Features of IPBan
- Auto ban ip addresses on Windows and Linux by detecting failed logins from event viewer and/or log files. On Linux, SSH is watched by default. On Windows, RDP, OpenSSH, VNC, MySQL, SQL Server and Exchange are watched. More applications can easily be added via config file.
- Highly configurable, many options to determine failed login count threshold, time to ban, etc.
- Make sure to check out the ipban.config file (formerly named DigitalRuby.IPBan.dll.config, see IPBanCore project) for configuration options, each option is documented with comments.
- Banning happens basically instantly for event viewer. For log files, you can set how often it polls for changes.
- Very fast - I've optimized and tuned this code since 2012. The bottleneck is pretty much always the firewall implementation, not this code.
- Unban ip addresses easily by placing an unban.txt file into the service folder with each ip address on a line to unban.
- Works with ipv4 and ipv6 on all platforms.
Requirements:
- IPBan requires .NET 6 SDK to build and debug code. For an IDE, I suggest Visual Studio Community for Windows, or VS code for Linux. All are free. You can build a self contained executable to eliminate the need for dotnet core on the server machine, or just download the precompiled binaries.
- Running and/or debugging code requires that you run your IDE or terminal as administrator or root.
- Officially supported platforms: Windows 8.1 or newer (x86, x64), Windows Server 2012 or newer (x86, x64), Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RedHat x64). Windows Server 2008 will work with some tweaks, but it is basically at end of life, so no longer officially supported. Please note that for CentOS and RedHat Linux, you will need to manually install iptables and ipset using yum package manager.
- Mac OS X not supported at this time.
