====== Security ======

some tools for security

===== fail2ban =====

ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors via iptables

  apt-get install fail2ban

jails are defined in **/etc/fail2ban/jail.local** - setup all options there


**to receive mail, you need to set default action to**

  action = %(action_mwl)s


check, if it works

  iptables -n -L 


**Test, if it really works and actually blocks offending IPs!!**


**If your INPUT chain allows everything, you need to change to FORWARD chain!**

Try manually, if INPUT or FORWARD drops the IP:

  iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -s EV.IL.IP

  iptables -I FORWARD -j DROP -s EV.IL.IP

The working chain must be setup in jail.conf or jail.local AND in /etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-multiport.conf

  # FORWARD required, because INPUT accepts all
  chain = FORWARD






**Unban:**

Use these commands to remove an IP from the blackhole - example for blocked courier mailserver logins:
  fail2ban-client get courierlogin actionunban xx.xx.xx.xx
  fail2ban-client get courierauth actionunban xx.xx.xx.xx
  /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart



==== debug ====


if the service doesn't start

for some useful error messages:
  fail2ban-client -x start

too much cpu / ram usage maybe a problem with /etc/localtime

trace which files are opened / closed all the time by one of the server threads:

  strace -f -p <various pids of fail2ban processes

try to delete the database in /var/lib/fail2ban


==== log analysis ====

some bash lines to extract IPs from logfiles

get banned messages from one jail:
 
  grep contactforms fail2ban.log.1 | grep Ban > blocked-ips-complete
  grep contactforms fail2ban.log | grep Ban >> blocked-ips-complete

count:
  cat blocked-ips-complete | wc -l

get unique IPs sorted by date:
  cat blocked-ips-complete | awk  '{print $1 , $2 , $7}' | sort -u -k3,4 | sort -k1,1  > blocked-ips-by-date

get only IPs and sort by IP:
  cat blocked-ips-by-date | awk  '{print $3}' | sort -u

===== apparmor =====

WIP

install:
  apt-get install apparmor apparmor-profiles apparmor-utils

add boot parameter:
  perl -pi -e 's,GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="(.*)"$,GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$1 apparmor=1 security=apparmor",' /etc/default/grub
  update-grub
  reboot

check:
  aa-status

activate app profiles..
