Added proper quoting and default values for numeric comparisons to prevent
'too many arguments' error when variables are empty or contain spaces.
Changes:
- Quote all numeric comparisons in conditional statements
- Add fallback default values for grep results (high_conn_count, ssh_attacks)
- Ensures variables always contain valid numbers before comparison
Created new threat intelligence library with extensive monitoring capabilities:

- Recommended action suggestions
Multi-Server Coordination:
- Shared threat data logging
- Cross-server attack correlation preparation
Live Monitor Integration:
- Auto-enrichment on first IP encounter
- AbuseIPDB confidence scoring boost (30pts for 75%+, 15pts for 50%+)
- High-risk country detection adds 5pts
- Attack pattern recording for learning
- New keyboard commands:
i) Threat intelligence lookup with incident reports
p) Performance impact monitor
All features use existing system tools only (no new services installed)
PROBLEM: Live monitor showed static CT_LIMIT="100" recommendation
- No analysis of actual site traffic
- No consideration of legitimate high-connection users
- Could block CDNs, bots, or legitimate traffic spikes
- No way to know what's safe for the specific server
SOLUTION: Created comprehensive CT_LIMIT optimizer script
NEW SCRIPT: modules/security/optimize-ct-limit.sh
WHAT IT DOES:
1. Analyzes Apache logs (last 24 hours by default)
- Parses all domain logs in /var/log/apache2/domlogs/
- Tracks max concurrent connections per IP per domain
- Identifies user agents and behavior patterns
2. Classifies IP behavior using bot-signatures.sh
- Legitimate bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.)
- AI crawlers (GPT, Claude, etc.)
- CDNs (Cloudflare, Akamai, etc.)
- Normal users vs high-traffic users
- Potential scrapers
3. Analyzes current active connections
- Uses ss or netstat to check real-time connections
- Identifies current highest connection counts
4. Calculates statistics
- 95th percentile of legitimate user connections
- 99th percentile for headroom
- Max concurrent from single legitimate IP
- Separates bot/CDN traffic from user traffic
5. Provides 3 recommendations:
a) CONSERVATIVE (max_legit + 20) - For high-traffic sites
b) BALANCED (max_legit + 10) - Recommended for most ⭐
c) AGGRESSIVE (max_legit + 5) - Only during active attack
6. Whitelist recommendations
- Identifies bots/CDNs exceeding recommended limit
- Suggests specific IPs to whitelist in CSF
- Prevents blocking Googlebot, monitoring services, etc.
7. One-command application
- Backs up csf.conf automatically
- Updates CT_LIMIT to recommended value
- Enables SYNFLOOD protection
- Restarts CSF
- Provides monitoring command
EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Connection Analysis Summary:
Total unique IPs analyzed: 1,247
Legitimate users: 1,180
Bots/CDNs/Crawlers: 67
Legitimate User Connection Patterns:
Max concurrent from single IP: 45
95th percentile: 12 concurrent connections
99th percentile: 28 concurrent connections
Current Active Connections:
Highest right now: 8 connections from 1.2.3.4
Current CSF Configuration:
CT_LIMIT = 150
📊 RECOMMENDED CT_LIMIT VALUES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. CONSERVATIVE: CT_LIMIT = 65
• Allows headroom for traffic spikes
• Won't block legitimate users
2. BALANCED: CT_LIMIT = 55 ⭐
• Based on 99th percentile + buffer
• Blocks most attack traffic
3. AGGRESSIVE: CT_LIMIT = 50
• Maximum DDoS protection
• May affect some legitimate users
⚠️ WHITELIST RECOMMENDATIONS
Found bots/crawlers with high connection counts:
• 66.249.72.38 (Googlebot) 82 connections
• 40.77.167.88 (Bingbot) 65 connections
• 157.55.39.183 (UptimeRobot) 48 connections
To whitelist: csf -a <IP>
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
INTEGRATION WITH LIVE MONITOR:
- Press 'c' during live monitoring to run optimizer
- Recommendation updates based on detected DDoS/SYN floods
- Quick Actions panel shows: "Press 'c' to run CT_LIMIT optimizer"
- Help screen updated with 'c' key
USAGE:
1. Standalone: modules/security/optimize-ct-limit.sh
2. From live monitor: Press 'c' during monitoring
3. With custom period: optimize-ct-limit.sh 48 (48 hours)
SAFETY:
- Automatic backup of csf.conf before changes
- Minimum thresholds (50/80/100) prevent too-aggressive limits
- Option to apply or just view recommendations
- Full report saved to /tmp for review
INTELLIGENCE:
- Uses actual traffic data, not guesses
- Accounts for legitimate high-connection sources
- Prevents blocking search engines and monitoring
- Adapts to each server's unique traffic patterns
FILES MODIFIED:
- modules/security/optimize-ct-limit.sh (NEW - 650 lines)
- modules/security/live-attack-monitor.sh
- Added 'c' key handler (line 1019-1024)
- Updated Quick Actions recommendation (line 438)
- Updated help screen (line 1045)
- Updated footer keys (line 457)
PROBLEM: Live monitor detected attacks but didn't provide actionable
recommendations for firewall configuration (CT_LIMIT, SYNFLOOD, etc.)
