Fail2ban Rules for Foundry VTT

November 02, 2024

Leave a comment if you like, hate, or find something confusing. This guide covers the steps required to create your own fail2ban jails, using foundryvtt as an example. *Warning I take some playful liberty at the start of this post. Welcome fellow nerds, geeks, otaku, or whatever you smartypants call yourselves. I'm assuming you might fit one of the following categories probably because you either know what Fail2ban is you nerd, or you know what FoundryVTT is you DnD tabletop (but on computer) roleplaying geek . Now that i've gotten the tongue in cheek (insults/compliments) aside I have a confession to make. I know what both of those things are so does that make me like a Generked? Okay I just mixed the two words together, that might be good for a riddle or puzzle in some future game. Anyways enough blabbing, you are probably here for the technical content anyways. Everything that i'm writing is assuming you use an Ubuntu/Debian based Linux distribution. Most Linux distros ...

Fail2ban Behind Reverse Proxy

November 08, 2024

Assumptions, Prerequisites, Prior Set Up This guide is for when the reverse proxy & FoundryVTT server are both on separate machines This guide builds upon the prior one and details how to setup fail2ban to block bad bots, automated login attempts, and repeated connection attempts that are likely malicious, when your server is behind a reverse proxy. If you haven't taken a look already my prior post detailed how to go about setting up fail2ban rules. https://blog.iterlyze.com/2024/11/fail2ban-foundryvtt.html This guide assumes you are using a Debian 12 server (or Ubuntu) and have a basic idea of how to use a Linux shell. Some other assumptions that won't affect setting up fail2ban include that you are using Nginx as the reverse proxy, nftables as your system's firewall frontend, and that you are forwarding traffic to a FoundryVTT server. Make sure the reverse proxy and the server it sends traffic to is working before trying to set up fail2ban. If you are setting up Fou...

Leadership Training 2

February 11, 2023

Recently I was invited to conduct a leadership workshop at California State University of Monterey Bay for the Networking and Security Team. They wanted the training to focus in on getting things done, so I put together a few fun training activities that help with communication, self-direction, teamwork, and having more effective meetings. Activities build leaders faster than lectures in my experience. Check out the slides and try a few of the activities for yourself! When talking about leadership a general discussion about what a leader is, is in order. When asked many of the participants shared ideas such as "A leader is someone who gets things done", "Someone who steps up", "An active listener", "Leaders are people that others follow". We didn't get too deep into what a leader was in this training and focused more on a few of the skills. If you are interested in diving a little deeper into some of the details of leadership i've foun...
