Jailing Failed phpMyAdmin Attempts with Fail2Ban
Moving to a Linode Virtual Server
27 Sep 2012 | Apache
Log Failed WordPress Login Attempts
Tags: Fail2Ban Firewall phpMyAdmin Security
After consolidating all of my websites onto a Linode VPS, Ive had more time to devote to scanning my log files. After seeing various
failed attempts at trying to locate phpMyAdmin on my system, I decided to implement a Fail2Ban jail to block the incoming IP
address. If you are not familiar with Fail2Ban, see my Fail2Ban installation and configuration guide.
Heres a sample Apache error.log file showing a very persistent script attempting to locate various flavors of phpMyAdmin on a
server:
# tail /var/log/apache2/error.log

First, lets create the jail. Add this text to the end of the file in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
[phpmyadmin]
enabled = true
port
= http,https
filter = phpmyadmin
logpath = /var/log/apache*/*error.log
maxretry = 3
bantime = 3600
Second, lets create the filter. Im just going to check for a few of the primary ones. Feel free to expand the list as you see necessary.
Create the file /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/phpmyadmin.conf and paste in this text:
[Definition]
failregex = [[]client <HOST>[]] (File does not exist|script ').*(phpMyAdmin|phpmyadmin|dbadmin|mysq
ignoreregex =
Finally restart Fail2Ban to pickup our changes
# /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart

3 sur 3
Checking my fail2ban.log file I can see that my script is working correctly and has already blocked two bad IPs.
# tail /var/log/fail2ban.log
2012-09-27 13:43:55,199 fail2ban.actions: WARNING [phpmyadmin] Ban 96.254.171.2
2012-09-27 14:22:42,122 fail2ban.actions: WARNING [phpmyadmin] Ban 157.55.32.109
Anyone running a phpMyAdmin scanning script will be stopped and their IP address will be jailed via iptables for 60 minutes. Ive
seen a huge decline in the number of phpMyAdmin attempts in my error logs. This wont stop the attempts completely, however
they seem to get annoyed and give up after having their IP blocked.
