+
+  * New upstream release, which incorporates fixes introduced in 3~pre
+    non-released versions (which were suggested to the users to overcome
+    problems reported in bug reports). In particular attention should be paid
+    to upstream changelog entries
+    - Several "failregex" and "ignoreregex" are now accepted.
+      Creation of rules should be easier now.
+      This is an alternative solution to 'multiple <HOST>' entries fix,
+      which is not applied to this shipped version - pay caution if upgrading
+      from 0.7.5-3~pre?
+    - Allow comma in action options. The value of the option must
+      be escaped with " or '.
+      That allowed to implement requested ability to ban multiple ports
+      at once (See 373592). README.Debian and jail.conf adjusted to reflect
+      possible use of iptables-mport
+    - Now Fail2ban goes in /usr/share/fail2ban instead of
+      /usr/lib/fail2ban. This is more compliant with FHS.
+      Patch 00_share_insteadof_lib no longer applied
+  * Refactored installed by debian package jail.conf:
+    - Added option banaction which is to incorporate banning agent
+      (usually some flavor of iptables rule), which can then be easily
+      overriden globally or per section
+    - Multiple actions are defined as action_* to serve as shortcuts
+  * Initd script was modified to inform about present socket file which
+    would forbid fail2ban-server from starting

+  * Moving waiting loop for fail2ban-server to stop under do_stop
+    function, so it gets invoked by both 'restart' and 'stop' commands

+fail2ban (0.6.0-4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Modifications in README.Debian to reflect a "finding" on
+    not-AllowedUsers banning which requires default Debian configuration
+    of "ChallengeResponseAuthentication no" and "PasswordAuthentication
+    yes"
+  * Fixed Apache timeregex and timepattern to confirm
+    the fomat of time stamp used in Debian's acccess.log (error.log uses
+    RFC 2822 format)
+  * Added section ApacheAttacks to specify some common patterns of attacks on
+    a webserver (awstats.pl as a try). This section stays split from Apache
+    since it is of different nature and might be not appropriate for some
+    users
+  * Forced owner/permissions of log file to be root:adm/640 in postinst and
+    logrotate (closes: #352053)

+
+  * ignoreip is now empty by default (closes: #347766)
+  * increased verbosity in verbose=2 mode: now prints options accepted
+    from the config file
+  * to make fail2ban.conf more compact, thus to improve its readability,
+    fail2ban.conf was converted to use "interpolations" provided by
+    ConfigParser class. fw{start,end,{,un}ban} options were moved into
+    DEFAULT section and required options (port, protocol) were added

+  * Merged with the latest stable upstream release. That incure some
+    changes for the Debian configuration of the package to be more
+    upstream-like. Visible one is: subject in the sent email includes
+    section outside of "[Fail2Ban]"

+

+
+fail2ban (0.5.4-6.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Fixed typos (thanx to Ross Boylan).
+  * Robust startup: if iptables module gets fully initialized after
+    startup of fail2ban, fail2ban will do "maxreinit" attempts to
+    initialize its own firewall. It will sleep between attempts for
+    "polltime" number of seconds (closes: #334272).
+  * To overcome possible conflict with other firewall solutions and as a
+    secondary solution for the bug 334272, fail2ban startup is moved
+    during bootup to the latest (S99) sequenece position. That should not
+    cause any discomfort I believe.

+
+fail2ban (0.5.4-5.14) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added a notification regarding the importance of 0.5.4-5 change of
+    failregex in the config file.
+  * Adjusted address to FSF.
+  * Adjusted failregex for SSH so it bans "Illegal user" entries as well, and
+    restricted full failregex more to include ":" at the beginning, because
+    otherwise it might not be sufficient and would revive bug 330827 (closes:
+    #333056).
+  * Adjusted failregex for SSH to accommodate recent changes in logging of
+    SSH: Illegal -> Invalid. Should match both now.
+  * Fixed a problem of raise AttributeError exception reported as a side
+    effect of crash during parsing of the config file.
+  * Introduced fwcheck option to verify consistency of the
+    chains. Implemented automatic restart of fail2ban main function in
+    case check of fwban or fwunban command failed (closes: #329163, #331695).
+    (Introduced patch was further adjusted by upstream author).
+  * Added -f command line parameter for [findtime].
+  * Fixed the issue of not respecting command line parameters for parameters
+    within sections.
+  * Added -e command line parameter to provide enabled sections from command
+    line.
+  * Added a cleanup of firewall rules on emergency shutdown when unknown
+    exception is catched.
+  * Fail2ban should not crash now if a wrong file name is specified in
+    config.

