# blockauth
Tool that blocks IPs that make ssh connection attempts by reading the auth.log file (rsyslog).
## Dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian):
```
sudo apt install iptables rsyslog grep sed
```
## How to install blockauth:
```
git clone https://gitlab.com/q3aql/blockauth.git
cd blockauth
sudo ./install.sh
```
## How to unninstall blockauth:
```
git clone https://gitlab.com/q3aql/blockauth.git
cd blockauth
sudo ./unninstall.sh
```
## How to run service:
* First, edit the file `/etc/blockauth/blockauth.conf`:
```shell
# Blockauth configuration file
valid_users="test1 test2"
always_ip_allowed="192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2"
blocklist="/etc/blockauth/blocklist.list"
filelog="/etc/blockauth/blockauth.log"
````
* Add the service to the system startup and start it:
```shell
systemctl enable blockauth
systemctl start blockauth
````
* IPs using one of the users in `valid_users` variable will never be blocked.
* IPs of `always_ip_allowed` variable will never be blocked.
