Fedora Security :: Get Pam_tally2 To Block Failed Logins With Ssh?
Aug 1, 2011
I have been trying to get pam_tally2 to block failed logins with ssh. No matter how many failed logins I do I can still log in with the correct password using SSH. Anyone have this working?
Here are the configuration I am using. I have put this in sshd and password-auth-ac.
auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 file=/var/log/tallylog lock_time=180 unlock_time=1200 magic_root account required pam_tally2.so magic_root In the /var/log/secure I do see messages related pam_tally2 and the counter going up.

How do I monitor who is ssh'ing into a box (SLES) as well as failed attempts? How can I log their IP addresses, even if they're not in DNS?/var/log/messages I see their hostname but no IP address

Failed login attempts are logged to syslog with the user id or login id set to UNKNOWN_USER or UNSET.Anybody know if this is configurable. I would rather it just pass the actual id that the user used. Doesn't matter if it exist or not, just want to know if someone is guessing at user names and what those user names are

went through the tutorial on FedoraSolved for securing ssh. I installed denyhosts with yum and then tried to run it with the command line command"sudo /etc/init.d/denyhosts start" but I got the message"Job Failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details [FAILED]"and in the application "services" in the applications menu,t shows an exclamation warning and says that "This unit has failed"

I would like to detect every login on my server. Not only ssh logins (virtual terminals) but also physical logins.There is a way to use nagios or a script to watch log files.But I would like to know is there a way to catch that information one step before.I thought about watching /dev/pts for changes but that is not different than log watching and everything does not appear in /dev/pts like a ssh tunnel (ssh -N user@server). These are only visible in logs because ssh tunnels do not open terminals.But I would like to be able to catch these on login.

Is there a way to lock out logins at the console? I ask this because I can not login at the console but can remotely login to the system via ssh. I'm guessing I blindly implemented a security option and didn't know what I was doing when I did it.

I recently set up a web server at home, using a non-standard port, due to my ISP blocking 80. I just checked my log files, and I see a TON of entries indicating that a file was not found "proxy-1.php", "proxyheader.php", etc. I do not have these files, not intend to have them as part of my website. I did a whois looking by IP address for several of these, and they all seem to come from an ISP in China. Is there a way to BLOCK any IP address outside the US (that is somewhat simple to do?)

I'm trying to secure the CentOS servers on our company network as the current situation is, shall we say, less-than-ideal: remote root logins with the same password across several servers (behind a firewall, on non-standard ports, but still) and several key processes running as root. My proposal to amend this consists of the following:
- setup a bare as possible SSH-gateway with only the normal user accounts to handle remote access
- disable the root login from anywhere else but LOCAL and create special accounts with root permissions for our ~4 system administrators, like admin.foo admin.bar that can only login from inside the company network, using SSH-keys.
So far my biggest obstacle seems to be creating the administrative users, how do I go about and do that? When I simply create a user adminfoo with uid=0 it will show on my shell as root, which makes it useless as a way to make our admins accountable for their actions. BTW, my initial proposal to use sudo unfortunately met with strong resistance, because it compromises usability.

Lastb often shows me a huge list of attempted ssh logins.Such as this excerpt:
Code:
admin ssh:notty Sat Sep 11 23:47 - 23:47 (00:00) 184-154-37-12.Huge-DNS.COM
root ssh:notty Sat Sep 11 23:47 - 23:47 (00:00) 184-154-37-12.Huge-DNS.COM

I want to block some ip address that are attacking my server and making my ssh port busy. On searching the google, I found
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -s ip_address -j DROP
I will add this rule in iptables. My questions are:
1) do I have to do
Code:
chkconfig iptables on
so that it load the iptables at boot. I am wondering why do I need this because iptables is already modified and it loads the iptables at boot time if firewall is enabled.
2) When we add the above rule, which file is modified? Another way, where are this rules stored? It is not in /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/iptables_config.

I'm tasked with creating a base image of ubuntu (one for server, one for workstation) that is locked down and has all the fluff taken out (naturally workstation will have more fluff left in it than server). Task list looks about like this:
1. Create list of deb packages "allowed", write script to list/uninstall everything else.
2. Hook the logins into either enterprise kerberos or Active Directory (yuck).
3. Write scripts to check things like setuid/setguid, disabling su, checking sudo permissions, configure iptables, etc.
4. Use a scanner to scan the system from outside the system (was thinking of using backtrace).
5. Custom-compile the kernel to strip out all the unneeded modules.
Before embarking on this awesome task I figured I'd check with you guys to see if you know of some resources that would make this task easier/quicker. I'm sure someone out there has already headed down this branch.
PS My boss *loves* ubuntu and isn't to keen on going with a deb (or other) distro that is already "security trimmed" without some serious convincing. I'm sure there are some out there, and if you want to pass along a couple for consideration, I'll check them out, but no guarantees he'll let me use it.

I just installed FC12 and was trying to do the security update, but it encountered an "internal error" and asked me to "report this bug to the distribution's bugtracker" with the details. However, I am not sure exactly what to do. Could someone be kind enough to let me know?

Is this how I would do that?
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 21 -d ! 168.192.1.2 -j DROP
This should block all incoming connections on port 21 from 192.168.1.2, correct? Thus preventing that IP from logging into my FTP.

I want to login into my main machine from my laptop,sing ssh with several linux consoles, all running mc.Is there any way to only login once with one password, and get several consoles running at the same time?It's a pain to have to ssh and give the same password for each console I want running on the main machine.I've looked at the screen package, but can't seem to get that working.What I'd really like is 3 different terminal sessions, all connected with one password. Each terminal with 3 tabs, all running mc under the same password. So that's 9 different instances of mc running remotely

I'm trying to block an incoming URL. My ISP is hijacking 404 pages and annoyingly changing the URL line in the browser and flashing all sorts of popup ads. I just need it for incoming URLs which my router doesn't seem to handle. I'd prefer something packaged with Ubuntu 8.04, but anything simple will do. I know in KDE I could edit the kdeglobals file with:
[KDE URL Restrictions]
rule_1=open,,,,[URL],,false
rule_count=1
