Fewer than that from django (since the host takes place before any foreign input), but yes, it is. Because 301/400/404 could be theoretically everywhere in string (part of URI, agent etc), so a false positive for legitimate requests would be possible. To avoid that it must have no catch-all before response code, for instance like this: failregex = ^<ADDR> \S+ \S+(?: \[\])? "[^"]*" (?:301|40[04])\b And you don't need 3 RE's here (just enclose deviating parts into (?: ... ), separated by |).

Thanks so much. I didn't want to study the regex in depth. Good life.

it is OK? No! This regex is vulnerable, since due to 2 catch-all's and unanchored matter can match the IP everywhere (e. g. in foreign input too). So it has several issues starting with performance and ending with certain vector for an injection on forign input. And ^.* is not an anchor at all (it can be removed and would change nothing), because this 2 regex are quasi equivalent: - ^.*something + something
IT ALSO WORKS: failregex = ^.*login failure.*ip_address: "<HOST>" it is OK? Thanks!
IT ALSO WORKS: failregex = ^.*login failure.'ip_address: "<HOST>" it is OK? Thanks!

In case the tags in info structure (JSON5?) are always given in this order (and there are no other tags in-between) you can use this one: failregex = ^\s*WARNING AXES: (?:New|Repeated) login failure by \{username: "<F-USER>[^"]+</F-USER>", ip_address: "<ADDR>" Otherwise you could use something like that: failregex = ^\s*WARNING AXES: (?:New|Repeated) login failure by \{(?:(?:username: "<F-USER>[^"]+</F-USER>"|ip_address: "<ADDR>"|\S+: (?:"[^"]*"|[^\s,]+))(?:,\s*|\}))+ If AXES is some dynamic data...

Hello Serg, Thanks for the prompt answer, I will keep looking at fail2ban and the IPv6 progress. I appreciate all your team do. Sincerely,
Due to support of IPv6 and other reasons, in new version banactions will execute actionstart on demand (by first ban of IP for corresponding family). See https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/1755#issuecomment-295286513 for more details.

But either you have to use logrotate in order to hold your log-files slim as possible, or use another actions which don't need to cumulate failures from the log-file, like "sendmail-whois-matches". Also note that current development as well as issue...

Sorry, I made a mistake. It is better to do this: firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 1000 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -D INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT Reasons: - iptables cant set priorities, only firewall-cmd can - inserting the new rule before deleting the old one will make sure you wont be locked out

Maybe it is my misconfiguration somewhere. ON action maybe? Perhaps... Dunno. Did you see any error by pf-action in fail2ban.log? Multiport? You set port 80 only (what is with https, which is 443) Some pf/kernel (MacOS?) related issue (e. g. it does not kill current connection for some reasons)

As already said we're moved to github, so it is now primary target for that. Wiki is for configs, examples etc. For possible discussions or if you want to share your configs, simply open an issueon github (I'll add a label "Dokumentation" or "How-To" for that and close it if we cannot obtain something in our standard installation, but it remains open for further comments).

No. No idea what webmin is, but I don't think it is an issue of fail2ban as long as start via packet manager succeeds. Perhaps simply missing permissions.

Fail2Ban Config Mac OS Mojave
Well, normally the issue tacker is moved to github. So better is to open it there. But it looks, like your config is wrong, at leastsshd_backend seems to be not defined. And backend is per default a substitution of %(sshd_backend)s which is missed. This is basicaly a part of every path-*.conf include (see https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/search?q=sshd_backend&unscoped_q=sshd_backend), which seems to be not provided in your configs. So either try to find somewhere a proper file path-macos.conf...
You might ask why I am installing fail2ban! The reason is because some characters keep doing the same insane boot DDoS attack on the server expecting different results. Why they are "insane"? Because many times is the same attack using different ip addresses expecting different results. So, if they never get anywhere, why bother? The issue is that when they run these types of attacks, they consume lots of bandwidth and causes interruptions on videos and sevices. Here is an small example of their...

Not really (excepting documentation e. g. because here we use python, in python). Let alone this is not so simple to learn (but too simple to make something wrong) and I don't know your skill to recommend you something.
Have you a tipp/website where i can learn regex?!
Well, fail2ban-regex is your friend if you will construct own regex. [jail] filter = failregex = ^\s*(?:\[\])?\s*\[[^\]]+\] HTTP Response 40\d to "<HOST>"
OK then, if you want to catch 401 (Unauthorized) only, you should change 40\d to 401

Change the mechanism for ignorecommand to use STDOUT instead of exit codes.
The current development (as well as the issue- resp. rfe-tracker) happens on github... Thus please let us do the future comminication there. Regarding this RFE, I've created similar handling for one customer of me, however using nginx and a bit customized fail2ban-version. Additionally you could use nginx as load balancer before your apache. But in your case, if I correct understand, it'll be possibe without fail2ban customization (or will work totally without fail2ban). If interested please contact...
