Häufig kommt es vor, dass einzelne Benutzer oder automatisierte Scripts an einem Server verschiedene Kombinationen aus Benutzernamen und Passwörtern “ausprobieren” (das sogenannte Brute-Force) mit dem Ziel einen funktionierenden Login zu finden. Dies wollen wir natürlich verhindern und die Verursacher wirkungsvoll aussperren, wobei uns das Tool Fail2Ban behilflich ist.

Fail2Ban ist ein kleines Programm auf Python-Basis, welches die Logdateien der Server durchsucht und IP-Adressen, die zu viele fehlgeschlagene Loginversuche haben, blockiert. Das Blockieren der IP-Adressen geschieht dabei in der Regel über Firewallregeln, welche von Fail2Ban entsprechend angepasst werden.

In dieser Anleitung werden wir die, bei Linux üblichen, iptables verwenden. Weiterhin bringt Fail2Ban aber auch Unterstützung für z.B. Shorewall mit und lässt sich beliebig an die auf dem System eingesetzte Firewall anpassen.

Von Hause aus unterstützen die Version bis einschließlich 0.9.x von Fail2Ban nur IPv4-Adressen. Durch eine recht kleine Anpassung lässt es sich jedoch auch auf IPv6 erweitern, was im Beitrag Fail2Ban mit IPv6 beschrieben wird.

Ab Version 0.10 kann Fail2Ban auch ohne zusätzliche Patches IPv6-Adressen erkennen und zuverlässig blockieren. Aus diesem Grund sollte vorzugsweise die Version 0.10.x verwendet werden, auch wenn die Installation etwas aufwändiger ist.

Manuelle Installation von Version 0.10.x

Zuerst müssen die benötigten Abhängigkeiten installiert werden:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pyinotify python3-systemd python3-dnspython

Anschließend laden wir das .tar.gz-Archiv des aktuellsten 0.10.x Releases herunter und installieren Fail2Ban.
Der jeweils aktuelle Download-Link ist auf der Fail2Ban GitHub Releases Seite zu finden.

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/archive/0.10.4.tar.gz
tar -xf 0.10.4.tar.gz
cd fail2ban-0.10.4/
sudo python setup.py install
sudo cp build/fail2ban.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl enable fail2ban
sudo systemctl start fail2ban

Damit ist die manuelle Installation dann auch schon abgeschlossen und Fail2Ban läuft mit den Standardeinstellungen.

Als nächster Schritt sollte die Konfiguration erfolgen, da in den Standardeinstellungen keine Jails aktiviert sind.

Installation aus den Repositories

Hinweis: Die Versionen in den Standard-Repositories sind aktuell (Stand November 2018) mit 0.9.x etwas veraltet und bieten noch keine native Unterstützung von IPv6!

Unter Debian und Ubuntu Linux ist die Installation von Fail2Ban gewohnt einfach und ggf. fehlende Abhängigkeiten werden automatisch mit installiert:

sudo apt-get install fail2ban

Damit ist die Installation auch schon vollständig und Fail2Ban wurde bereits gestartet.

sudo systemctl status fail2ban
Status of authentication failure monitor:fail2ban is running.

Konfiguration

Die gesamten Einstellungen von Fail2Ban befindet sich im Verzeichnis /etc/fail2ban/.

Die grundlegende Konfiguration erfolgt in der Datei jail.local, welche eine Kopie der jail.conf darstellt. Anpassungen könnten auch in der jail.conf vorgenommen werden, jedoch wird diese bei einem Update eventuell überschrieben. Sobald die Datei jail.local vorhanden ist wird diese von Fail2Ban verwendet und unsere Konfiguration bleibt auch bei einem Update erhalten. Zuerst müssen wir also die jail.conf als jail.local kopieren und anschließend passen wir die jail.local nach unsern Vorstellungen an.

sudo cp /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
sudo nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

Die Konfigurationsdateien sind in verschiedene Sektionen unterteilt. Eine Sektion wird durch eckige Klammern gekennzeichnet (z.B. [ssh]).

Die DEFAULT-Sektion stellt dabei eine Besonderheit dar. Die hier vorgenommenen Einstellungen gelten für alle anderen Sektionen, sofern ein Wert nicht in einer Sektion erneut gesetzt wird. Ansonsten sind die Einstellungen nur für die jeweils aktuelle Sektion gültig.

Die DEFAULT-Sektion

Bei ignoreip können IP-Adressen oder IP-Bereiche angegeben werden, die nie geblockt werden sollen. Mehrere Einträge sind mit Leerzeichen zu trennen. Es empfiehlt sich hier zumindest während der Konfiguration seine eigene IP hinzuzufügen.

