banIP - ban incoming and/or outgoing ip adresses via ipsets

Description

IP address blocking is commonly used to protect against brute force attacks, prevent disruptive or unauthorized address(es) from access or it can be used to restrict access to or from a particular geographic area — for example.

Main Features

  • Support of the following fully pre-configured domain blocklist sources (free for private usage, for commercial use please check their individual licenses)

  • zero-conf like automatic installation & setup, usually no manual changes needed
  • automatically selects one of the following download utilities: aria2c, curl, uclient-fetch, wget
  • Really fast downloads & list processing as they are handled in parallel as background jobs in a configurable 'Download Queue'
  • full IPv4 and IPv6 support
  • ipsets (one per source) are used to ban a large number of IP addresses
  • supports blocking by ASN numbers
  • supports blocking by iso country codes
  • supports local white & blacklist (IPv4, IPv6 & CIDR notation), located by default in /etc/banip/banip.whitelist and /etc/banip/banip.blacklist
  • auto-add unsuccessful LuCI and ssh login attempts via 'dropbear' or 'sshd' to local blacklist (see 'ban_autoblacklist' option)
  • auto-add the uplink subnet to local whitelist (see 'ban_autowhitelist' option)
  • provides a small background log monitor to ban unsuccessful login attempts in real-time
  • per source configuration of SRC (incoming) and DST (outgoing)
  • integrated IPSet-Lookup
  • integrated RIPE-Lookup
  • blocklist source parsing by fast & flexible regex rulesets
  • minimal status & error logging to syslog, enable debug logging to receive more output
  • procd based init system support (start/stop/restart/reload/refresh/status)
  • procd network interface trigger support
  • automatic blocklist backup & restore, they will be used in case of download errors or during startup
  • Provides comprehensive runtime information
  • Provides a detailed IPSet Report
  • Provides a powerful query function to quickly find blocked IPs/CIDR in banIP related IPSets
  • Provides an easily configurable blocklist update scheduler called 'Refresh Timer'
  • strong LuCI support
  • optional: add new banIP sources on your own

Prerequisites

  • OpenWrt, tested with the stable release series (19.07.x) and with the latest rolling snapshot releases. On turris devices it has been successfully tested with TurrisOS 5.2.x
    Please note: Older OpenWrt releases like 18.06.x or 17.01.x are not supported!
    Please note: Devices with less than 128 MByte RAM are not supported!
    Please note: If you're updating from former banIP 0.3x please manually remove your config (/etc/config/banip) before you start!
  • A download utility with SSL support: 'wget', 'uclient-fetch' with one of the 'libustream-*' ssl libraries, 'aria2c' or 'curl' is required
  • A certificate store like 'ca-bundle', as banIP checks the validity of the SSL certificates of all download sites by default
  • Optional E-Mail notification support: for E-Mail notifications you need to install the additional 'msmtp' package

Installation & Usage

  • Update your local opkg repository (opkg update)
  • Install 'banip' (opkg install banip). The banIP service is disabled by default
  • Install the LuCI companion package 'luci-app-banip' (opkg install luci-app-banip)
  • It's strongly recommended to use the LuCI frontend to easily configure all aspects of banIP, the application is located in LuCI under the 'Services' menu

banIP CLI

  • All important banIP functions are accessible via CLI as well.

~# /etc/init.d/banip 
Syntax: /etc/init.d/banip [command]

	enable          Enable service autostart
	disable         Disable service autostart
	enabled         Check if service is started on boot
	refresh         Refresh ipsets without new list downloads

Enable E-Mail notification via 'msmtp':
To use the email notification you have to install & configure the package 'msmtp'.
Modify the file '/etc/msmtprc', e.g.:


[...]
defaults
auth            on
tls             on
tls_certcheck   off
timeout         5
syslog          LOG_MAIL
[...]
account         ban_notify
host            smtp.gmail.com
port            587
from            k@gmail.com
user            
password        

Finally enable E-Mail support and add a valid E-Mail receiver address in LuCI.

Edit, add new banIP sources:
The banIP blocklist sources are stored in an external, compressed JSON file '/etc/banip/banip.sources.gz'. This file is directly parsed in LuCI and accessible via CLI, just call /etc/init.d/banip list.

To add new or edit existing sources extract the compressed JSON file gunzip /etc/banip/banip.sources.gz.
A valid JSON source object contains the following required information, e.g.:


	[...]
	"tor": {
		"url_4": "https://lists.fissionrelays.net/tor/exits-ipv4.txt",
		"url_6": "https://lists.fissionrelays.net/tor/exits-ipv6.txt",
		"rule_4": "/^(([0-9]{1,3}\\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])(\\/(1?[0-9]|2?[0-9]|3?[0-2]))?)([[:space:]]|$)/{print \"add tor_4 \"$1}",
		"rule_6": "/^(([0-9A-f]{0,4}:){1,7}[0-9A-f]{0,4}:?(\\/(1?[0-2][0-8]|[0-9][0-9]))?)([[:space:]]|$)/{print \"add tor_6 \"$1}",
		"focus": "Tor exit nodes",
		"descurl": "https://fissionrelays.net/lists"
	},
	[...]

Add an unique object name, make the required changes to 'url_4', 'rule_4' (and/or 'url_6', 'rule_6'), 'focus' and 'descurl' and finally compress the changed JSON file gzip /etc/banip/banip.sources.gz to use the new source object in banIP.
Please note: if you're going to add new sources on your own, please make a copy of the default file and work with that copy further on, cause the default will be overwritten with every banIP update. To reference your copy set the option 'ban_srcarc' which points by default to '/etc/banip/banip.sources.gz'

Removal

  • stop all banIP related services with /etc/init.d/banip stop
  • optional: remove the banip package (opkg remove banip)

Have fun!
