Dear Pleskians! The Plesk Forum will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on Monday, 7th of July, at 9:00 AM UTC. The expected maintenance window is 2 hours.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding on the matter.
Hello,
I have noticed that the IP addresses that are supposed to be banned in Recidive, actually still can access the server.
Here is an extract from the F2B logs for a specific attacking IP address:
2025-02-23 02:36:01,726 fail2ban.filter [939832]: INFO [plesk-postfix] Found...
Hello!
You might want to also consider recidive jail. It is analyse fail2ban log, and if some ip is banned several times (5 by default), it will be banned for a long time (1 week)
You can define the duration of bans using the "bantime" directive in the according recidive section of /etc/fail2ban/jail.local. You can also exclude your own IP from tests by adding it to the "ignoreip" directive.
According to another post, the "recidive" jail has been replaced by two new jails "plesk-one-week-ban.conf" and "plesk-permanent-ban.conf". We're using custom software and definitions that partly rely on the "recidive" chain and .conf. I'd like to know more what the two new confs do, whether...
My host has just migrated my server from the Centos that I was on (I understand that is now end of life).
I am now running
AlmaLinux 8.9 (Midnight Oncilla)
Product
Plesk Obsidian
Version 18.0.62 Update #2, last updated on July 25, 2024 05:16 AM
However, since the migration has happened, I...
Recidive looks for other jails’ bans in Fail2Ban’s own log. It blocks hosts that have received a ban from other jails five times in the last 10 minutes. The ban lasts a week and applies to all services on the server. On the other hand for the "plesk-permanent-ban" jail the bantime parameter is...
My IP in jail fail2ban using plesk
Hello everyone
Today a strange thing happened to me on plesk while I was zipping a 200mb img folder, fail2ban inserted my ip in jail not as a recidivist but as PLESK.
I put my ip in the trusted ip section, but I don't understand why I couldn't see any of my...
If the pages really exist, you can only manually ban the IP, e.g.
# fail2ban-client set recidive banip <ip address goes here>
But if you find a file that responds with a code 200 but is actually not a valid page of the site, you could use that to detect the bot and ban it automatically.
Looking at current connections will probably not help. Instead, you'll need to check the access_ssl_log files of your website(s). A good start is to first check which users' PHP-FPM is active (like # ps aux | grep php-fpm). Normally you'll directly see where a lot of cpu load is created. Then...
@Kaspar This code works fine also with IPv6:
#!/bin/bash
# Your AbuseIPDB API Key
API_KEY="123"
# File where already reported IPs are stored
REPORTED_IPS_FILE="/var/log/reported_ips.log"
# If the file doesn't exist, create it
[ ! -f "$REPORTED_IPS_FILE" ] && touch "$REPORTED_IPS_FILE"...
This is most likely a standard response and an equivalent for "do not bother us" ... :(
It's certainly not the recidive filter that is blocking you! This one is only adding IP's that have been blocked by other filters for a certain number of times.
Thus you should at first find out what...
It is also common that others try to break into mailboxes by brute-force attacks. It can help to have Fail2Ban in place and the Postfix, Dovecot and Recidive rules active.
@D4NY
You should NOT disable "recidive ban" (I think that you mean to say "recidive jail").
What is not clear to me : what is the IP of your own server? Could that be - coincidentally - 54.36.113.226????
If yes, then do NOT block your own IP address, not on via the Plesk firewall and not...
No, obviously is not the IP of my server. But it's geo located at OVH and i found it in the IP list (whitelist?) in Fail2ban.
Anyway i'm banning 193.24.210.0/24 via Plesk Firewall right now (incoming / all TCP and UDP / all ports)
I'm including a section of the fail2ban logs the day it seems like fail2ban went down if anyone wants to analyze it. It may show evidence of a malicious script taking down my firewall but I'm not sure. Also in the Auth logs during the same time I see these two lines:
Oct 18 06:33:57 jello...
More than 3 years later I allow myself a push post.
- bantime of recidive was set to 604800, but not in the jail.local => still a problem
- horde should be enabled=false or removed, because I do not have this jail in my list as Horde is not installed (it was for 5 minutes, then I switched to...
Hello! If you want to report the blocked Fail2Ban IPs from Plesk to the AbuseIPDB, you can do this with the following shell script I created. This increases the likelihood that hosters will become active and infected systems will be uncovered. It includes a check that already reported IPs are...