Unter bantime wird die Bannzeit in Sekunden angegeben. Wir belassen es hier bei dem voreingestellten Wert von 600 (entspricht 10 Minuten).

maxretry gibt die Anzahl der Fehlversuche an, ab der er eine Aktion ausgelöst wird.

findtime bestimmt das Zeitfenster in Sekunden für die Anzahl an Fehlversuchen.

Bei destemail kann eine E-Mail Adresse angegeben werden, an die Benachrichtigungen gesendet werden, wenn Fail2Ban eine IP-Adresse blockiert.

banaction legt fest, welche Aktion zum Blockieren einer IP angewendet werden soll. Wir belassen diese bei iptables-multiport, da damit gleich mehrere Ports gesperrt werden können.

Den Eintag bei action ändern wir auf %(action_mwl)s damit wir beim Blockieren einer IP-Adresse eine E-Mail mit ein paar Informationen zugesendet bekommen.

Andere Sektionen, die sogenannten Jails

In jeder Sektion kann eine Einstellung aus der DEFAULT-Sektion (z.B. bantime) überschieben werden.

Nicht benötigte Jails sollten deaktiviert werden.

Erforderlich sind in den Sektionen die folgenden Einstellungen:

  • enabled legt fest, ob die Sektion aktiviert ist oder nicht. Standardmäßig sind seit v0.9.0 alle Jails deaktiviert.
  • port gibt den Port oder die Ports an die für die IP gesperrt werden sollen.
  • filter definiert den verwendeten Filter für diese Sektion. Alle verfügbaren Filter befinden sich im Verzeichnis /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/.
  • logpath legt die Logdatei fest, welche überwacht werden soll.

Ein Sonderfall, die recidive-Sektion

Dieses Jail stellt eine Besonderheit dar. Hier überwacht Fail2Ban seine eigene Log-Datei und erkennt somit mehrfach gesperrte IP-Adressen.

Dies ist sinnvoll, damit IP-Adressen, die häufiger auffällig werden, für einen längeren Zeitraum gesperrt werden können. Wurde beispielsweise eine IP 5 mal in Folge innerhalb kurzer Zeit gesperrt, so wird diese für eine Woche komplett gesperrt.

Im Folgenden Beispiel ist diese Sektion ab Zeile 748 zu finden.

# "maxretry" is the number of failures before a host get banned.

# "backend" specifies the backend used to get files modification.
# Available options are "pyinotify", "gamin", "polling", "systemd" and "auto".
# This option can be overridden in each jail as well.
#
# pyinotify: requires pyinotify (a file alteration monitor) to be installed.
#              If pyinotify is not installed, Fail2ban will use auto.
# gamin:     requires Gamin (a file alteration monitor) to be installed.
#              If Gamin is not installed, Fail2ban will use auto.
# polling:   uses a polling algorithm which does not require external libraries.
# systemd:   uses systemd python library to access the systemd journal.
#              Specifying "logpath" is not valid for this backend.
#              See "journalmatch" in the jails associated filter config
# auto:      will try to use the following backends, in order:
#              pyinotify, gamin, polling.
#
# Note: if systemd backend is chosen as the default but you enable a jail
#       for which logs are present only in its own log files, specify some other
#       backend for that jail (e.g. polling) and provide empty value for
#       journalmatch. See https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/959#issuecomment-74901200

# "usedns" specifies if jails should trust hostnames in logs,
#   warn when DNS lookups are performed, or ignore all hostnames in logs
#
# yes:   if a hostname is encountered, a DNS lookup will be performed.
# warn:  if a hostname is encountered, a DNS lookup will be performed,
#        but it will be logged as a warning.
# no:    if a hostname is encountered, will not be used for banning,
#        but it will be logged as info.
# raw:   use raw value (no hostname), allow use it for no-host filters/actions (example user)
usedns = warn

# "logencoding" specifies the encoding of the log files handled by the jail
#   This is used to decode the lines from the log file.
#   Typical examples:  "ascii", "utf-8"
#
#   auto:   will use the system locale setting
logencoding = auto

# "enabled" enables the jails.
#  By default all jails are disabled, and it should stay this way.
#  Enable only relevant to your setup jails in your .local or jail.d/*.conf
#
# true:  jail will be enabled and log files will get monitored for changes

Neustart von Fail2Ban

Zum Schluss starten wir Fail2Ban neu um alle Anpassungen zu aktivieren.

sudo systemctl restart fail2ban

Nun ist Fail2Ban aktiv und überwacht pausenlos die in der Datei jail.local eingestellten Logdateien.
