  1. CW: unbearable lightness of networking

    I restarted #foomuuri, it kept logging that it was banning addresses - on and on and on, one or two per second. All of them in the ssh jail. I've not really set it up well, just out-of-the box settings. I don't run a homneypot, nor a bank. It's just me, some photos and the bullshit I do for work.
    I wonder how many devices are out there trying standard passwords all day, every day?
    People; get a hobby, go outside. Anything that is as neutrally harmless as you can manage. Anything.
    Frinstance, today I looked at some wrens and a pair of eagles, and picked up some rubbish and put it in the bin. No-one was harmed.

    Trying ssh credentials? #yeahnah.

  2. On the weekend, I switched on a #foomuuri #nftables firewall.

    I have been using #shorewall for so long that it is in my fingers.

    Foomuuri is likeable and capable. I am finding my way around her peculiarities. Definitely stepping forward into it rather than falling back on my comfortable habits.

  3. Apache optimization and mitigating DoS and DDoS attacks

    Denial-of-service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks are some of the most common cyberattacks these days. They are fairly easy to execute and the consequences can vary from annoying to very problematic, for example if a crucial web service of a company or public service becomes inaccessible. In the current geopolitical situation DDoS attacks are a very popular method used by […]

  4. Ich schätze, ich muss mich bei meinen Servern wohl langsam von Shorewall trennen. Als Host Firewall ist Shorewall für mich immer unschlagbar gewesen, aber da die leider nicht mehr weiter entwickelt wird und ich gerne auf nftabels umsteigen würde, ist ein adäquater Ersatz gefragt. UFW ist mir etwas zu wenig und umständlich, Firewalld mag ich nicht.

    Zufällig bin ich auf ein relativ neues Projekt namens "foomuuri" gestoßen, dass zumindest vom Lesen her recht interessant klingt.

  5. Protecting your server from known bad IPs with Foomuuri iplists

    On the Internet we can find (usually crowdsourced) lists of malicious IP addresses responsible for attacks. We can easily integrate them in Foomuuri in order to block connections from these bad hosts. Not only does this improve security, it is also a performance win, because our daemons don’t don’t have to waste any more time dealing with these malicious connections.

    The […]

  6. Setting up Foomuuri, an nftables based firewall

    Up to now I have always been using the Shorewall firewall on all my Linux systems. I find it very easy to configure while at the same time it’s very powerful and flexible so that you can also use it with more complicated set-ups, such as routers with multiple network interfaces, VPN’s and bridges. Unfortunately Shorewall is still based on the old xtables (iptables, ip6tables, ebtables, […]

  7. Wanted to share a recent project of mine from past few weeks to turn my #nanopi r5s #sbc into a really potent pure debian Linux router that was sane to manage.

    I was able to successfully switch over this weekend and retire my edgerouter-6p.

    The formula is basically #ansible #systemd stuff #netplan #dnsmasq #frrouting and #foomuuri -- the lynchpin solution for sanely doing robust zone-to-zone firewalls using #nftables

    Repo linked below has more details:

  8. wanted to share super quick and dirty zone firewall demo using #foomuuri on my #nanopi r5s

    foomuuri is very sane.. I have all my configs generated with ansible.
