Fail2Ban Web Report

Requirement

• CentOS 5.x
• Fail2Ban Installed
• Web Server engine such as Apache or something like that
• No need of Database

How to use it?

1. Install the following packages.

yum install git sysstat
yum install GeoIP

2. Clone it to the computer
   git clone https://github.com/a-lang/F2B-Report.git
3. Using the git to monitor a few important system files such as /etc/passwd, /etc/group, etc.
   The list of the files I added:

cd /  
git init
git add /etc/passwd
git add /etc/group
git add /etc/shadow
git add /etc/gshadow*
git add /etc/httpd/conf*
git add /etc/ssh/ssh*config
git add /bin
git add /etc/fstab
git add /etc/crontab
git add /etc/yum.repos.d/
git add /etc/host*
git add /etc/init.d/ 
git commit -m "whatever message" 

4. Copy the directory html to your web directory such as /var/www/html
   cp F2B-Report/html /var/www/html/f2b_report
5. Copy the file gen.sh to any directory other than the web directory.

• In this case, I created a directory /var/www/scripts

mkdir /var/www/scripts
cp F2B-Report/gen.sh /var/www/scripts 

• Modify the gen.sh as you needed

F2BLOG_ALL="/var/log/fail2ban*"
F2BLOG_LATEST="/var/log/fail2ban.log"
OUTDIR="/var/www/html/f2b_report"

6. Create a cron job to execute the file gen.sh periodically.
   The gen.sh would generate all raw data of the report and saving them as data.json on $OUTDIR directory.

crontab -e

*/5 * * * * bash /var/www/scripts/gen.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

Integration with PBXinFlash (Optional)

• Editing the menu of PBXinFlash

cp F2B-Report/ico_Fail2ban.png /var/www/html/welcome/
vi /var/www/html/welcome/.htindex.cfg

• Inserting the line below

2,f2b_report,./f2b_report/,Fail2Ban Report,ico_Fail2ban.png

Hoping you enjoy it !
