hi, recentry a customer asked me to stop that annoying brute force attacks to the ssh console. There are diffrent ways to do so but I got good results using fail2ban on debian servers. So why not to use it on efw too.
Here comes the efw rpm package tested with efw community edition 2.3. ssh port 22 and https port 10443 should work out of the box and stop attackers after three failed logins. other configurations are unchanged, so you may want to have a look at /var/efw/fail2ban/jail.conf to install do: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # login to ssh console of the efw ssh myefw # download the rpm package curl https://zimbra.silpion.de:443/home/[email protected]/Briefcase/efw/fail2ban-0.8.4-1.noarch.rpm > fail2ban-0.8.4-1.noarch.rpm # install the package rpm -ivh fail2ban-0.8.4-1.noarch.rpm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- No guaranty. have fun ...
