Perplexe avec fail2ban

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fc9dfb17f50>

J’ai un serveur, sous Ubuntu 22, sur lequel fonctionne fail2ban avec cette config /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

banaction = iptables-allports
bantime = 30h
findtime = 25m
maxretry = 3

Je pense que cette ip 103.91.136.18 devrait être bannie

tail /var/log/auth.log | grep 103

Jan 23 19:41:36 vps7 sshd[1300617]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=103.91.136.18

et pourtant elle ne l’est pas

J’ai donc testé avec une de mes IP, et le bannissement se fait bien, mais j’observe des logs différents.

Jan 23 19:32:31 vps7 sshd[1298589]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=xx.xx.xx.xx user=root
Jan 23 19:32:34 vps7 sshd[1298580]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for root from xx.xx.xx.xx
Jan 23 19:32:34 vps7 sshd[1298580]: error: maximum authentication attempts exceeded for root from xx.xx.xx.xx port 53452 ssh2 [preauth]

Un lecteur a-t-il une explication

  1. Pourquoi pas de bannissements?
  2. Pourquoi des logs différents?

Merci d’avance pour tout avis.

que dit /var/log/fail2ban.log ?

je me demande si ta conf banaction = iptables-allports est valable
man jail.conf montre seuleme nt
banaction_allports= iptables-allports

mais je ne sais pas

Merci @dindoun pour ta réponse.

Peut-être un piste avec le warning ?

j’ai trouvé ça ( Some timezone warnings since version 0.11.2 · Issue #2882 · fail2ban/fail2ban · GitHub ; en anglais mais comme je ne suis pas sur du pb je préfère ne pas résumer)

`Fail2ban knows two modes now:

not in operation - if fail2ban starts or when a new log-file gets added to the jail (fail2ban has to process messages there are already written in file at some point)
in operation mode - fail2ban reached once the end of log-file (so hereafter every message read from this log will be considered as new)

I dont have a problem with the warnings of a possible timezone problem (though in my case the error is 8hrs from a rtkit log message - a known problem so its annoying.

But this is (was) a problem previously - fail2ban just assumed too old failure and ignored it (now this handling is changed, and it does not expect too old failure in operation mode).

This is a change of status implying that the system is no longer operating but has gone offline into a simulation mode.

No, this means that fail2ban is in operation mode with this log-file, and despite the timestamp seems to be old (but because also incorrect), fail2ban throws a warning and simulate now as occurrence time for this failure.

Can you confirm that there is no change in operational status of fail2ban

There is a change in « operational status » - previously it used the time of the failure (read from log) to consider:

the failure must be forgotten if now > time_of_fail + findtime;
the failure is completely obsolete (would cause a ban with immediate unban, due to now > time_of_fail + bantime;

Normally this handling is used if timestamp is not deviating too much. Just in operation mode, fail2ban consider new messages (no matter which timestamp) as currently written, so the warning is throwed to signal something is wrong with timestamp.
And now this failure is considered as NEW regardless its timestamp.

and perhaps clarify the warning message if its harmless to the operational status of fail2ban?

Sure, how you would like to see that? (note, it must be as short as possible).
`

Besoin de temps pour comprendre mais cela semble la bonne piste.

De mon côté j’ai trouvé ce lien Fail2Ban "Please check jail has possibly a timezone issue" - ℹ️ Support - Nextcloud community

qui évoque le même problème.

@dindoun

Encore plus perdu :frowning:

J’ai viré mon jail.local, rebooté, je n’ai plus de warning … et toujours aucun bannissement !!! … Je reprendrai demain soir.

@dindoun

Hier soir j’ai continué un peu, j’avais oublié de préciser dans mon précédent post que j’avais également mis la config par défaut : backend = auto.

En remettant systemd, j’ai retrouvé le warning.

En fouillant un peu la doc, j’ai fini par mettre backend = polling et j’ai remis pour la nuit mon jail.local.

Ce matin, je constate qu’il y a bien des « found » dans mon fail2ban.log mais a priori pas 3 consécutifs dans une tranche de 25mn, ce qui semble indiquer qu’il fonctionne bien.

Il me reste à

  • vérifier ce point (en augmentant le findtime par exemple)
  • comprendre les logs, par exemple

et au final, idéalement, expliquer le problème avec systemd

si ça peut t’aider,chez moi
