\"Debian\"What is DenyHosts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a python script intended to be run by GNU\/Linux system administrators and users to help thwart SSH server attacks which are also known as dictionary based attacks and brute force attacks. It has the ability to run as a daemon and it can automatically block attackers and prevent them from gaining access to your server.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is LogWatch?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Logwatch is a customizable log analysis system. Logwatch parses through your system’s logs and creates a report analyzing areas that you specify and can report them by email.<\/p>\n

– Installing and configuring DenyHosts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Make sure your system is always up-to-date:<\/strong><\/p>\n

apt-get update && apt-get -y upgrade<\/pre>\n
2. Install DenyHosts by executing the following command:<\/strong><\/p>\n
apt-get -y install denyhosts<\/pre>\n
once it is installed, denyhosts has to be configured. Anyhow, you can use the configuration below which is tested and works perfectly fine.<\/p>\n
3. Backup the original configuration file and create a new one using the following command:<\/strong><\/p>\n
cp \/etc\/denyhosts.conf{,_ORIG} && cat > \/etc\/denyhosts.conf <<EOF\r\n#xxxxxx optional options xxxxxx#\r\nADMIN_EMAIL = your@email.com\r\nSMTP_HOST = localhost\r\nSMTP_PORT = 25\r\nSMTP_FROM = DenyHosts <nobody@localhost>\r\nSMTP_SUBJECT = DenyHosts Report\r\nAGE_RESET_VALID=5d\r\nAGE_RESET_ROOT=25d\r\nAGE_RESET_RESTRICTED=25d\r\nAGE_RESET_INVALID=10d\r\n#xxxxxx end optional options xxxxxx#\r\n\r\n#xxxxxx required options xxxxxx#\r\nSECURE_LOG = \/var\/log\/auth.log\r\nHOSTS_DENY = \/etc\/hosts.deny\r\nPURGE_DENY =\r\nBLOCK_SERVICE = ALL\r\nDENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID = 5\r\nDENY_THRESHOLD_VALID = 10\r\nDENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT = 1\r\nDENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED = 1\r\nWORK_DIR = \/var\/lib\/denyhosts\r\nSUSPICIOUS_LOGIN_REPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS=YES\r\nHOSTNAME_LOOKUP=YES\r\nLOCK_FILE = \/var\/run\/denyhosts.pid\r\n#xxxxxx end required options xxxxxx#\r\n\r\n#xxxxxx daemon specific options xxxxxx#\r\nDAEMON_LOG = \/var\/log\/denyhosts\r\nDAEMON_SLEEP = 30s\r\nDAEMON_PURGE = 1h\r\n#xxxxxx daemon specific options xxxxxx#\r\nEOF<\/pre>\n
You need to have a working smtp service on your server for denyhosts to be able to send you reports via email and since all our VPS Hosting Plans<\/a> come with an already installed and fully working mail server if you’re our customer you do not need to worry about this.<\/em><\/p>\n
4. With all that in place, you’re ready to start denyhosts so do it by executing:<\/strong><\/p>\n
service denyhosts restart<\/pre>\n
\n
– Installing and running LogWatch<\/strong><\/p>\n
1. Install LogWatch using the following command:<\/strong><\/p>\n
apt-get -y install logwatch<\/pre>\n
once the installation of LogWatch is completed, proceed with<\/p>\n
2. Setting LogWatch cron script so it can run on a daily basis. Do not forget to change ‘your@email.com’ with your actual email address.<\/strong><\/p>\n
cat > \/etc\/cron.daily\/00logwatch <<EOF\r\n#!\/bin\/bash\r\ntest -x \/usr\/share\/logwatch\/scripts\/logwatch.pl || exit 0\r\n\/usr\/sbin\/logwatch --mailto your@email.com\r\nEOF<\/pre>\n
3. Restart your cron service<\/strong><\/p>\n
service cron restart<\/pre>\n