+    tool for denial of service attacks. Config files (or at least
+    failregex'es) must be updated from this package, otherwise the security
+    breach would remain open and only warning gets issued (closes: #330827)

+    setup right after background and then only loglevel (verbose,debug) is

+  * Removed -b from start-stop-daemon because fail2ban detahes on its own

+fail2ban (0.7.1-0.2) unstable; urgency=low

+  fail2ban 0.7 is a complete rewrite of the 0.6 version, and if you
+  customized any of provided configuration or startup files
+  (/etc/default/fail2ban, /etc/fail2ban.conf, /etc/init.d/fail2ban),
+  please read further. The configuration scheme has changed upstream:
+  0.7 ignores /etc/fail2ban.conf and instead uses a split configuration
+  under /etc/fail2ban/. To retain your customizations, for example to
+  monitor anything other than sshd, you will need to set them under that
+  new directory; use *.local files for customizations. Please see
+  /usr/share/doc/fail2ban/README.Debian.gz and
+  http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net for further description of new
+  configuration scheme. Detailed documentation is under development (see
+  #400416).  When you are satisfied with the new settings, please delete
+  /etc/fail2ban.conf to avoid confusion.
+
+  Fail2ban 0.7 uses client/server architecture and fail2ban-client is to
+  substitute fail2ban command to provide an interface between the user and
+  fail2ban-server. That is why some command line parameters present in
+  fail2ban 0.6 are invalid in fail2ban-client. Such change affects
+  /etc/default/fail2ban; you should review that file if you customized it.
+  Please enable sections as directed in README.Debian.gz mentioned above.
+  You must use newly shipped init.d/fail2ban, or otherwise fail2ban will
+  not start.
+
+  This note was rewritten in release 0.7.5-2 to clarify its meaning.

