git: sshlockout - Add sshlockout utility

[Matt Emmerton]

Question - why are we adding tools to base (eg sshlockout) when there are general-purpose tools that already exist that do this quite well (example - fail2ban)?

Hi,

 

I am interested in this topic. 

 

But IMHO. I think it will be good to use IPFW, because we can use "dynamic rule" to block the traffic, and each "dynamic rule" should have it's own expiry. 

 

So this sshlockout just need to monitor the ssh log and determine when and how to insert a correct "dynamic rule".

 

And suggestion?

 

 

Regards,

Bill Yuan

    sshlockout - Add sshlockout utility

    * Add sshlockout utility, typically setup as a syslog pipe.  This utility
      monitors for failed ssh login attempts and excessive preauth failures
      and will add a rule via IPFW to block the originating IP.

      The operator also typically sets up a cron job to clean out the IPFW rules
      that have accumulated once a day.

    * See man page for details.  Still under construction (feel free to submit
      additional features).

      TODO - IPV6

      TODO - Use a PF table instead of IPFW, which will greatly improve
         performance if a lot of rules have to be added.
