Hello,
Is it possible to build an input rule that will add-src-address of any ip that attempts a ssh,telnet or ftp connecton and fails 3 times within X number of seconds?
What I want to do is setup a target machine that will allow these hack attempts then add the addresses to an access list and block them from my entire network. No hack attempts, no spam, no nothing!!!
Any ideas?
Jeff
daiceman, I suppose, you can not implement this exactly in described way.
- To get rid of unauthorized access, allow access to the router only for trusted hosts (or for trusted hosts from public networks and for local hosts).
- Modify 'ip service', there are options to set different port for certain services or 'address' option.

I already do this. Thank you.daiceman, I suppose, you can not implement this exactly in described way.

What I was hoping for was to have a MT box that would have everything open and then create rules when it was attacked so that I could add firewall rules to my core firewall to block ANY traffic from the bad_people into my network. If I have say a firewall rule that only permits ssh into my network from IP's that I allow, that does not stop denied IP's from sending me spam and trying to FTP to my servers.
Guess I will look elsewhere.
Thanks
you can do that way:
on accessing router to ssh port add user to 1st_try group in /ip firewall address-list with timeout of 10 minutes, then if there is another connection from that ip to that port add to 2nd_try address-list with timeout of, say, 20 minutes and after 3rd try in timout time you drop all the connections permanetly
if you try to login by yourself you have to login for the first time or you will get banned
drawback - you count login tries succesful+unsuccesful and thats bad

Alternatively, you can set the ssh, telnet, and www ports to something different than default in /ip service. As mentioned, you could end up blocking yourself. As a side note, alot of these ssh scans originate from compromised linux servers and you may only ever see them try to login one day. So, you might be blocking a lot of addresses that may never hit your router again.