+fail2ban (>=0.7.0) for Debian
+-----------------------------
+
+This package is ~99% identical to the upstream version. Few features
+could have been added but not yet propagated into upstream version and
+some modifications might be Debian-specific. Debian specific jail.conf
+file is shipped. Original upstream file is available from
+/usr/share/doc/fail2ban/examples/jail.conf
+
+Currently, the major difference with upstream: python libraries are
+placed under /usr/share/fail2ban instead of /usr/lib/fail2ban to
+comply with policy regarding architecture independent resources.
+
+Upgrade from 0.6 versions:
+-------------------------
+
+* New Config Files Format:
+
+If you had introduced your own sections in /etc/fail2ban.conf, you
+would need manually to convert them into a new format. At minimum you
+need to create /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/NAME.local (leave .conf files
+for me and upstream please to avoid any conflicts -- introduce your
+changes in .local) with failregex in [Definition] section. And provide
+appropriate jail definition in /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
+
+
+* Enabled Sections:
+
+Only handling of ssh files is enabled by default. If you want to use
+fail2ban with apache, please enable apache section manually in
+/etc/fail2ban/jail.local by including next lines:
+
+[apache]
+enabled = true
+
+NOTE: -e command line parameter is non existant in 0.7.x
+
+
+* Interpolations vs actions/filters parameters:
+
+For details see #398739 or wait for a closure of #400416
+
+Every pair of .conf and then .local (if exists) files is read
+separately from any other configuration file, so interpolations cannot
+penetrate from jail.* into actions.d/*. To overcome this, it is
+necessary to create a PARAMETER which can be substituted in actions
+[Definition] section, if it is also defined in the [Init] section of
+that file and is used in place of necessary allocation as <PARAMETER>
+tag. Parameters can be specified in the definitions within
+jail.{conf,local}. For instance, 1 lengthy example, where the same
+name "fwchain" is used both as interpolation (in jail.local) and as a
+parameter (in iptables-flex.local) (from #398739)
+
+==> /etc/fail2ban/jail.local <==
+[DEFAULT]
+action = iptables-flex[name=%(__name__)s, port=%(port)s, fwchain=%(fwchain)s, post_start_commands=%(post_start_commands)s, pre_end_commands=%(pre_end_commands)s]
+fwchain = INPUT
+[ssh]
+fwchain = ssh-tarpit
+==> /etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-flex.local <==
+[Definition]
+actionstart = iptables -N fail2ban-<name>
+               iptables -I <fwchain> -m state --state NEW -p <protocol> --dport <port> -j fail2ban-<name>
+               iptables -I <fwchain> -j <whitelist>
+actionstop  = iptables -D <fwchain> -j <whitelist>
+               iptables -D <fwchain> -m state --state NEW -p <protocol> --dport <port> -j fail2ban-<name>
+               iptables -F fail2ban-<name>
+               iptables -X fail2ban-<name>
+actioncheck = iptables -n -L <fwchain> | grep -q fail2ban-<name>
+actionban   = iptables -I fail2ban-<name> 1 -s <ip> -j DROP
+actionunban = iptables -D fail2ban-<name> -s <ip> -j DROP
+[Init]
+whitelist = ssh-whitelist
+fwchain = INPUT
+name = default
+port = ssh
+protocol = tcp
+
+
+* Multiport banning: Comment for #373592, #545971
+
+iptables-multiport action is now default banaction (file jail.conf, to
+be customized within jail.local). Therefore assure that you have built
+multiport module if you use custom kernel.
+
+If you would like to ban all ports for that host, just redefine
+fwban/fwunban commands to don't have --dport %(port)s statement at
+all, or use shorewall, where actionban bans whole IP.
+
+* Blocking of NEW connections only
+Comment for the wishlist #350746.
+
+It might be benefitial in some cases to ban only new connections. For
+that just use iptables-new action instead of default banaction
+
+/etc/fail2ban/jail.local:
+
+[DEFAULT]
+banaction=iptables-new
+
+(you can override banaction within interesting for you section).
+ Also you can redefine the whole action parameter if you like.
+
+
+* Interaction with ipmasq
+  Comment to #461417
+
+Although fail2ban should detect and recreate missing chains if the external
+command wipes out iptables, it is better to explicitly to force-reload
+fail2ban. For this reason there is examples/ipmasq-ZZZzzz|fail2ban.rul file is
+shipped along to be installed under name ZZZzzz|fail2ban.rul within
+/etc/ipmasq.
+
+* Interaction with logrotate with custom logtarget
+  Comment to #631917
+
+if you use an alternative logtarget (e.g. SYSLOG) thus not using
+/var/log/fail2ban.log you should divert logrotate configuration into
+a disabled state, e.g.
+
+sudo dpkg-divert --rename --divert \
+	 /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban.disabled /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban
+
+
+Troubleshooting:
+---------------
+
+* Updated failregex:
+
+To resolve the security bug #330827 [1] failregex expressions must
+provide a named group (?P<host>...) as a placeholder of the abuser's
+host. Alternative tag (since 0.7.5) can be "<HOST>". The naming of the
+group was introduced to capture possible future generalizations of
+failregex to provide even more information.
+
+[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330827
+
+You might benefit from using fail2ban-regex command shipped along to
+construct and debug your failregex statements.
+
+* "Interpolations" in the config file:
+
+Since version 0.6.0-3 to reduce duplication, thus to improve
+readability of the config file, interpolations provided by the module
+ConfigParser are used. If you had custom sections defined before, you
+might benefit from updating config file and adding appropriate
+information for the new sections.
+
+N.B. If you have some nice additional sections defined, I would really
+appreciate if you share them with me or upstream author, so they could
+be eventually included in the fail2ban package for general use by the
+rest of the community.
+
+
+* Mailing:
+
+Since actions.d/mail*.conf commands rely on presence of "mail"
+command, mailx package (or another package providing mailx
+functionality such as mailutils) is required if those actions are
+activated in jail.{conf,local}.
+
+
+* Dirty exit:
+
+If firewall rules gets cleaned out before fail2ban exits (like was
+happening with firestarter), errors get reported during the exit of
+fail2ban, but they are "safe" and can be ignored.
+
+
+** SSHD Configuration Specific Problems
+
+* Ban "Not allowed" attempts:
+
+Make sure that you have
+ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
+PasswordAuthentication yes
+
+Details from the bug report #350980 [2]
+
+[2]  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350980
+
+
+* Not caught attempts to login as root
+
+On the boxes running older versions of openssh (e.g. sarge
+distribution) in the case when PermitRootLogin is set to something
+else than "yes" and iff AllowUsers is active, failed root logins do
+not confirm to the standard logging message -- they omit the source
+IP, thus allowing attack to persist since such messages are not caught
+by fail2ban.
+
+
+* Bantime:
+
+An IP is banned for "bantime" not since the last failed login attempt
+from the IP, but rather since the moment when failed login was
+detected by fail2ban. Thus, if fail2ban gets [re]started, any IP which
+had enough of failed logins with durations less than "findtime" between
+them prior to the [re]start moment, will be banned for
+"bantime" since [re]start moment, not since the last failed login
+time.
+
+* Findtime:
+
+"Findtime" option of a jail actually defines a duration to reset the
+counter of failed login attempts, if no new attempt was detected within
+that time frame (i.e.  within "findtime").
+
+See
+http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8#Jail_Options
+for more information on jail options.
+
+
+* Syslog entries can be 'forged' by a regular user
+
+From
+http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ_english#What_do_I_have_to_consider_when_using_Fail2ban
+
+Especially on systems wich provide ssh/CGI/PHP services to unknown
+users it is possible to block other users from ssh and probably other
+access as a unprivileged user may issue:
+
+logger -p auth.warning -t 'sshd[123]' 'Illegal user user1 from 1.2.3.4'
+
+N.B. chmod o-x /usr/bin/logger should provide at least obfuscation
+solution
+
+Or the malicious user may write via PHP's openlog()/syslog() to syslog.
+
+P.S. Anyone is welcome to recommend proper security solution to this
+issue, such as an alternative to sysklogd which allows better control
+over users logging to specific facilities (such as AUTH)

