Resources

sshguard è un sistema di prevenzione delle intrusioni che analizza i log del server, determina le attività dannose e utilizza il firewall di sistema per bloccare gli indirizzi IP delle connessioni malevole. sshguard è scritto in C quindi non necessita di un interprete.

Come funziona

sshguard è un semplice demone che setaccia in continuazione uno o più file di log. Esso analizza i log che i demoni inviano in caso di tentativi di accesso non riusciti e poi blocca ogni ulteriore tentativo da quelle connessioni aggiornando il firewall del sistema.

Rispetto a quello che può suggerire il nome, sshguard non funziona solo con log di SSH. Esso supporta anche molti sistemi di mail nonché alcuni FTP. Una lista completa di servizi supportati è disponibile sul sshguard.net sito

Installazione

Emerge

installa app-admin/sshguard:

root #emerge --ask app-admin/sshguard

Additional software

Depending on the init system and the desired firewall backend to be used by sshguard, additional software may be required to be emerged in order for sshguard to block malicious actors.

More information on various supported backends can be found by reading the setup manpage:

root #man 7 sshguard-setup

iptables

When iptables are being used as the system firewall.

root #emerge --ask net-firewall/iptables

Maggiori informazioni riguardo l'uso e la configurazione di IPtables possono essere trovati nel IPtables article.

nftables

When nftables are being used as the system firewall:

root #emerge --ask net-firewall/nftables

Configurazione

iptables backend

Preparare il firewall

When sshguard blocks any malicious users (by blocking their IP addresses), it will use the sshguard chain.

Prepare the chain with iptables and make sure it is also triggered when new incoming connections are detected:

root #iptables -N sshguard
root #iptables -A INPUT -j sshguard

Then verify that the appropriate path to the iptables backend library is set in /etc/sshguard.conf:

FILE /etc/sshguard.confSet iptables library for BACKEND
# Full path to backend executable (required, no default)
BACKEND="/usr/libexec/sshg-fw-iptables"

Osservare i file log

The basic idea behind sshguard is that the administrator passes on the log file(s) to watch as options to the application - there is no native sshguard configuration file.

On Gentoo, the options can be best configured in the /etc/sshguard.conf file:

FILE /etc/sshguard.confConfiguring sshguard to read /var/log/messages and /var/log/auth.log
# Space-separated list of log files to monitor. (optional, no default)
FILES="/var/log/messages /var/log/auth.log" 
#
# How many problematic attempts trigger a block
THRESHOLD=10
# Blocks last at least 24 hours (60480 seconds)
BLOCKTIME=60480
# Track IP addresses for 24 hours (60480 seconds)
DETECTION_TIME=60480
#
# IPv6 subnet size to block. Defaults to a single address, CIDR notation. (optional, default to 128)
IPV6_SUBNET=64
# IPv4 subnet size to block. Defaults to a single address, CIDR notation. (optional, default to 32)
IPV4_SUBNET=24
#
# Full path to PID file (optional, no default)
PID_FILE=/run/sshguard.pid

Make sure that the log files are accessible for the runtime user that sshguard uses.

Servizi

OpenRC

Have sshguard be started by default by adding it to the default runlevel, and then start it:

root #rc-update add sshguard default
root #rc-service sshguard start

systemd

Use systemd's conventional way to enable it, and then start it:

root #systemctl enable sshguard
root #systemctl restart sshguard

Blacklisting hosts

With the blacklisting option after a number of abuses the IP address of the attacker or a IP subnet will be blocked permanently. The blacklist will be loaded at each startup and extended with new entries during operation. sshguard inserts a new address after it exceeded a threshold of abuses.

Blacklisted addresses are never scheduled to be released (allowed) again.

To enable blacklisting, create an appropriate directory and file:

root #mkdir -p /var/lib/sshguard
root #touch /var/lib/sshguard/blacklist.db

While defining a blacklist it is important to exclude trusted IP networks and hosts in a whitelist.

To enable whitelisting, create an appropriate directory and file:

root #mkdir -p /etc/sshguard
root #touch /etc/sshguard/whitelist

The whitelist has to include the loopback interface, and should have at least 1 IP trusted network f.e. 192.0.2.0/24.

FILE /etc/sshguard/whitelistWhitelisting trusted networks
127.0.0.0/8
::1/128
192.0.2.0/24
Nota
The 192.0.2.0/24 entry has to be adjusted to fit the own needs.

Add the BLACKLIST_FILE and WHITELIST_FILE file to the configuration. Example configuration listed blocks all hosts after the first login attempt. To setup a less agressive blocking policy, adjust the THRESHOLD and BLACKLIST_FILE integer, and set it to f.e. 10 instead of 2:

FILE /etc/sshguard.confConfiguring sshguard to blacklist abusers
BACKEND="/usr/libexec/sshg-fw-iptables"
FILES="/var/log/auth.log"
#
THRESHOLD=2
BLOCK_TIME=43200
DETECTION_TIME=604800
#
IPV4_SUBNET=24
IPV6_SUBNET=64
#
PID_FILE=/run/sshguard.pid
#
# Add following lines
BLACKLIST_FILE=2:/var/lib/sshguard/blacklist.db
WHITELIST_FILE=/etc/sshguard/whitelist

Restart the sshguard daemon to have the changes take effect:

root #/etc/init.d/sshguard restart

Risoluzione dei problemi

File '/var/log/auth.log' vanished while adding!

When starting up, sshguard reports the following error:

CODE Error message when trying to add a monitor for /var/log/auth.log
Sep 23 03:39:11 foo.bar.com sshguard[64933]: File '/var/log/auth.log' vanished while adding!

Such an error (the file path itself can be different) occurs when the target file is not available on the system. Make sure that it is created, or update the sshguard configuration to not add it for monitoring.

On a syslog-ng system with OpenRC, the following addition to syslog-ng.conf can suffice:

FILE /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.confcreating auth.log file
log { source(src); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); destination(console_all); };
 
destination authlog {file("/var/log/auth.log"); };
filter f_auth { facility(auth); };
filter f_authpriv { facility(auth, authpriv); };
log { source(src);  filter(f_authpriv);  destination(authlog);  };

Reload the configuration for the changes to take effect:

root #rc-service syslog-ng reload
