iptables config for support fail2ban
=========================
start fail2ban :
/etc/init.d/fail2ban start
or
service fail2ban start
service start when Linux boot :
chkconfig fail2ban on
note : fail2ban blocked public ip user ftp when login fails 5 time and block time 600 seconds.
with fail2ban automatic add rule on iptables below :
iptables -N fail2ban-VSFTPD
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 21 -j fail2ban-VSFTPD
when user ftp login fails 5 time . fail2ban add rule below:
iptables -t filter -I fail2ban-VSFTPD 1 -s public_ip_user_ftp_fails -j DROP
Good Luck. fail2ban can apply to ssh , apache and other services with plus Security policy blocked hacker login fails.
