Fail2ban 0.8.7 release
by admin ·
Recall that fail2ban is a daemon that scans the user-defined log-files and automatically adds the rule to iptables for triggering the defined filters. For example, you can specify a rule that after 2 failed attempts to log on smtp, IP-address of the remote side will be blocked for a certain number of minutes.
New functionality:
- Added filter / jail for lighttpd-auth.
- pyinotify as a backend.
- usedns-parameter for the jails, are not to use DNS.
- ‘Recidive’ Filter / jail to monitor file fail2ban.conf, which allows attackers to block repetitive.
- Added support for asterisk.
- Fail2ban is not possible to run as root.
Corrections:
- Fixed Gentoo init-script.
- In addBannedIP added enough rules to trigger the ban, not just a failed attempt.
- Field «ip» forcibly returned as a str, not unicode, to save the log in the non-unicode.
- Allowed trailing white-spaces in the lighttpd-auth.conf.
- Allowed trailing white-spaces in some regex in sshd.conf.
