[pfSense] SSH Bruteforce

[Daniel]

Hi there,



anyone now how to prevent SSH Bruteforce attackes in my network?

I wanted to have a Firewall which counts SSH Connections from the same IP and when it reach the defined limit the IP will be block.



I know I can change the SSH port but I also want to know is there is an option to limit such kind of attacks.



Cheers



Daniel

Hi, at least Pfesnse version is 2.1.4 to view the table sshlockout, menu
"Diagnostics-> Tables-> sshlockout"

From CLI

To view sshlockout table:
pfctl -t sshlockout -T show

To delete from sshlockout table ip address 192.168.1.122:
pfctl -t sshlockout -T delete 192.168.1.122


The number of attempts to ssh access before being added to the table
"sshlockout" is set in the file "/etc/inc/system.inc" ( with
/usr/local/sbin/sshlockout_pf 15 command )

*snipped*

So what you're after is a connection rate limiter?

Take a look at the "Advanced Options" when you create a firewall rule.
What you're after is probably "Max. src. conn. Rate" and "Max. src.
conn. Rates"

Lockdown access to only “allowed” jump boxes . That way every ssh connections are blocked immediately , and only permitted boxes are allowed .

Watz.

[Nikos Zaharioudakis]

A good general idea is to

a) allow only key based authentication on ssh
b) limit the connections rate per host

I think you're looking for the Suricata or Snort packages for detecting malicious traffic at pfSense.

Add these to your NAT created firewall rule or other rule in Advanced and just walk away.
