From the documentation for version 4.7.0, which is still in development and not directly available:
Alternative approach might be using using fail2ban as phpMyAdmin logs failed authentication attempts to syslog (if available)
Unfortunately this logging is only introduced in the current master branch, which as I mentioned will become 4.7.0 at some point in the future. You can probably safely use the master branch, as the developers try to not break anything there during development. Aside from that, you'll have to implement something by looking at the Apache access logs rather than directly from phpMyAdmin.
With Ubuntu, the packaged fail2ban is pretty well configured out of the box, I imagine Debian is similar. Edit /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
and enable the Apache sections, which include [apache]
and a number of similar sections (such as [apache-overflows]
and [apache-badbots]
). You may wish to also turn on filtering for PHP here.
I wouldn't expect to see anything in the Apache error log in this case, so you're fine in that regard.
About actually tuning fail2ban, I'm not much of an expert, but this should get you started at least.
Additional reading: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-an-apache-server-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04 or any other tutorial you can find on Google.
so right now we can only wait for 4.7 to support saving log for fail2ban. Then I think right now the best solution to protect from brute force is using recaptcha?

Recaptcha is a good choice for most situations, yes. Your other options as I see them are installing from the development version to get early access to the log feature and/or using fail2ban with the Apache logs, which should work okay...if you really want to only limit it to phpMyAdmin, you could even run a virtual host with a unique logfile.

The version provided through apt is still 4.6.6 unfortunately, but there is a really way to update to the current stable version (4.8.3): https://askubuntu.com/a/1057085. Basically:
wget
the latest version from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/unzip
rm
ormv
the old phpmyadmin folder in/usr/share
(obviously backup any custom config)- copy the freshly unzipped version with something like
cp -r phpMyAdmin-4.8.3-english /usr/share/phpmyadmin
- set "blowfish_secret" in
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
and usemkdir tmp
&chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
to enable template caching
After that, you will see the failed attempts in auth.log. Something like phpMyAdmin[27685]: user denied: admin (mysql-denied) from X.X.X.X
. Now open your fail2ban jail configuration (I think it is located at /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
and add the following block:
[phpmyadmin-syslog]
enabled = true
filter = phpmyadmin-syslog
maxretry = 3
Should work fine.
Where is the auth.log? I am using phpmyadmin 4.8.3 .

Recaptcha is a good choice for most situations, yes. Your other options as I see them are installing from the development version to get early access to the log feature and/or using fail2ban with the Apache logs, which should work okay...if you really want to only limit it to phpMyAdmin, you could even run a virtual host with a unique logfile.

The version provided through apt is still 4.6.6 unfortunately, but there is a really way to update to the current stable version (4.8.3): https://askubuntu.com/a/1057085. Basically:
wget
the latest version from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/unzip
rm
ormv
the old phpmyadmin folder in/usr/share
(obviously backup any custom config)- copy the freshly unzipped version with something like
cp -r phpMyAdmin-4.8.3-english /usr/share/phpmyadmin
- set "blowfish_secret" in
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
and usemkdir tmp
&chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp
to enable template caching
After that, you will see the failed attempts in auth.log. Something like phpMyAdmin[27685]: user denied: admin (mysql-denied) from X.X.X.X
. Now open your fail2ban jail configuration (I think it is located at /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
and add the following block:
[phpmyadmin-syslog]
enabled = true
filter = phpmyadmin-syslog
maxretry = 3
Should work fine.
Where is the auth.log? I am using phpmyadmin 4.8.3 .

there's nothing in the error log in /var/log/apache2/error.log

Or is there any settings that I can add in the /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php so that the errors can be saved to a log file?
