Linux – Block SSH and FTP Access to Specific IP and Network Range in Linux

May 23, 2018 – 2:24 pm

I’m not sure why but someone in China must think my Linux server contains massive secrets and sometimes even when using fail2ban it seems to be bogged down by attempts to login as root to my SSH by brute force attack which leaves me scratching my head as to if anyone really allows root access to SSH.

Anyhow, the goal is to just reject these jokers at a transport level on the firewall.

The article on how to do this is here.

The relevant commands are:

firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 filter INPUT 1 -m tcp --source 192.168.1.100/24 -p tcp --dport 22 -j REJECT
firewall-cmd --reload

TCC – Error: ‘Timestamp format must be…’

May 14, 2018 – 5:01 pm

So I was trying to do a replace null on two date fields and render it toChar yyyy-MM-dd and it kept giving me the lovely ‘SAX parsing error’, looking in the profiler I get this reason:
Timestamp format must be yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff]
After rearranging the order of the toChar and replaceNull and still getting the same thing, I finally stumbled on the answer which was to declare the projection as a toChar by adding:
projectedField=”RuntimeString:toChar”
To the projection attributes.
I’m not 100% sure why this has to be done but it fixed the issue so figured I’d post it here.
