# A script to monitor /var/log/messages for sendmail logs looking for
# "User unknown" logs, and then using data from Linux's /proc/net/tcp
# and /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/fd/* tie those logs to the remote IP address that is
# responsible for them, so we can firewall it, etc. at certain thresholds.
#
# This code works only on Linux kernels version 2.4.x and 2.6.x.
#
# Authored 2005-02-23 by Lester Hightower
#  * 20050308: added kernel 2.6.x support
#              added iptables rules to firewall offenders
#  * 20050331: some cleanup in preparation for submitting to CPAN
#              added DoGetOpts() for some command-line changeable globals
#              added POD

=head1 NAME

spam.kill_uname_guessers.pl

=head1 SYNOPSIS

A daemon to detect spammers trying to harvest email addresses by username guessing and temporarily DROP them with iptables firewall rules.

=head1 DESCRIPTION OF USAGE

Author yourself a script like this, substituting values that make sense for your network:

 #!/bin/bash
 # Mainly because init restricts to short command lines.
 EXE="/etc/mail/spam.kill_uname_guessers.pl"
 if [ -x "$EXE" ]; then
   exec "$EXE" --debug=3 --debug-to-syslog \
        --white-list=/etc/mail/spam.kill_uname_guessers.whitelist \
        --syslog-msgs-file=/var/log/messages \
        --mailer-ip=10.100.10.200 --mailer-port=25 \
        --mailer-syslog-host=mail1 --mailer-syslog-name=sm-mta \
        --iptables-chain-name=SPAM_UNAME_GUESSERS
 fi

The white-list file holds one-entry-per line with comments marked by a pound
sign (#) in column zero, where each entry is a network address in the format
10.10.10.10/24.  The mailer-ip and mailer-port options represent the IP
address and port (should always be 25) that *external* hosts connect to in
order to deliver email to this server (for your network).  The
mailer-syslog-host and mailer-syslog-name options, respectively, are the
hostname and tag that sendmail logs its messages with on this server.  The
iptables-chain-name option is what this program is to name the iptables
table in which this script will place its DROP rules.

 And then add a line to your /etc/inittab file like this:

 # A program working to reduce spam by firewalling username guessers
 SMFW:3:respawn:/etc/mail/spam.kill_uname_guessers.10east.sh

 And then execute "init q" ...

=head1 OTHER FEATURES

This program also looks for and kills sendmail processes that have been 
stuck in "cmd read" mode for a long time.  The definition of a "long time"
is controlled by the global variable $MAX_RUNTIME_SENDMAIL_CMD_WAIT which
represents the number of seconds since a given sendmail process, that is
stuck on "cmd read" mode, started running.

=head1 CAVEATS

This program has only been tested on Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and sendmail
8.12.x and 8.13.x.  It may work with other platforms, but none have been
tested by the author.

=head1 ADDENDUM

Just as information, this is what the iptables rules that this script
produces and manages will look like:

 root@mail1:# iptables -L -n | egrep ^SPAM_UNAME_GUESSERS
 SPAM_UNAME_GUESSERS  tcp  --  0.0.0.0/0    0.0.0.0/0    tcp dpt:25 

 root@mail1:# iptables -L SPAM_UNAME_GUESSERS -n
 Chain SPAM_UNAME_GUESSERS (1 references)
 target     prot opt source             destination         
 DROP       tcp  --  61.173.40.71       0.0.0.0/0       tcp dpt:25 
 DROP       tcp  --  211.162.182.2      0.0.0.0/0       tcp dpt:25 
 DROP       tcp  --  61.33.194.207      0.0.0.0/0       tcp dpt:25 

DROP rules for specific hosts are removed from the SPAM_UNAME_GUESSERS
table after the "UnblockOldOffenders" timeout has past, as specified in
the %PERIODIC_CLEANSERS global data structure.
