Plesk 12.x / Linux :: No Logs For Fail2ban - File Is Empty
Dec 11, 2014I'm just wondering how I can start logging activity in Fail2Ban. I've got the following line in the "logs" tab in "IP Address Banning" in the Plesk UI:
/var/log/fail2ban.log
However when I check this it states "The file is empty".
I'm assuming there will be a setting somewhere that tells fail2ban to log to that file but I'm not sure where/what it is?
I know for sure that I've had IP's banned but they just don't appear to be logged.
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Fail2ban Does Not Ban On All IPs?
Aug 31, 2014I activated fail2ban in Plesk 12 and set the SSH jail to ban after 2 retries for 24h on all ports.
This is the generated "/etc/fail2ban/jail.local":
Code:
[ssh]
enabled = true
maxretry = 2
action = iptables-allports[name=ssh]
I tested it and I'm only banned on the IP of SSH (I have one only for SSH and the Plesk panel).
I have 10 IPs in total on my server. I can still access all other IPs, i.e. my websites.
Why does fail2ban not block me completely?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Reinstall Fail2Ban Entirely
May 7, 2015So on our server, fail2ban got itself in a mess. Tried various things to fix, to no avail, so figured I'd just do a fresh install of it. There was minimal customisation to it that I couldn't re-do.
Note I'd already rm'd /etc/fail2ban - as on previous attempts, the files in here didn't appear to be restored to their defaults. So I figured removing the directory would force this to happen (Whether this was wise I'm not sure!) ;-)
So, following instructions here: [URL] .... I now get the following:
# wget http://kb.sp.parallels.com/Attachments/kcs-36245/fail2ban.gz
# gunzip fail2ban.gz
# mv fail2ban /etc/init.d/fail2ban
# chmod 755 /etc/init.d/fail2ban
# ll /etc/init.d/fail2ban /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf: No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2141 Aug 15 2014 /etc/init.d/fail2ban
I then uninstall/reinstall with # /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller
(Have tried via the web interface too)
I then get:
# ll /etc/init.d/fail2ban /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf: No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2141 Aug 15 2014 /etc/init.d/fail2ban
i.e., no change..
and if I go to the fail2ban settings in Plesk, I get:
Internal error: f2bmng failed: ERROR:f2bmng:No section: 'Definition'
Message f2bmng failed: ERROR:f2bmng:No section: 'Definition'
Is there a way to regenerate what should be in /etc/fail2ban by default?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Cannot Add New Filter To Fail2ban
Aug 12, 2014I am not able to add a new filter to fail2ban
If I go in plesk panel to: Home > Tools & Settings >IP Address Banning > Jails > managing Filters > add filter > type in name & filtercontent and save I get "Information: The jail filter was added". But i can not see the new added filter in the Plesk Filter List (still just the 12 Filters in the list).
On the filesystem > /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ i can see the new file but with the extension .local - usulay the file is named like xyz.conf
The output of /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/f2bmng --get-filters-list
[["apache-auth", "fail2ban"], ["apache-badbots", "fail2ban"], ["apache-common", "fail2ban"],

