Package: fail2ban Version: 0.8.1-3 Severity: normal Tags: patch The failregex don't match the incorrect password event ": USER ... (Login failed)". Also the failregex don't math the root login attempts "SECURITY VIOLATION". I also added a general proftpd's authentication error "Maximum login attempts". I suggest the following failregex for the rule /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/proftpd.conf:
failregex = \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\): USER \S+: no such user found from \S+ \[[0-9.]+\] to \S+:\S+$ \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\): USER \S+ \(Login failed\): Incorrect password\.$ \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\): SECURITY VIOLATION: \S+ login attempted\.$ \(\S+\[<HOST>\]\): Maximum login attempts \(\d+\) exceeded$ -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (560, 'testing'), (550, 'testing'), (540, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (260, 'stable'), (250, 'stable'), (240, 'proposed-updates'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=ISO_8859_15 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to it_IT) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fail2ban depends on: ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-central 0.5.15 register and build utility for Pyt Versions of packages fail2ban recommends: ii iptables 1.3.8.0debian1-1 administration tools for packet fi -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
