File Content: abuseipdb.conf # Fail2ban configuration file # # Action to report IP address to abuseipdb.com # You must sign up to obtain an API key from abuseipdb.com. # # NOTE: These reports may include sensitive Info. # If you want cleaner reports that ensure no user data see the helper script at the below website. # # IMPORTANT: # # Reporting an IP of abuse is a serious complaint. Make sure that it is # serious. Fail2ban developers and network owners recommend you only use this # action for: # * The recidive where the IP has been banned multiple times # * Where maxretry has been set quite high, beyond the normal user typing # password incorrectly. # * For filters that have a low likelihood of receiving human errors # # This action relies on a api_key being added to the above action conf, # and the appropriate categories set. # # Example, for ssh bruteforce (in section [sshd] of `jail.local`): # action = %(known/action)s # abuseipdb[abuseipdb_apikey="my-api-key", abuseipdb_category="18,22"] # # See below for categories. # # Added to fail2ban by Andrew James Collett (ajcollett) ## abuseIPDB Categories, `the abuseipdb_category` MUST be set in the jail.conf action call. # Example, for ssh bruteforce: action = %(action_abuseipdb)s[abuseipdb_category="18,22"] # ID Title Description # 3 Fraud Orders # 4 DDoS Attack # 9 Open Proxy # 10 Web Spam # 11 Email Spam # 14 Port Scan # 18 Brute-Force # 19 Bad Web Bot # 20 Exploited Host # 21 Web App Attack # 22 SSH Secure Shell (SSH) abuse.
