It won't scan that line as it's not an IP address. lfd doesn't do DNS lookups on domain names.

It seems this problem hasn't got fixed. I have enabled FTP login failure detection but LFD still doesn't block them:

root@lamnk:/var/log# grep vsftpd /var/log/secure

It was resolved. What you have posted is a completely different log line format. If you want to detect it, you'll need to construct a custom regex in regex.custom.pm

Thank you chirpy !

Could you please have a look at the regex i added (stolen from your vsftpd line in regex.pm)?

Code: Select all

if (($config{LF_FTPD}) and ($lgfile eq $config{FTPD_LOG}) and ($line =~ /^\w+ \d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} (\S+) vsftpd: pam_unix\(vsftpd:auth\): authentication failure; logname=\S*\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+ruser=(\S*)\s+rhost=(\S+)\s+/)) {
        $host = $1; $ip = $2; $acc = $3; $ip =~ s/^::ffff://;
        if (&checkip($ip)) {
                return ("Failed FTP login on", $host, "from",$ip, " | ", $acc,"vsftpd")
        } else {
                return
        }
}
