Cloudflare and Dome9 Blacklister Scripts (Bash/Python)
One of my servers was under attack from an IP in China recently (some lame automated SQLi), but I figured I’d blackhole the source IP anyway.
My first step was to blacklist in Dome9, which I use to manage that server’s firewall, but after noticing that the attacks were still hitting my server I remembered that because I also use Cloudflare and those attacks were getting tunnelled through their network. So the solution (for that particular attack) was to also blacklist the source IP in Cloudflare. When another stupid attack came in a day or so later, I did the same and realised that it would be much easier if I automated the whole process.
So I threw together a Bash script (and then a Python script) that leverages the Cloudflare and Dome9 APIs to submit a given IP address to one or both services.
I’ve put these into my scripts repo on GitHub. Simply insert your Cloudflare and/or Dome9 API keys into the configuration portion of the script and go. Using this you could conceivably fully automate it by auto-detecting brute-force type attacks using a script on the server and calling this script to make the blacklist updates.
Bearing in mind these were very hastily put together, any feedback/improvements are welcome!
Honeyport Python Script with Local Firewall and Dome9 Support
Following on from my linux bash honeyport script (read this first if you don’t know what a Honeyport is), I wanted to write a script that works across platforms to accept connections on a given port and block that IP using the local firewall – IPFW on Mac OS X, iptables on Linux, or Windows Firewall – or using the Dome9 service (I’m hoping to add Unix support soon).
I chose to write this one in Python as the cross-platform language of choice, and it’s compatible with Python 2.7 to 3.4. One feature of this script is that you can optionally configure it to run another Python script whenever a client connects to the honeyport. The client’s IP will be passed to the called script as an argument, allowing you to do whatever you want with it. The script’s output is then sent back to the connected client before they are blacklisted.
Check it out on GitHub, improvements and additional ideas are welcome!