BEFORE:
Quick Actions panel only showed:
- Number of IPs ready to block
- Press 'b' to block
No guidance on:
- What to do about SYN floods
- How to enable SYNFLOOD protection
- When to adjust CT_LIMIT
- How to strengthen SSH against bruteforce
AFTER:
Quick Actions now provides intelligent recommendations based on detected attacks:
1. DDoS/SYN Flood Detection:
⚠️ DDoS/SYN Flood Detected - Firewall Protection Recommended
→ Enable SYNFLOOD protection: csf -e SYNFLOOD
→ Set CT_LIMIT: Edit /etc/csf/csf.conf → CT_LIMIT="100"
→ Apply changes: csf -r
2. SSH Bruteforce Detection (>5 attempts):
⚠️ SSH Bruteforce (X attempts) - Strengthen SSH Security
→ Lower LF_SSHD trigger: Edit /etc/csf/csf.conf → LF_SSHD="3"
→ Enable PortKnocking or change SSH port
3. IP Blocking (score >= 60):
⚠️ X high-threat IPs ready to block
→ Press 'b' to open blocking menu
INTELLIGENCE:
- Monitors IP_DATA for DDOS attacks
- Counts HIGH_CONN_COUNT events (>20 SYN_RECV)
- Counts SSH_BRUTEFORCE attempts in feed
- Only shows recommendations when threats detected
- Provides exact commands to run
PANEL RENAMED:
"QUICK ACTIONS" → "QUICK ACTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS"
USER BENEFIT:
- Know exactly what to do when SYN flood happens
- Get firewall config commands immediately
- Proactive security hardening suggestions
- No need to remember CSF syntax
NAVIGATION VERIFIED:
✅ All menu back buttons (0) return properly
✅ Cleanup trap handles Ctrl+C correctly
✅ Keyboard controls work (b, s, r, h, q)
✅ Blocking menu has cancel option
FILES MODIFIED:
- modules/security/live-attack-monitor.sh
- Enhanced draw_quick_actions() (lines 393-460)
- Added attack pattern detection
- Added firewall recommendation logic
- Panel title updated
- Changed from 'score >= 40' to 'score > 0 OR has attacks OR suspicious bot'
- Now shows ALL interesting traffic, not just high-scoring threats
- Added bot type display for suspicious/AI bots
- Users will see much more activity in the feed
This fixes the issue where legitimate attacks weren't showing because
they hadn't accumulated enough score yet.
