I’ve set it up using a conglomeration of various guides online, but can’t get it to ban still. Some key pieces:
- When I ban manually using 
iptables -A INPUT -s 69.64.57.17 -j DROPit works fine - 
iptables -nLonly reveals the IP I manually banned above underDROP - My 
jail.conffile contains the following for asterisk: 
[asterisk]
port     = 5060,5061
action   = %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s-tcp, port="%(port)s", protocol="tcp", chain="%(chain)s", actname=%(banaction)s-tcp]
           %(banaction)s[name=%(__name__)s-udp, port="%(port)s", protocol="udp", chain="%(chain)s", actname=%(banaction)s-udp]
           %(mta)s-whois[name=%(__name__)s, dest="%(destemail)s"]
logpath  = /var/log/asterisk/messages
maxretry = 10
[asterisk-iptables]
enabled  = true
filter   = asterisk
action   = iptables-allports[name=ASTERISK, protocol=all]
sendmail-whois[name=ASTERISK, [email protected], [email protected]]
logpath  = /var/log/asterisk/full
maxretry = 5
bantime = 86400
- My 
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/asterisk.conffile is as follows: 
.

- Processing my existing log produces this (and no bans from what I can tell):
 
fail2ban-regex /var/log/asterisk/full /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/asterisk.conf
Running tests
=============
Use   failregex filter file : asterisk, basedir: /etc/fail2ban
Use         log file : /var/log/asterisk/full
Use         encoding : UTF-8
