I used to use CSF with cPanel and there was an option with the CSF plug-in to run a security scan. It would give a score and list suggestions on improvements.

Is this same feature available from the command line (as I no longer use cPanel) ? - I've had a look through the documentation and couldn't find it, but I may have overlooked the details.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

I'm also experiencing this issue, although this is my own server in my own datacenter.

Installed minimal install of CentOS 6.5, then continued by installing OpenVZ. Created a container, installed cPanel, followed by csf. All default settings, no changes. Tried this on 2 separate servers, both with the same result. All that I changed was disabling testing mode.

CSF does work, but blocks ALL...

Hi,
there is an issue with CONNLIMIT and PS_LIMIT.

I have set:
CONNLIMIT = 80;20,2095;10

and under PORT SCAN TRACKING:
PS_LIMIT = 10

But blocks for CONNLIMIT are done at 10 and not at 20 on port 80 as specified, this is what LFD reports:

This really needs to be addressed here.
It appears that there is absolutely no reference to LF_MODSEC_PERM in code at all.
One would expect (rightly so) that if an option is set (LF_MODSEC_PERM) it would be utilized properly, but not so much here.

There needs to be a way to temporarily ban these individuals, without actually banning them entirely.

LF_PERMBLOCK is set to 0 as well, so the...

Hi,
First of all: let me thank the developers of CSF for their excellent product.
I use CSF/LFD to allow only certain countries to have access to my IP (website and all other actions)
I would love to have a (custom) message to show all other visitors.
Is that a standard function in CSF/LFD or do I have to develop it myself?
Thank you and best regards. :D

I have several VPS's and even a dedicated server all working fine with CSF. Some with Webmin, some with DA.

I have one VPS though without CSF. In the past I installed CSF on it but it was'nt working. After working with CSF for some time now I decided to try again.

Unfortunately after disabling testing mode the VPS frooze (locked up). With the help of the service desk I regained control again...

We have just received a brand new server from singlehop, and when attempting to install CSF etc, we apparently are blocked by the configserver's actual firewall. Our IP range includes 198.20.70.XXX

I have had to edit my evidence below due to:
You are not currently authorized to post url links, please remove or rename:

The IP's have been changed to dummy IP's but what I have going on is the following.

I have a cpanel server 10.10.10.10 and a web site builder server at 9.9.9.9. The site builder software compiles the web site on 9.9.9.9 and then FTP's it to 10.10.10.10. I have explicitly allowed 9.9.9.9 via csf -a 9.9.9.9 on the cpanel server. However I noticed when publishing some of the ftp activity works but...

Hello,

It seems every time CSF upgrades to the latest version csfpre .sh is not run after the upgrade when csf restarts.

I have some extra rules and have to manually restart the firewall after an upgrade to re-enable these rules. This happens on 2 systems with Centos 5.10 (+ cPanel VPS) & Centos 6.5 (+ cPanel DNS only).

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I'm starting make a rule to csf block ips of fail on asterisk SIP user login.

This is line of log:

NOTICE chan_sip.c: Registration from ' 8260 ' failed for '2.2.2.2:5075' - No matching peer found

111.111.111.111 is asterisk server ip
2.2.2.2 is a source of attack ip

log file: /var/log/asterisk/full

I create this regex, but on my testes not work?

if (($lgfile eq $config{CUSTOM3_LOG})...

I had a maxed out csf.deny

if I then do

csf -d 1.2.3.4/24

it will happily remove do not delete lines

there were clearly other lines available to delete in the csf.deny

mostly auto NETBLOCK and PERMBLOCK, but they were left untouched