Changes:
- Fixed incorrect scan result retrieval (was getting oldest scan instead of newest)
- Changed tail -1 to tail -n +2 | head -1 (skip header, get most recent scan)
- Fixed field number from 0 to 1 (TOTAL files scanned)
- Extract TOTAL_MALICIOUS from scan result directly (field 12)
- Added number validation to ImunifyAV, ClamAV, and Maldet parsers
- Now correctly reports realistic file counts (e.g., 3997 files in 69s, not millions)
Tested:
✓ ImunifyAV parsing verified with actual output
✓ Syntax check passed
Bug reference: BUG_014 in REFDB_FORMAT.txt
Added reference database building to enable fast user/domain selection:
1. Added to show_scan_menu() (lines 1447-1452):
- Builds reference database once when menu loads
- Caches all user and domain data for quick lookups
- Clears screen after building to show clean menu
- Only runs if build_reference_database function is available
2. User/Domain selection now uses cached data:
- select_user_interactive (line 1167) - uses cached user list
- Domain lookup (line 1195+) - can reference cached domain data
- Docroot matching (lines 1176-1180) - fast array lookups
Benefits:
- Fast user selection with pre-cached data
- Quick domain lookups without repeated parsing
- Efficient scanning when selecting specific users/domains
- No repeated file system queries for user information
- Consistent with other modules that use reference database
The reference database includes:
- All system users
- User domain mappings
- Docroot paths
- User metadata (disk usage, etc.)
Added safeguards for scanning entire filesystem from /:
1. Updated menu text (line 1127):
- Changed from "Entire server (all docroots)"
- To: "Entire server (scan from / - WARNING: may take several hours)"
- Provides immediate visibility of scan duration
2. Added confirmation prompt (lines 1142-1157):
- Shows yellow WARNING message
- Lists what will be scanned (user dirs, system files, app files)
- Warns about duration and resource usage
- Requires explicit "yes" to proceed
- Allows cancellation without starting scan
Benefits:
- Prevents accidental full server scans
- Sets proper expectations for scan duration
- User can choose to scan specific paths instead
- No surprise multi-hour scans
Three critical fixes to improve malware scanner usability:
1. Entire Server Scan Scope (line 1132):
- Changed from scanning only cPanel docroots to scanning entire filesystem
- scan_paths=("/") instead of scan_paths=("${sanitized_docroot[@]}")
- Updated display message: "Scan scope: Entire server from /"
- Fixes issue where "Entire server" option only scanned user directories
2. Screen Session Persistence (line 917):
- Added 'exec bash' at end of scan script to keep screen session alive
- User now has time to review summary and answer cleanup prompt
- Screen won't auto-close when script finishes
- Provides option to open interactive shell or detach (Ctrl+A then D)
- Fixes premature session termination issue
3. Selective Cleanup (lines 883-899):
- Changed cleanup to only delete scan.sh script
- Logs and results are always preserved at /opt/malware-*/
- New prompt: "Delete scan script? (Logs and results will be preserved)"
- Only removes scan.sh when user answers "yes"
- User can manually delete entire directory if needed: rm -rf $SCAN_DIR
- Moved RKHunter cleanup before user prompt (lines 870-880)
Benefits:
- Full server scanning actually scans from / root
- User can review results before screen closes
- Scan scripts are cleaned up for security
- Logs/results preserved for later review
- No accidental data loss
Added comprehensive summary table showing what each scanner found,
making it easy to see all results at a glance.
New Summary Section:
- Consolidated results table for all scanners
- Shows counts: threats, infected files, warnings
- Formatted table with aligned columns
- Scanner-specific result types
- Log file locations for detailed review
Example Output:
SCANNER RESULTS SUMMARY:
----------------------------------------
ImunifyAV: 2 threats detected
ClamAV: 0 infected files
Maldet: Scan complete (check logs)
Rootkit Hunter: 3 warnings
----------------------------------------
Improvements:
- Quick overview without reading all logs
- Clear indication if threats found
- Easy comparison across scanners
- Shows which scanners ran
- Provides log paths for deeper investigation
Clean presentation with:
- ✓ checkmark for clean scans
- ⚠️ warning icon for infected files
- Action-oriented messaging
- Helpful next steps
Changed ImunifyAV from asynchronous queue mode to synchronous scan mode
to ensure scanners run sequentially and each completes before the next starts.
Problem:
- Used "malware on-demand queue put" which queues asynchronously
- Scanner immediately moved to next scanner without waiting
- Broke sequential scanning requirement
- Output showed "scans queued" but scan was still running
Solution:
- Changed to "malware on-demand start --path" (synchronous)
- Blocks until scan completes
- Shows progress: "→ Scanning: /path"
- Extracts infected count from malicious list
- Now properly sequential: ImunifyAV → ClamAV → Maldet → RKHunter
Result:
- All 4 scanners now run completely sequentially
- Each scanner waits for previous to finish
- Proper "scan complete" reporting for ImunifyAV
- Infected file counts tracked correctly
Ensures scan integrity and proper resource management.
