| + | ====== Prevent SSH Brute Force Attacks using Iptables ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you see a lot of these messages in /var/log/secure you might consider blocking SSH based on time and source IP.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | sshd[30138]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=119.188.7.185 user=root\\ | ||
| + | sshd[30138]: Failed password for root from 119.188.7.185 port 9482 ssh2\\ | ||
| + | Received disconnect from 119.188.7.185: 11: Bye Bye\\ | ||
| + | Invalid user oracle from 119.188.7.185\\ | ||
| + | input_userauth_request: invalid user oracle\\ | ||
| + | pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown\\ | ||
| + | pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=119.188.7.185\\ | ||
| + | Failed password for invalid user oracle from 119.188.7.185 port 9647 ssh2\\ | ||
| + | Received disconnect from 119.188.7.185: 11: Bye Bye\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | This functionality can be achieved by using iptables recent module. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add following to your /etc/sysconfig/iptables: | ||
| + | |||
| + | A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --set --name SSH | ||
| + | A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 600 --hitcount 3 --rttl --name SSH -j LOG --log-prefix "FW_DROPPED:" | ||
| + | A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -m recent --update --seconds 600 --hitcount 3 --rttl --name SSH -j DROP | ||
| + | A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT | ||
| + | |||
| + | Short description of the rules: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - or each new connection attempt to port 22, add the remote source address to the "SSH" tracking table\\ | ||
| + | - If this is the third such new connection within 600 seconds, update the remote source address entry in the tracking table and log rejection action\\ | ||
| + | - If this is the third such new connection within 600 seconds, update the remote source address entry in the tracking table and DROP the connection\\ | ||
| + | - Otherwise, accept the new connection. | ||
