I have a fail2ban configured like below:

block the ip after 3 failed attempts release the IP after 300 sec timeout

This works perfectly and I want to keep it this way such that a valid user gets a chance to retry the login after the timeout.

We've been using fail2ban to block failed ssh attempts. I would like to setup the same thing for phpMyAdmin as well.

As phpMyAdmin doesn't log authentication attempts to a file (that I know of), I'm unsure of how best to go about this.

Does a plugin / config exist that makes phpMyAdmin log authentication attempts to a file? Or is there some other place I should look for such an activity log?

I'm using a custom filter in fail2ban to search through it's own log and ban an ip after 5 bans from any of the regular filters. I'm using iptables-allports as action for this.

Hello guys, I have build a dedicated server with centOS and I need a point since I have a small problem.. The server is running as host and I have pointed my domain address on it. It also runs nginx on epel with ispconfig , php5,mysql database, fail2ban, e.g., and a sort of other services..

So I've installed fail2ban on ubuntu server 12.04, set it to ban folks and email me and it's doing bugger all

Here's what's in the log

Code: 2012-07-19 14:56:59,555 fail2ban.server : INFO  Changed logging target to /var/log/fail2ban.log for Fail2ban v0.8.6 2012-07-19 14:56:59,555 fail2ban.jail  : INFO  Creating new jail 'ssh' 2012-07-19 14:56:59,556 fail2ban.jail 

[ubuntu] Cacti with Fail2ban 45 weeks 2 hours ago

Does anyone have Cacti with Fail2ban working?

I used the additional scripts from fail2ban and placed them in cacti.

/usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/fail2ban_stats.sh

The readout of the jails is done with fail2ban-client. But as cacti is running non-root it cannot access the data.

Didn't find any solution in the forum...

What I now did was (and this works perfect): chmod ugo+rwx /var/run/fail2ba