Changed rkhunter from permanent installation to temporary session-based use,
aligning with toolkit's "Download, Run, Fix, Delete" philosophy.
Behavior:
- Standalone scanner checks if rkhunter is installed
- If NOT found: Auto-installs temporarily with EPEL
- Updates definitions and initializes baseline
- Runs the scan
- Auto-removes rkhunter at end of scan session
- Tracks installation with RKHUNTER_TEMP_INSTALLED flag
Benefits:
- No permanent footprint on server
- Automatic cleanup after use
- Still available in "Install All Scanners" for users who want it permanent
- Standalone scans are truly self-contained and temporary
Implementation:
- Added RKHUNTER_TEMP_INSTALLED tracking variable
- Auto-install logic before scanner detection
- Silent installation (yum &>/dev/null)
- Auto-removal after scan completes
- Logged in session.log for transparency
RKHunter is system-level (checks binaries/kernel) not file-level,
so it doesn't need to persist - perfect candidate for temp install.
Integrated rkhunter for comprehensive rootkit/backdoor/exploit detection
alongside existing ImunifyAV, ClamAV, and Maldet scanners.
Features:
- Detection: is_rkhunter_installed() checks for installation
- Installation: Auto-enables EPEL, installs rkhunter, updates definitions
- Baseline: Initializes property database with --propupd
- Scanning: Uses --check --skip-keypress --report-warnings-only
- Reporting: Tracks warnings and detected rootkits
- Documentation: Added to installation guide with full instructions
Integration points:
- detect_scanners(): Added rkhunter to available scanners list
- show_scanner_installation_guide(): Added installation instructions
- install_all_scanners(): Added [4/4] installation with EPEL setup
- Standalone scanner: Added rkhunter detection and scan case
Scan behavior:
- Updates rootkit definitions before each scan
- Runs comprehensive system checks (no user interaction)
- Reports warnings count in summary
- Extracts found rootkits to infected_list
- Runs sequentially with other scanners
Research: Based on 2024-2025 best practices from rkhunter documentation
- Version: 1.4.6 (current stable)
- Free and open source
- Available in EPEL repository
The docroot extraction from /etc/userdatadomains was completely broken,
causing scans to target invalid paths like "main" instead of actual
document roots like /home/user/public_html.
Problem:
- Used `cut -d= -f5` which treats EVERY = as delimiter
- File format uses == as delimiter: user==owner==main==domain==docroot==...
- This caused field 5 to be "main" instead of the docroot path
- Result: Scanners scanned zero files and completed in seconds
Solution:
- Use `awk -F'==' '{print $5}'` to properly parse == delimited fields
- Extract field after colon, then split by ==
- Added -d check to ensure docroot exists before adding
- Fixed both detect_control_panel() and get_user_docroots()
Impact:
- Malware scans now actually scan real document roots
- Full server scans will take appropriate time (not 10 seconds!)
- Users will see actual file counts and scan progress
- Added missing source for reference-db.sh library in malware-scanner.sh:15
- Created store_reference() and get_reference() functions in reference-db.sh
- Functions use REF|key|value format in .sysref database
- Fixes "store_reference: command not found" errors at lines 816-817
Changes:
- Show 'please wait' message for long installation
- Display installation progress from deployment script
- Clean up any existing deployment script first
- Show relevant output: Installing/Installed/Complete/Error
- Remove suppression of all output
This should make ImunifyAV installation more visible and debuggable.
Scanner Detection Improvements:
- Created dedicated detection functions for each scanner
- is_imunify_installed(): Checks command and /usr/bin location
- is_clamav_installed(): Checks command, cPanel path, and RPM
- is_maldet_installed(): Checks command and /usr/local/sbin
ClamAV Fixes:
- Now detects cPanel-installed ClamAV correctly
- Checks for cpanel-clamav RPM package
- Finds clamscan in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/
- Handles already-installed cPanel ClamAV gracefully
- Dynamically finds freshclam binary for updates
ImunifyAV Improvements:
- Better installation detection
- Finds binary dynamically for updates
- Handles various installation paths
Benefits:
- Scanners installed via cPanel are now detected
- No false "not installed" errors
- Better handling of non-standard install paths
- More robust binary finding for updates
User feedback addressed: Detection was failing for cPanel-installed
scanners that weren't in standard PATH locations.
