In /etc/csf.allow, if I want to enable an IPv6 address for a specific port, is the syntax the same, i.e.:

tcp:in:d=22:s=2601:589:4600:3f05::/64

It does not seem to allow the IPv6 address. Is there a different syntax for allowing IPv6 for a specific port/source address? Thanks.

Hello everyone!

Im having trouble keeping custom configurations in our CSF installation. We are running WHM build 39, and csf v10.09 (just updated)

The problem occurs after this lfd log output:

May 26 00:00:03 hos lfd : TERM
May 26 00:00:03 hos lfd : daemon stopped
May 26 00:00:07 hos lfd : daemon started on - csf v10.08 (cPanel)

After that restart, no custom settings remain in csf.conf, and...

Hi all,

I've been getting numerous suspicious process alerts each day, listing /usr/bin/php as the suspicious process but no actual process beyond that. I'm not sure if this is a false positive or not - and even if it is I don't know how to block it because it doesn't seem wise to ignore everything under php.

Can anyone help interpret this? I've searched high and low in this and other forums...

Hi there,

I'm trying custom regex to prevent Joomla Brutefoce login base on Wordpress Bruteforce login.
But it's not working. Somebody help me where i'm wrong ?
This is my regex

# joomla
if (($globlogs{CUSTOM1_LOG}{$lgfile}) and ($line =~ /(\S+).*] POST \/administrator\/index\.php.* 200/)) {
return ( Failed Joomla login from ,$1, joomla , 2 , 80,443 , 3600 );
}

What's the easiest way to block all SMTP traffic from a centos server (with cPanel) and CSF installed?

I'm wanting to test a transferred site on a new server and don't want emails to be sent whilst it's being tested.

Can I set LF_ALERT_TO to multiple email addresses? If so, what is the format?

Hello CSF

I installed your wonderful plugin on Tuesday of this week.

Since then I've received 539 emails from LFD saying:

lfd on mail.myserver.tld: Suspicious process running under user myusername

Its found the same files for each domain on my server and they seem to be files from WordFence

Here follows the email:

Hello,
I want to know that geoip database is on auto update or I need to update it manually?
If I need to update it manually, how should I do that? (please explain it briefly)
Thanks

My VPS (CentOS6 with CWP) logs failed logins in /var/log/dovecot-info.log:

May 05 15:20:13 pop3-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user= , method=PLAIN, rip=IP, lip=IP
but they are not blocked by CSF.

I've added this custom regex but still doesn't block them:
if (($lgfile eq $config{CUSTOM3_LOG}) and ($line =~ /^\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+ pop3\-login.*auth failed.*rip\=(\S+)/)) {...

One of my client's IP is not included in csf.deny list, however they cannot still access the server.

When I csf -g 173.xxx.xxx.xx , it returns this result:

Hello, we recently installed cPanel on the new server and then deployed the CSF with LDF.
After this we started to receive the following email:

Hi,

It looks like that default logs path for e.g. modsecurity is not correct. Can I use?

MODSEC_LOG = /var/log/virtualmin/*.error.log

Also many paths under /etc/csf/csf.pignore are not correct for virtualmin. Could you please add separate config for virtualmin?

Thanks,

I am trying to understand what the Exceeded number below actually means. I am assuming that it means the process has run for 219,000 seconds, which exceeds the threshold of 1800.

Isn't it a good thing that MySQL is running all the time.

So what does the code expect that monitors process time? I guess the logic is if something runs for more than 1800 seconds, it's run too long. It seems that,...

My LFD web UI was working fine. I clicked disable firewall and it stopped responding. I then enabled the firewall with csf -e as root, and the firewall was enabled (apparently)... but now I get connection refused when I try to connect to the LFD web UI. I've tried rebooting the machine and I get the same problem. I tried connecting from localhost and it still gives me connection refused . There...

Hi,

EDIT: OS is CentOS 7 / CSF Version 10.06

How can I test if custom regex is firing or working?

CUSTOM1_LOG is set as /var/log/maillog

I have this in regex.custom.pm
if (($globlogs{CUSTOM1_LOG} {$lgfile}) and ($line =~ /^\S+\s+\d+\s+\S+ \S+ postfix\/smtpd\ : warning:.*\ : SASL *? authentication failed/)) {
return ( Failed SASL login from ,$1, mysaslmatch , 3 , 25 , 3600 );
}

Sample log...

There is an ongoing 404 been logged in the error_log file. This come from different ip at every hour.
May i know does CSF include feature that deal with this kind of attack?

I'm trying to synchronize LFD with Cloudflare using these scripts:

It's working as far as the BLOCK_REPORT goes but it doesn't appear that UNBLOCK_REPORT is being triggered. Even if the script is failing should it at least be logged that it was triggered? Here is the LFD log:

Can not run CSF I either get page error 500 or a completely blank page.

I have found when logged in through SSH, using top, CSF will be running, even though prior to that only iptables was visible as a running process, not csf/lfd. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. csf/lfd will run initially but within a half hour to 45 minutes it will be stopped and iptables will be running...

Recently I started getting email alerts from LFD about excessive resource usage caused by my sftp server connection.

I hadn't made any changes, and put off modifying the csf.pignore file for a couple of months.

Today I checked the csf.pignore file, and there is already an entry for

exe:/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

Looking at the alerts it looks like I need to add wildcarded virtfs...

Hey,

Since the update to v10 cluster restarts fail for every member. I run csf -crs or csf --crestart and get:

All other cluster methods that we use regularly work, like --cping, --cfile, and individual bans with -cd
