Access control using Fail2Ban and geoip: Difference between revisions

Geolookup

In order to do a geolookup from the command line, we have to get the GeoIP binary and database installed.

apt-get install geoip-bin geoip-database

Test it: geoiplookup 159.20.6.38 should give you GeoIP Country Edition: DK, Denmark

Fail2Ban

I assume Fail2ban is already installed and configured.

Create an action script: sudo vi /etc/fail2ban/action.d/geohostsdeny.conf

[Definition]

# Option:  actionstart
# Notes.:  command executed once at the start of Fail2Ban.
# Values:  CMD
#
actionstart = 

# Option:  actionstop

# Values:  CMD
#
actionstop = 

# Option:  actioncheck
# Notes.:  command executed once before each actionban command
# Values:  CMD
#
actioncheck = 

# Option:  actionban

actionban = IP=<ip> &&
            COUNTRY=$(geoiplookup $IP | egrep "<country_list>") && [ "$COUNTRY" ] || 
            (printf %%b "<daemon_list>: $IP\n" >> <file>)

# Option:  actionunban
# Notes.:  command executed when unbanning an IP. Take care that the
#          command is executed with Fail2Ban user rights.