Enhancements:
- All scanners now update signatures immediately after installation
- Signature updates are visible with progress messages
- Show relevant output from update commands
- Graceful fallback if update output parsing fails
Updates per scanner:
1. ClamAV:
- freshclam runs immediately post-install
- Shows "updated", "Downloaded", or "up-to-date" messages
- Confirms with green checkmark
2. Maldet:
- maldet -u runs immediately post-install
- Shows "update completed" or signature count
- Confirms with green checkmark
3. ImunifyAV:
- imunify-antivirus update runs immediately post-install
- Shows "updated", "Success", or "completed" messages
- Confirms with green checkmark
User feedback addressed: Signatures should update automatically
right after installation, not silently in background.
Architecture Changes:
- ALL scans now use standalone scanner (/opt deployment)
- Toolkit serves as monitor/manager, not executor
- Removed direct scanning from toolkit entirely
New Features:
- Bulk scanner installation (install all 3 at once)
- Scan status checker with live progress
- Session manager (delete individual or all completed scans)
- Enhanced menu structure with clear separation
Menu Organization:
1. Create New Scan (server/user/domain/custom) → generates standalone
2. Monitor & Manage (status/results/delete)
3. Configuration (install all/settings)
Removed Functions:
- scan_entire_server() - now via standalone
- scan_user_account() - now via standalone
- scan_domain() - now via standalone
- scan_custom_path() - now via standalone
- run_all_scanners() - embedded in standalone
- scan_imunify/clamav/maldet() - embedded in standalone
Benefits:
- Cleaner separation of concerns
- Consistent scan execution (all via standalone)
- Better resource management
- Toolkit can be deleted during scan
- Centralized scan monitoring
Enhancements:
- Auto-install screen when not available (yum/apt-get support)
- Nohup fallback option if user prefers no screen installation
- Enhanced view_scan_results to show standalone scanner sessions
- Display session status (running/completed) for standalone scans
- Show summary, infected files, and logs for each session
- Track PIDs for nohup-launched scans
Screen handling:
- Option 1: Auto-install screen (recommended)
- Option 2: Use nohup fallback (no dependencies)
- Option 3: Cancel operation
Results viewer improvements:
- Separate toolkit and standalone scan results
- List all /opt/malware-* sessions with status
- Show summary, infected files, and recent logs
- Provide commands to monitor ongoing scans
This ensures the standalone scanner works even on minimal
systems without screen pre-installed.
Features:
- Standalone scanner generator that runs independently in /opt
- Launch in screen session for background execution
- Self-contained script with no toolkit dependencies
- Self-cleanup with user confirmation after completion
- Scanner installation guide for ImunifyAV, ClamAV, and Maldet
- Menu option 5: Launch standalone scanner
- Complete scan scope selection (server/user/domain/custom path)
Implementation:
- Added show_scanner_installation_guide() function
- Added launch_standalone_scanner_menu() function
- Enhanced generate_standalone_scanner() with screen integration
- Integrated with main malware scanner menu
Use case: Long-running scans can be launched independently,
allowing toolkit deletion while scans continue in background.
New Features:
- 'All Available Scanners' option in all scan modes (server/user/domain/custom)
- Runs ImunifyAV, ClamAV, and Maldet sequentially with progress tracking
- Creates consolidated multi-scanner session reports
- Shows [1/3], [2/3], [3/3] progress indicators
- 3-second wait between scanners to prevent system overload
- Session reports saved to logs/malware-scans/multiscan_*.txt
- Stores session IDs in reference database for cross-module access
- New 'Compare scanner results' option (menu option 6)
- View consolidated reports from multiple scanners
Workflow:
1. Select any scan scope (server/user/domain/path)
2. Choose 'All Available Scanners' option
3. All installed scanners run automatically one after another
4. Single consolidated report with all results
5. Use option 6 to compare/view latest multi-scanner session
Much more automated - no need to run each scanner separately!