+Description: ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors
+ Fail2ban monitors log files (e.g. /var/log/auth.log,
+ /var/log/apache/access.log) and temporarily or persistently bans
+ failure-prone addresses by updating existing firewall rules.  Fail2ban allows
+ easy specification of different actions to be taken such as to ban an
+ IP using iptables or hostsdeny rules, or simply to send a
+ notification email.
+ .
+ By default, it comes with filter expressions for various services
+ (sshd, apache, qmail, proftpd, sasl etc.) but configuration can be
+ easily extended for monitoring any other text file.  All filters and
+ actions are given in the config files, thus fail2ban can be adopted
+ to be used with a variety of files and firewalls.

+Fail2ban normally requires root priviledges to insert iptables rules
+through calls to /sbin/iptables and also to read the logfiles.
+Fail2ban can run as an unpriviledged user provided that those two
+capabilites are preserved. The idea is to run fail2ban as a normal
+user (e.g. fail2ban) who belongs to a group which is allowed to read
+logfiles. The user should also be allowed to write to
+/proc/net/xt_recent/fail2ban-<name> (name is specified in the iptables
+rule).
+
+/proc/net/xt_recent/* is created by the xt_recent kernel module when
+an iptables rule with '-m limit' is inserted. This file contains a
+dynamic list of IP addresses which can than be used in iptables rules.
+Addresses can be matched against this list, with an optional timeout.
+One way to use xt_recent is to insert IPs into this list from an
+iptables rule, e.g. after connecting to the SSH port three times in a
+minute. This is the standard usage described in iptables(3).
+
+Another way to use xt_recent is by inserting the rules by writing to
+/proc/net/xt_recent/fail2ban-<name>. This can be performed by a fail2ban
+action. Files in /proc/net/xt_recent/ are protected by normal
+filesystem rules, so can be chown'ed and chmod'ed to be writable by a
+certain user. After the necessary iptables rules are inserted (which
+requires root priviledges), blacklisting can be perfomed by an
+unpriviledged user.
+
+Using fail2ban with xt_recent allows smarter filtering than normal
+iptables rules with the xt_recent module can provide.
+
+The disadvantage is that fail2ban cannot perform the setup by itself,
+which would require the priviledge to call /sbin/iptables, and it must
+be done through other means.
+
+The primary advantage is obvious: it's generally better to run
+services not as root. This setup is more robust, because xt_recent has
+it's own memory management and should behave smartly in case a very
+large amount of IPs is blocked. Also in case the fail2ban process dies
+the rules expire automatically. In case of a large amount of blocked
+IPs, traversing rules linearly for each SYN packet as fail2ban
+normally inserts them will be slow, but xt_recent with the same number
+of IPs would be much faster. (Didn't test this, so this is pure
+handwaving, but it should really be this way ;)) From the
+administrators point of view, a setup with xt_recent might also be
+easier, because it's very simple to modify the permissions on
+/proc/net/xt_recent/fail2ban-<name> to be readable or writable by
+some user and thus allow delisting IPs by helper administrators
+without the ability to mess up other iptables rules.
+
+The xt_recent-echo jail can be used under the root user without
+further configuration. To run not as root, futher setup is necessary:
+
+- Create user:
+
+  - set FAIL2BAN_USER in /etc/default/fail2ban.
+
+    This probably should be fail2ban.
+
+  - add user fail2ban who can read /var/log/auth.log and other
+    necessary log files. Log files are owned by group 'adm', so
+    it is enough if this user belongs to this group.
+
+    The user can be created e.g. with
+
+     useradd --system --no-create-home --home-dir / --groups adm fail2ban
+
+- Statically initialize chains firewall:
+
+  - put a rule to check the xt_recent list in the static firewall initialization
+    script, with names like fail2ban-ssh (action uses separate chains per each
+    jail, so define here the ones you need 1-per-jail)
+
+    Sample invocation might be
+
+     iptables -I INPUT -m recent --update --seconds 3600 --name fail2ban-<name> -j DROP
+
+    with <name> suitably replaced.
+
+  - suppress actionstart for iptables-xt_recent-echo action by creating an override file
+    iptables-xt_recent-echo.local to accompany iptables-xt_recent-echo.conf with
+
+     [Definition]
+     actionstart =
+
+- Permissions:
+
+  make sure that configuration files under /etc/fail2ban are readable by
+  fail2ban user. Make sure that logfiles of fail2ban itself are writable
+  by the fail2ban user. /etc/init.d/fail2ban will change the ownership at
+  startup, but it is also necessary to modify /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban.
+
+  The simplest way is to replace '# create ...' with the following
+    # create 640 fail2ban adm
+
