外掛說明

WP Fail2Ban Redux records various WordPress events to your server’s system log for integration with Fail2Ban.

This plugin is (mostly) a drop-in replacement for WP fail2ban by Charles Lecklider.

While WP fail2ban is a great plugin, there are a number of improvements that could be made. In order to facilitate these improvements, a major refactoring of the codebase was necessary.

The core functionality between WP Fail2Ban Redux and WP fail2ban remains the same. WP Fail2Ban Redux is considered to be mostly a drop-in replacement, because all constants have been replaced with filters, and will, possibly, require some upgrade work. Don’t work it’s as simple as implementing the constants.

The following events are recorded by default:

Failed XML-RPC authentication attempts.
Successful authentication attempts.
Failed authentication attempts — differentiated by a user’s existence.
Pingback errors.

The following events can be enabled via filter:

Pingback requests.
Blocked user enumeration attempts.
Authentication attempts for blocked usernames.
Spammed comments.

Extra documentation is available on the WP Fail2Ban Redux GitHub Wiki.

安裝方式

Upload the plugin to your plugins directory.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Copy the config/filters/wordpress-hard.conf and config/filters/wordpress-soft.conf files to your Fail2Ban filters directory (generally /etc/fail2ban/filters.d).
Copy the config/jail/wordpress.conf file to your Fail2Ban jail directory (generally /etc/fail2ban/jail.d), or append it’s contents to your jail.local file. Make sure you read the notes in this file to aid successful setup.
Reload or restart Fail2Ban.

常見問題集

How do I upgrade from WP fail2ban?

If you haven’t set any of the WP fail2ban constants, you don’t need to do anything. If you have set some of the constants, view the upgrade instructions.

Will the `wordpress-hard.conf` and `wordpress-soft.conf` filters still work?

Yes! All of the improvements made in WP Fail2Ban Redux were done in a way that would allow existing functionality to work without changes to your filters. However, the demo filters included with the plugin do contain some recommended changes. There are also new features not found in WP fail2ban that will require changes to your filters to be effective. These changes are linked, by filter, below:
wordpress-hard.conf
wordpress-soft.conf

Be ye forewarned: Future changes to WP fail2ban may break backwards compatibility with WP Fail2Ban Redux filters. No attempts will be made to fix this. So, even though it’s not required, it is probably a good idea to update the filters anyway.

Can I use this as a must-use plugin in the `mu-plugins` folder?

As of version 0.5.0, yes! Download the plugin, and unzip. Inside the plugin folder will be another folder named wp-fail2ban-redux and wp-fail2ban-redux.php. Upload this folder and file to the mu-plugins directory of your site.

How do you I use this plugin if my site is behind a proxy, like Cloudflare?

You need to add some code to your wp-config.php file. See the below links for guidance.

I really like the way it doesn’t prompt me to upgrade to a version with paid features.

no premium/freemium blocklist scam, just does what its supposed to do. supereasy to install, no configuration within wordpress needed! just install the plugin and setup fail2ban using the provided config files (filters, jail) love it. thanks!

Easy, effective, no unnecessary control panel, no premium parts, no boring messages, it just do the work! Having fail2ban already configured in the server, I installed it on a bunch of WP sites. Locking repetitive attackers, it saves some server resources peaks. Really thanks for the plugin.

This plugin is underrated and is a must have for wordpress security.

Could not be simpler to use this plugin. The original plugin that this one replaces was just awful to set up with the free version. This on is just to install and activate, then make sure you have the apache-auth filter active in your Fail2Ban configuration. Thanks!!

I use this plugin on my wordpress installations and all failed logins are reliably logged to the auth.log of the server. Even though the plugin has not yet been tested with WordPress 5.4.1, it is working good for me.

0.5.0

Release date: 2018-10-27
Add better support for use as a must-use plugin in the mu-plugins directory.

0.4.0

Release date: 2018-01-15
Bumped the minimum required WordPress version to 4.5.
Bumped the minimum required PHP version to 5.3. This is a soft bump, meaning, nothing changed that will break PHP 5.2 compatability. However, this could easily change in the future, and PHP 5.2 is no longer actively tested.
Renamed the wp_fail2ban_redux_openlog_indent filter to wp_fail2ban_redux_openlog_ident, because… it was misspelled.

Refactored plugin loading.
You can now create your own, custom, logging class, in case you don’t want to use the standard syslog() output.

Fix a stupid syntax error in the comment spam filter 🙁 Thanks to @ichtarzan for reporting!

0.2.0

Release date: 2016-09-27
Fixed PHP notices where WP_Fail2Ban_Redux::comment_spam expects two parameters. Decided it was probably a good idea to oblige.
User enumeration blocking now checks for both the author and author_name parameters. The author_name parameter could be used to validate the existence of a particular username, so blocking on this parameter as well will further reduce the attack surface.
Fixes an issue where user enumeration blocking was overzealous and would prevent actions in the admin area. Props pjv. #2
WP_Fail2Ban_Redux::redirect_canonical is now deprecated. If you were doing anything with this function, or the hook that initialized it, you should look at WP_Fail2Ban_Redux::user_enumeration instead.
Added a note to wordpress.conf about the logpath parameter, and common auth log locations. There is no need to changed existing configurations. This is merely to aid setup for future users.

0.1.1

Release date: 2016-07-23
In PHP < 7.0, exit isn’t allowed as a method name. WP_Fail2Ban_Redux_Log::exit is now WP_Fail2Ban_Redux_Log::_exit.

0.1.0

Release date: 2016-07-13
Initial release.
