Make FusionPBX log Auth Failures

Code added to r794 by Avi Marcus.

Logs

This will log FusionPBX authentication failures to syslog (AUTH_LOG). This file can be in different places depending on how rsyslog, or syslog is configured.

  • Ubuntu
    • /var/log/auth.log

Examples

incorrect username

Feb  1 11:35:11 your_hostname FusionPBX: [w.x.y.z] authentication failed for login_username

incorrect password

Feb  1 12:07:27 your_hostname FusionPBX: [w.x.y.z] authentication failed for superadmin

Setting up Fail2Ban

RegEx

You can test the regex with fail2ban-regex

'[hostname] FusionPBX: \[<HOST>\] authentication failed'

Configuration

Jail Options

Every jail can be customized by tuning following options:

Jail Options
Name Default Description
filter Name of the filter to be used by the jail to detect matches. Each single match by a filter increments the counter within the jail
logpath /var/log/messages Path to the log file which is provided to the filter
maxretry 3 Number of matches (i.e. value of the counter) which triggers ban action on the IP.
findtime 600 sec The counter is set to zero if no match is found within "findtime" seconds.
bantime 600 sec Duration (in seconds) for IP to be banned for.

Ubuntu

vim /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/fusionpbx.conf

# Fail2Ban configuration file
#
# Author: soapee01
#

[Definition]

# Option:  failregex
# Notes.:  regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The
#          host must be matched by a group named "host". The tag "<HOST>" can
#          be used for standard IP/hostname matching and is only an alias for
#          (?:::f{4,6}:)?(?P<host>[\w\-.^_]+)
# Values:  TEXT
#
#failregex = [hostname] FusionPBX: \[<HOST>\] authentication failed
#[hostname] variable doesn't seem to work in every case. Do this instead:
failregex = .* FusionPBX: \[<HOST>\] authentication failed for


# Option:  ignoreregex
# Notes.:  regex to ignore. If this regex matches, the line is ignored.
# Values:  TEXT
#
ignoreregex =

add the following to /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

[fusionpbx]

enabled  = true
port     = 80,443
protocol = tcp
filter   = fusionpbx
logpath  = /var/log/auth.log
action   = iptables-allports[name=fusionpbx, protocol=all]
#          sendmail-whois[name=FusionPBX, dest=root, sender=fail2ban@example.org] #no smtp server installed


/var/log/fail2ban.log will log this after 3 missed logins.

Errors

If you're seeing something like this in your fail2ban logfile:

2011-02-27 14:11:42,326 fail2ban.actions.action: ERROR  iptables -N fail2ban-freeswitch-tcp

add the time.sleep(0.1) to /usr/bin/fail2ban-client

def __processCmd(self, cmd, showRet = True):
	beautifier = Beautifier()
	for c in cmd:
		time.sleep(0.1)
		beautifier.setInputCmd(c)

or

sed -i -e s,beautifier\.setInputCmd\(c\),'time.sleep\(0\.1\)\n\t\t\tbeautifier.setInputCmd\(c\)', /usr/bin/fail2ban-client
