    in reply to: iptables+fireHOL not blocking IP’s #6703

    Quote:
    I suggest you stop SecAst, delete the secast log file, and restart Secast, then manually ban 1 IP. Either post the secast log (or send to support@autocommander.aws2.ocg.ca if you are concerned about making content public) and we can look there for further clues.

    If this is a commercial environment keep in mind that we recommend blocking attackers at the network edge (firewall) – letting SecAst add rules to your firewall.

    Your recommendation may have worked. Evidence follows…

    /etc/xdg/telium/secast.conf


    [asterisk] ;=================================================================

    ; Location of logfile containing security related messages. In versions of
    ; Asterisk prior to 10 this would normally be the primary messages file
    ; (/var/log/asterisk/messages), while in later versions of Asterisk this would
    ; be the security file (/var/log/asterisk/security)
    securitylog=”/var/log/asterisk/messages”
    ;securitylog=/var/log/asterisk/security

    ; hostname or ip address of the Asterisk server. Normally this should be set
    ; to “localhost” but can be any valid IP/hostname
    hostname=”localhost”

    ; Port number to connect to Asterisk Management Interface (AMI). This should
    ; match the port settings of the manager.conf file on the Asterisk server.
    ; This is normally set to 5038
    port=5038

    ; Username used for authentication to the AMI. This should match the section
    ; heading in the manager.conf file on the Asterisk server. Normally this
    ; should be set to “secast”
    username=”secast”

    ; Secret used for authentication to the AMI. This should match the secret set
    ; in the section heading for the username above, in the manager.conf file on
    ; the Asterisk server. This should not be left at the default of “secast”
    secret=”MySecret”

    This is a home installation.

    My intent is to let SecAst modify the firewall as necessary. I am concerned about interactions between SecAst and FireHOL. I have a lot more interaction with FireHOL than SecAst, so I’d really like a way to allow SecAst to “self heal” even if it is semi-automatic/manual. I could envision a command such as “SecAst> iptables init” with others such as “SecAst> iptables list” to show/verify what SecAst added to iptables. Or every N number of minutes (or with each new “detected” attack), have SecAst verify it’s installation in iptables and restore iptables as necessary from the BanIP list. Or even better, is there something I can add to FireHOL config /etc/firehol/firehol.conf which will call SecAst to re-add/verify it’s installation in iptables?

    I really like your phpBB installation, very effective!

    Thank you for your help. I suspect SecAst is now running properly until I accidentally break it again with FireHOL. 😳
