Fail2map

Fail2map is a map generator for fail2ban. It displays banned IP on a world map. Adding IP is done automagically through a fail2ban action.

Fail2map is based on backpack by Maxime Hadjinlian.

Try the example.

Installing fail2map and fail2ban action

1. Place fail2map in the desired path of your web server

    git clone https://github.com/mvonthron/fail2map ~/public_html/fail2map
   

2. Edit fail2map-action.conf with the correct path for fail2map.py

    fail2map-action.conf:20     fail2map = cd /home/<USER>/public_html/fail2map && python fail2map.py
   

3. Move/copy/link fail2map-action.conf to fail2ban actions folder (usually /etc/fail2ban/action.d/)

4. Add the action to your jail.conf or jail.local

    # The simplest action to take: ban only
    action_ = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s, port="%(port)s", protocol="%(protocol)s", chain="%(chain)s"]
              fail2map-action
   

5. (Optional) Change the tile provider in js/maps.js line 45:

    baseLayer = L.tileLayer.provider('Thunderforest.Landscape', ...
                                        ^= select any provider listed at http://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/ 
   

Notes

• OpenStreetMap tiles providers list by https://github.com/leaflet-extras/leaflet-providers
• Map API from leaflet
• IP geolocation is provided by Telize. It's free, but not very accurate. If you want to achieve high precision, you may want a paid account at maxmind.com and change GEOIP_API in fail2map.py.