Malware scanning is now more prominent:
- Moved from Web Application Analysis submenu to main Security Analysis menu
- Now option 1 (🦠 Malware Scanner) in Analysis & Troubleshooting
- Direct path: Security → Analysis → Malware Scanner (2→1→1)
- Removed from Web Application submenu to avoid duplication
- Renumbered all security analysis options accordingly
Much easier to find and access the malware scanner now.
New workflow:
1. User runs: source run.sh (instead of bash launcher.sh)
2. Launcher runs normally
3. On exit with cleanup=yes, launcher sets flag file
4. Wrapper detects flag and does ALL cleanup automatically:
- Cleans ~/.bash_history file
- Clears current shell's in-memory history
- Removes toolkit directory
- No manual commands needed
The key: wrapper is SOURCED so it runs in parent shell and can modify history.
User experience: answer "yes" and cleanup happens instantly, automatically.
Changes:
- Cleans ~/.bash_history file immediately when user selects yes
- Verifies curl command is gone from file before continuing
- Removes logs, temp files, toolkit directory automatically
- Shows verification: "✓ Verified: No curl download commands in history file"
- User just needs to run: history -c, unset HISTFILE, exit
No more asking user to source scripts. Just do the cleanup and verify.
Exit menu now tells user to SOURCE the trace eraser instead of running it as subprocess:
- Single command: TRACE_ERASER_AUTO=yes source tools/erase-toolkit-traces.sh
- Sourcing runs it in current shell, allowing it to modify that shell's history
- No more separate helper scripts or multiple steps
- Single source of truth for all cleanup logic
This fixes the parent shell history issue - by sourcing instead of running as subprocess, the trace eraser can actually modify the shell's history where the curl command was executed.
Exit menu now:
- Calls trace eraser in TRACE_ERASER_AUTO=yes mode (no prompts, removes everything)
- Creates minimal helper script only for parent shell history cleanup
- Single source of truth: tools/erase-toolkit-traces.sh
Removed duplicate cleanup logic from launcher exit handler.
The fundamental issue: launcher.sh runs in a subprocess, so it cannot modify the parent shell's history where the curl command was executed.
Solution: Create a temporary cleanup script that the parent shell must source after launcher exits. This allows the history cleaning to run in the correct shell context.
User workflow:
1. Run launcher.sh and select exit with cleanup
2. Source the generated /tmp/.cleanup_history_$$.sh script
3. History is cleaned in the parent shell
4. Exit and restart shell to verify
The cleanup script removes toolkit traces from ~/.bash_history and disables history recording for the current session.
Simplified to match the exact logic from erase-toolkit-traces.sh:
- Use grep -Ev with pattern matching
- Clean file, clear history, reload, unset HISTFILE
- Then run trace eraser subprocess for logs/files/directory
The key fix is running this in the current shell instead of subprocess.
The trace eraser was running as a subprocess, so history cleaning only affected the subprocess. The parent shell would still write its dirty history back to the file on exit.
Now the exit handler cleans history directly in the current shell before calling trace eraser:
- Cleans ~/.bash_history file with grep -Ev
- Runs history -c to clear in-memory history
- Reloads cleaned history with history -r
- Unsets HISTFILE to prevent re-writing on exit
- Then runs trace eraser subprocess for logs/files/directory cleanup
This ensures curl commands and all toolkit traces are actually removed from bash history.
Changes:
- Single question on exit: 'Clean history and remove traces?'
- If yes: runs full trace eraser automatically
- Auto mode skips all prompts, removes everything
- TRACE_ERASER_AUTO=yes flag for non-interactive mode
User experience:
- Exit (0)
- One question
- If yes: everything cleaned and removed automatically
- No multiple prompts
Changes:
- Prompt user to clean history when selecting Exit (0)
- Runs trace eraser if user answers 'yes'
- Shows clear message about what will be cleaned
User experience:
- Exit from main menu
- Asked: 'Clean history? (yes/no)'
- If yes: runs full trace eraser
- Then exits normally
Changes:
- Replace leading space with HISTFILE=/dev/null prefix
- More reliable - works on all systems
- Doesn't depend on HISTCONTROL settings
Command now prevents history recording universally
