This assumes you have a address list named
blacklist
that is being blocked.
/ip firewall address-list add comment="Manual Addition" list=blacklist address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/ip firewall address-list remove [/ip firewall address-list find address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Filter the log entries for attackers first.
Example from a recent Joomla experience where an attacking botnet utilized a vulnerable 'contacts' page:
You will want to change
contact-me
and the log file name for your needs.
grep contact-me /var/log/virtualmin/exmple.com_error_log >> example.txt
Some Apache logs have the IP address as the first field.
Strip it down to IP addresses:
awk '{ print $1 } ' example.txt | sort | uniq > evildoers.txt
Or, to just determine how many attackers there were:
awk '{ print $1 } ' example.txt | sort | uniq | wc -l
Some newer Apache logs have the IP address deeper in the line.
cat bloody1.txt | awk '{ print $11 } ' | awk -F ':' '{ print $1 } ' | sort | uniq > evildoers.txt
Create a Mikrotik script to add the evildoers to a 'blacklist' address-list:
echo "/ip firewall address-list" > add-to-blacklist.rsc cat evildoers.txt | awk --posix '/^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}/ { print "add list=blacklist address=" $1 " comment=Joomla-Contact-Botnet";}' >> add-to-blacklist.rsc
You can make the address-list entries dynamic by specifying a timeout by adding timeout=30d
or something like that, just before the comment.
Upload the add-to-blacklist.rsc
script to the Mikrotik (drag into Files window), then import it in a Mikrotik terminal window:
/import add-to-blacklist.rsc
