Not meaning to cause a ruckus here but did you mean -add-set as part of ipset not iptables? or am I confused? :confused:
Click to expand...

Confused...but I would say that wouldn't I ?? :p

Code: 
iptables -j SET -h

iptables v1.4.14

<snip>

SET target options:
 --add-set name flags
 --del-set name flags
  add/del src/dst IP/port from/to named sets,
  where flags are the comma separated list of
  'src' and 'dst' specifications.

I believe if the same command is issued on say RT-N66U etc., then iptables v1.3.8 will describe the '-j SET --add-set' in the help, but the command doesn't actually run, so the Blacklist IPSET cannot be automatically populated by the firewall rule.

Interesting, when I run that command on my RT-N66U I do not get any "SET target options" listed. Hence my confusion...

But, when run on either my RT-AC87R or RT-AC3100 I do...

Must be the 2 different versions of iptables.

I have updated my OP https://www.snbforums.com/threads/h...et-firewall-addition.16798/page-7#post-312136

There are slight functional differences in my version vs. @Adamm's i.e. Malware blocking is not included - I'll leave that to your supported Malware script(s)

The main difference is that my script exploits the IPSET v6.3 feature which allows the user to specify how long the Blacklist entries remain in the IPSET before they expire.

e.g passing the 'init' arg in the firewall-start script will instigate a search for a '.config' file to reload a previous populated Blacklist IPSET
Code: 
/jffs/scripts/IPSET_Block.sh init

however, if the following syntax is used:
Code: 
/jffs/scripts/IPSET_Block.sh init [full [hh:mm:ss]]

e.g.

IPSET_Block.sh init full 24:00:00

then when the Blacklist IPSET is created the member entries will expire after 24 hrs.
(The default hard-coded in the script is 168:00:00 hrs = 7 days)

e.g. You can see how much longer (until its timeout values reaches 0) each entry will remain in the IPSET based on its initial 86400 seconds value:
Code: 
ipset list Blacklist

Name: Blacklist
Type: hash:ip
Revision: 0
Header: family inet hashsize 4096 maxelem 65536 timeout 86400
Size in memory: 187832
References: 1
Members:
190.85.182.61 timeout 45111
118.101.215.238 timeout 44722
120.197.100.106 timeout 45112
<snip>

Also, I don't remove the DROP messages from Syslog, because I have a supplementary script that reports on the Blacklist entries:
Code: 
./HackerPorts.sh

(HackerPorts.sh): 8647 Syslog Hacker report starting.....
(HackerPorts.sh): 8647 Hacker report created '/tmp/mnt/RT-AC68U/HackerReport.txt' (Total Ports attacked: 218)

I see another difference, my N66 is running @RMerlin firmware and yours is running @john9527 firmware.

YES....unless the source IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is in the Whitelist IPSET (v3.xx) or both the source address and FTP port 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,21' is in the WhitelistSRCPort IPSET (v4.xx)

e.g. a few days ago, Port 21 was in the top 3 most attacked ports!

Well I "never"....most observant of you! ;) ...but it doesn't help the OP who is trying to run the script on his RT-AC66U.
 
Hi,

I got below error and search about it but didn't found the solution.
Code: 
(HackerPorts.sh): 5968 v2.01 Hacker Port attacks Report starting.....
***ERROR Tracking not enabled? - check 'IPSET_Block.sh init' was started
Even I have restarted the router, even I have below lines in firewall:
Code: 
ps w | grep -v grep | grep /jffs/scripts/IPSET_Block.sh || sh /jffs/scripts/IPSET_Block.sh init nolog
ps w | grep -v grep | grep /jffs/scripts/HackerPorts.sh || sh /jffs/scripts/HackerPorts.sh
I saw $TRACKING variable in the HackerPorts.sh script but do not know what to do. Please, do I have enabled Logged packets from Firmware GUI?

Many thanks in advance!

FFS READ THE ERROR MESSAGE :mad:

You have 'nolog' specified which means you explicitly don't want the IPSET_Block.sh script to generate any tracking 'Block IN=' messages written to Syslog!!!!!!!

So as it says in the help if you bothered to read it, if there are no tracking messages in Syslog the report will be empty so the script aborts the pointless exercise.

And also where in the help does it state that you need to call HackerPorts.sh from firewall-start ?? :rolleyes:

Thank you. Sorry for my superficiality.

Now, I do not know how to say :(, I search in help and in thread because I got below error
Code: 
root@rooter:/jffs/scripts# ./HackerPorts.sh
(HackerPorts.sh): 30490 v2.01 Hacker Port attacks Report starting.....
./HackerPorts.sh: line 184: May: not found
Could you please advice?
Thank you again!
Edit: please ignore this post. I pasted again the HackerPorts.sh from here https://pastebin.com/raw/LRHJih8Z and now the error disappeared.

OK...so which version of the script are you now running?

<sigh> I know the location for the download.

Please answer the question and show me the output when the HackerPorts.sh script runs as it will show either v2.01 or v2.02

Thank you for taking the time to provide the feedback.

Unfortunately if the first download was indeed corrupt, then I simply panicked assuming that extracting the timestamp of the first and last record from Syslog was failing.

No matter, v2.02 is now the latest official version available for download so if anyone already downloaded v2.01 then there is no compelling reason to upgrade! :D

Try starting IPSET_Block.sh manually:
Code: 
cd /jffs/scripts
./IPSET_Block.sh   init   reset

Can you please provide the output from these 4 commands:
Code: 
iptables --line -nvL Blacklist

iptables --line -nvL logdrop

iptables --line -nvL INPUT | grep Blacklist

nvram get wan0_ifname

Do you get any data when you issue the following command: ?
Code: 
grep -E "[DROP IN=|Block IN=]$(nvram get wan0_ifname)" /tmp/syslog.log

You don't have the init option when running the script. To run the script as intended, place this in /jffs/firewall-start and reboot the router:

Code: 
/jffs/scripts/IPSET_Block.sh init nolog

For the /jffs/scripts/HackerPorts.sh to work and report output, you need to remove the nolog option.
