如何在Linux/unix上 ban spammer?

好多時review syslog 及 mail.log 都會見到好多spammer, spammer最common既observations就係做brute force attack. 當然正常情況下用strong password policy唔係咁容易比spammer誤入,但更好既方法就係做prevention control.

今次既教學係用 fail2ban 呢個utility去做filter及 ban IP address. 要用呢個utility 就先要install呢個package. command 如下

apt install fail2ban

完成install package後其實已經提供基上保障, 但out-of-box既configuration當然係做些少改善比較好啦. 其中一個例子就好似上面 postfix/smtp 不停 retry及brute force. out-of-box 既 configuration 暫時未有對應既jail rule/policy, 所以您就要跟住我做啦.

step 1 – 修改 /etc/fail2ban/, 在最後郭份加入

[postfix-auth]
enabled     = true
filter      = postfix-auth
action      = iptables-multiport[name=postfix,port="http,https,smtp,submission,pop3,pop3s,imap,imaps,sieve", protocol=tcp]
logpath     = /var/log/mail.log

step 1.1 – 增加敏感度 (optional)

maxretry     = 3

step 2 – 增加jail file /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/postfix-auth.conf

[Definition]
failregex = lost connection after AUTH from (.*)\[\]
ignoreregex =

step 3 – restart fail2ban

service fail2ban restart

睇成果既 command – tail/var/log/fail2ban.log
