Beschreibung

fail2ban is one of the simplest and most effective security measures you can implement to prevent brute-force attacks.

WP fail2ban logs all login attempts – including via XML-RPC, whether successful or not, to syslog using LOG_AUTH. For example:

Oct 17 20:59:54 foobar wordpress(www.example.com)[1234]: Authentication failure for admin from 192.168.0.1
Oct 17 21:00:00 foobar wordpress(www.example.com)[2345]: Accepted password for admin from 192.168.0.1

WPf2b comes with three fail2ban filters: wordpress-hard.conf, wordpress-soft.conf, and wordpress-extra.conf. These are designed to allow a split between immediate banning (hard) and the traditional more graceful approach (soft), with extra rules for custom configurations.

Works like a charm

nssy

Been using this for a while now. Integration with fail2ban is pretty straight forward.

This plugin is perfect, essential – thank you so much

herculesnetwork

This plugin is perfect, essencial - thank you so much the best thing about this plugin after it works perfectly, is that it does not change the directories nor names of the configuration files, something unpleasant that always happens in plugins, you configure everything for the given file, and a certain directory of the plugin and in a new version unnecessarily the plugin changes the things of place. this plugin I have a long time, and I have a command to copy and paste the w2 fail2ban plugin settings to fail2ban, and things continue as usual. Thanks to the developer. Who does not give 5 stars, does not know how to use it.

Perfect – worked first time

commando

Great plugin, that worked first time. On Amazon Linux / Centos the location of the log file is /var/log/messages

Very useful

sillystring

Great idea if you host your own server and use fail2ban. Thanks!

Just great

FernandoNunes

Works just great with latest version. Keep up the good work.

works great

helix84

Works great and is very flexible. The only thing I'd recommend out of the box is to move the regex for "Authentication attempt for unknown user" from wordpress-hard.conf to wordpress-soft.conf because the former bans the user after first failure (as per the recommended default configuration). ^%(__prefix_line)sAuthentication attempt for unknown user .* from <HOST>$

Not released.

3.6.0

The filter files are now generated from PHPDoc in the code. There were too many times when the filters were out of sync with the code (programmer error) – this should resolve that by bringing the patterns closer to the code that emits them.
Added PHPUnit tests. Almost 100% code coverage, with the exception of WP_FAIL2BAN_PROXIES which is quite hard to test properly.
Bugfix for wordpress-soft.conf.
Add WP_FAIL2BAN_XMLRPC_LOG.
Add WP_FAIL2BAN_REMOTE_ADDR.
WP_FAIL2BAN_PROXIES now supports an array of IPs with PHP 7.
Moved all documentation to https://docs.wp-fail2ban.com/.
