Hello, I noticed new entries for hosts.deny on Solaris 10 were not happening, mainly because of difficulty parsing the logs for illegal/invalid users.
I tried coming up with new REGEX settings and somehow I'm getting bizarre pairs of user names and IPs in hosts.deny Here are some samples from authlog I'd like to block: Mar 13 13:27:07 t2000 sshd[15288]: [ID 800047 auth.info] Illegal user mp3 from 140.114.23.66 Mar 24 20:34:00 t2000 sshd[16917]: [ID 800047 auth.info] Failed keyboard-interactive for <invalid username> from 222.122.38.82 port 60040 ssh2 Mar 30 04:02:51 enif sshd[18386]: [ID 800047 auth.info] Failed password for root from 149.255.38.229 port 59486 ssh2 Using this simple setting to start... SSHD_FORMAT_REGEX=.* (sshd\[.*\]: \[ID \d* auth\.info\]) (?P<message>.*) FAILED_ENTRY_REGEX=Illegal user \w from (?P<host>\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}) I get entries like: sshd: regsend - 111.222.333.444 where 111.222.333.444 is my IP which was not involved in logins with that username, and if I grep for the user 'regsend' in the authlog file, it does not exist. Most of the other entries like the above show real users and my own remote IP. I also get some good entries with only an IP. I'm not using sync. I've had no problem using this in any Linux system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
