net-Shield

Build Status
An Easy and Simple Anti-DDoS solution for VPS,Dedicated Servers and IoT devices based on iptables/ipsets


Requirements

  • Linux System with golang, iptables/ipsets
  • Nginx

Quickstart

Run the bash script (install.sh) to install all the required dependencies.

bash install.sh


You will be prompted to insert a domain and the real IP address associated to it so net-Shield will configure for you the first proxydomain (you can see the changes on /etc/nshield/nshield.conf).

Proxy Domains

To configure proxydomains you need to enable the proxy option on /etc/nshield/nshield.conf (proxy = 1) and be sure that the proxydomain list (on the same conf file) is correct:

root@kitploit:~
proxydomains = [
  "sami.pw 8.8.8.8",
  "example.org 1.2.3.4"
]

Usage

After you completed the install with the quickstart script you can call the "config-nshield" commad that will read the nshield.conf and re-configure shield rules based on the new configuration.

Example: I want to enable SSL on sami.pw that i just configured as above:

  1. Edit /etc/nshield/nshield.conf and set autossl = 1
  2. On your terminal run: # config-shield
  3. You can now see the changes on the Nginx configuration

The domain must point to the net-Shield instance otherwise will fail let's encrypt verification.

Logs are diplayed on: /var/log/nshield.log

How it works

Basically this script is set by default to run every 30 minutes and execute these operations:

  • Get latest Bot,Spammers,Bad IP/Net reputation lists and blocks if those Bad guys are attacking your server (Thank you FireHol http://iplists.firehol.org/ )
  • Enable basic Anti-DDoS methods to deny unwanted/malicious traffic
  • Rate limits when under attack
  • Allows HTTP(S) Proxying to protect your site
