# reaction
|
|
|
|
🚧 this program has not been tested in production yet 🚧
|
|
|
|
a program that scans program outputs, such as logs,
|
|
for repeated patterns, such as failed login attempts,
|
|
and takes action, such as banning ips.
|
|
|
|
(adapted from [fail2ban](http://fail2ban.org)'s presentation 😄)
|
|
|
|
## rationale
|
|
|
|
i was using fail2ban since quite a long time, but i was a bit frustrated by it's cpu consumption
|
|
and all its heavy default configuration.
|
|
|
|
in my view, a security-oriented program should be simple to configure (`sudo` is a very bad exemple!)
|
|
|
|
## configuration
|
|
|
|
this configuration file is all that should be needed to prevent bruteforce attacks on an ssh server.
|
|
|
|
`/etc/reaction.yml`
|
|
```yaml
|
|
definitions:
|
|
- &iptablesban [ "iptables" "-w" "-I" "reaction" "1" "-s" "<ip>" "-j" "block" ]
|
|
- &iptablesunban [ "iptables" "-w" "-D" "reaction" "1" "-s" "<ip>" "-j" "block" ]
|
|
|
|
patterns:
|
|
ip: '(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3})|([0-9a-fA-F:]{2,90})'
|
|
|
|
streams:
|
|
ssh:
|
|
cmd: [ "journalctl" "-fu" "sshd.service" ]
|
|
filters:
|
|
failedlogin:
|
|
regex:
|
|
- authentication failure;.*rhost=<ip>
|
|
retry: 3
|
|
retry-period: 6h
|
|
actions:
|
|
ban:
|
|
cmd: *iptablesban
|
|
unban:
|
|
cmd: *iptablesunban
|
|
after: 2d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`/etc/systemd/system/reaction.service`
|
|
```systemd
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
ExecStart=/path/to/reaction -c /etc/reaction.yml
|
|
|
|
ExecStartPre=/path/to/iptables -w -N reaction
|
|
ExecStartPre=/path/to/iptables -w -A reaction -j ACCEPT
|
|
ExecStartPre=/path/to/iptables -w -I INPUT -p all -j reaction
|
|
|
|
ExecStopPost=/path/to/iptables -w -D INPUT -p all -j reaction
|
|
ExecStopPost=/path/to/iptables -w -F reaction
|
|
ExecStopPost=/path/to/iptables -w -X reaction
|
|
|
|
StateDirectory=reaction
|
|
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/reaction
|
|
```
|
|
See [reaction.service](./reaction.service) and [reaction.yml](./reaction.yml) for the fully commented examples.

|
## documentation
|
|
|
|
### configuration reference
|
|
|
|
|
|
`cmd`: note that if program is not in environment's `PATH`, the full path to the command should be given.
|
|
|
|
`/etc/systemd/system/reaction.service` (again, commented)
|
|
```systemd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### implicit configuration
|
|
|
|
the working directory of `reaction` will be used to create and read from the embedded [lmdb](https://www.symas.com/lmdb) database.
|
|
if you don't know where to start it, `/var/lib/reaction` should be a sane choice.
