eddy556 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi, I'm running Apache with basic Auth running on it to authenticate users. My question is how do I block a certain IP address after an x number of failed access attempts? Thanks :-) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68217-block-ip-after-x-number-of-failed-access-attempts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkwinter Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi I dont know how to do it with apache, but if you are on a linux server (which i assume??) then have a look at a package called fail2ban. I haven't used it for this purpose but i know it can be done. http://www.fail2ban.org cheers, tdw Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68217-block-ip-after-x-number-of-failed-access-attempts/#findComment-342953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 fail2ban is your man. It will parse apache, mail, ssh, ftp, etc. log files, and when X attempts to connect fail, it will add a iptables rule for 5 minutes automatically. On debian and Ubuntu: apt-get install fail2ban On Centos/Fedora: vi /etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo [dries] name=Extra Fedora rpms dries - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/dries/RPMS/ includepkgs=phpmyadmin,fail2ban yum update up2date yum yum install fail2ban -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68217-block-ip-after-x-number-of-failed-access-attempts/#findComment-343350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy556 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 Nah sorry its running Windows Server 2003 (I tried Ubuntu but there are no drivers for my GFX card).

steviewdr Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (I tried Ubuntu but there are no drivers for my GFX card) - I bet there are drivers somewhere for that, and if not, Im sure there'd be a generic driver. I dont know of any similar app to fail2ban for windows -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/68217-block-ip-after-x-number-of-failed-access-attempts/#findComment-343748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
