I have two scripts that I've been working on ready for some feedback if anyone is interested.
The first is called bearDropper, and is essentially a minimal, lightweight dropbear (ssh) log examiner that blocks ssh brute force attacks. It hooks itself into iptables, is very configurable using uci and/or command line options. The goal was to make it simple to use but very reliable and configurable - let me know if you think I succeeded. It started as a rewrite of dropBrute, but has many other features:
Written in busybox ash with no dependencies outside of stock Chaos Calmer
Maintains a state database, periodically writes it to tmpfs and (optionally) persistent storage
Persistent storage writes are throttled (default once a day) and are disabled by default
Periodically syncs the state database to a dedicated iptables chain
Periodically expires entries from the iptables chain
Self installs into iptables (default hook is into input_wan_rule) - easily disabled or modified in config
Uses native uci config, and runs via a procd init script (continuous run)
For those who like options, it can also run in a few single-run (non-continuous) modes, examining the entire syslog ring buffer, just today's entries (like dropBrute), or even arbitrary intervals.
The second is called sub2rbl, and it's a very simple, lightweight script to retrieve RBLs, compile them into an ipset and automatically hook into iptables with a firewall rule (default in input_wan_rule). It also uses uci (/etc/config/sub2rbl), with command line overrides. Dependencies are ipset, curl and openssl-util (to retrieve RBLs via https).
Supports IP based and CIDR (net) based RBLs
Default config uses OpenBL, blocklist.de, Dragon Research and SpamHaus DROP/EDROP RBLs
Whitelist support based on a uci config list (see config file for details)
Simple installation, see the github project page for instructions
I'm looking forward to hearing some feedback (and bug reports)