["proftpd", "fail2ban"], ["recidive", "fail2ban"], ["sshd", "fail2ban"], ["test", null]]
test is the name i choosed for the new filter and it seems the second field has "null" .....
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Fail2Ban Don't Lock IP
Jul 14, 2014we have a brute force attack:
Code:
188.132.180.106 - - [14/Jul/2014:22:03:37 +0200] "POST /administrator/index.php HTTP/1.0" 303 262 "-" "-"
188.132.180.106 - - [14/Jul/2014:22:03:38 +0200] "GET /administrator/index.php HTTP/1.0" 200 7244 "-" "-"
188.132.180.106 - - [14/Jul/2014:22:03:38 +0200] "GET /administrator/index.php HTTP/1.0" 200 7117 "-" "-"
188.132.180.106 - - [14/Jul/2014:22:03:39 +0200] "POST /administrator/index.php HTTP/1.0" 303 262 "-" "-"
[code]....
And so on, but the Fail2Ban doesn't lock this ip address, why? And how can we manually lock about the webinterface this ip?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Add Action To Fail2ban
Aug 10, 2014Well with activated apache-badbots jails I have in a short time a hugh amount of banned IPs. Usualy action for this is to use iptables-ipset-proto and save all this baned IPs in the ipset insteed as normal in the iptables list - thats also a suggestion which was discussed in the fail2ban forum for better performance. And yes I had this running (ipset package installed) with my manual installation of fail2ban before I switched over to the plesk integrated.
action = iptables-ipset-proto6[name=BadBots, port="http,https,7080,7081"] insteed of action = iptables-multiport[name=BadBots, port="http,https,7080,7081"]
So how can I add iptables-ipset-proto4.conf, iptables-ipset-proto6-allports.conf, iptables-ipset-proto6.conf to the plesk version of fail2ban??

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Fail2ban Default Blocking Port
Feb 11, 2015i'm running 12.0.18#34 on PCS dedicated server. i recently discovered that some of the default jails on fail2ban that is shipped with Plesk 12 were not working correctly. Let me explain what i mean. For instance, the plesk-panel jail. The logs were parsed correctly, the command was successfully appended in iptables list, the fail2ban log was updated. Still, the intruder was not blocked. I kept reading "already banned" on the fail2ban.log but actually there was no blocking.
After some checks, i found out that fail2ban default configuration states SSH as default blocking port.
that means, the block was working but only for ssh hits. thus the plesk-panel admin page hits were passing through.
since i added port=http,https on jail.local > plesk-panel and did it a restart on fail2ban service, only then did it start to actually block incoming hits.
I think this should be verified by programmers group and maybe include a fix in some future minor update.
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Fail2Ban Menu Item Missing
Jul 3, 2014I have updated from 11.5 to 12.0 mostly in order to use Fail2Ban.
I have also installed a new Plesk 12 license key to make sure that the license allows Fail2Ban. It says now that Fail2Ban is "On". But I can not find the menu entry to get to the Fail2Ban configuration. It is simply not there... (it is supposed to be in the Securitiy menu in the Tools and Settings section...)
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Fail2ban Setting Findtime Per Jail
Jul 14, 2014In Fail2ban (great idea to include it in plesk!) settings you can set "Time interval for detection of subsequent attacks" (findtime) in general. But it would be interesting this setting per Jail.
You could have 2 jail with same filter but different findtime. Example:
Jail 1) 5 failures in 600 seconds: 1800 seconds ban
Jail 2) 30 failures in 86400 seconds: 604800 seconds ban
There are bots that detect if you have some protection fail2ban or similar and it will adapt, login attempt every 300 seconds for example. Jail 1 no detect this attack, but Jail 2 yes.
See the example, live time :
[root@--------- log]# cat /var/log/maillog | grep 'warning: ---------'
Jul 14 07:10:54 --------- postfix/smtpd[5482]: warning: ---------[--.--.--.---]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure

Then, when I start fail2ban, I have this thing :

# iptables -L | grep Chain | grep dos
and finally, I made some stress test, geneating more than 5000hits in 5 min, and no luck, nothing.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: After Mod Security Logrotate New Log Is Empty
Jul 6, 2014Plesk 12 on Centos 6.5
I added the following to my /etc/logrotate.conf
/var/log/modsec_audit.log {
missingok
daily
rotate 4
compress
}
I'm not exactly sure if the above is the correct syntax, but the result was that two days later my current modsec_audit.log was Gzipped and a new modsec_audit.log was created.
The problem is that nothing was logged to this new file.
From the Plesk 12 control panel I turned off mod security and then turned it back on again and hey presto, the new logfile started to log events.
This leaves the problem of why nothing was recorded when the file was created.
