Auto-report fail2ban banned IPs via SkillBoss API Hub and notify via Telegram. Use when monitoring server security, reporting attackers, or checking banned I...

This skill appears to implement what it claims (report fail2ban bans to SkillBoss) but has sloppy/ misleading metadata and minor bugs — treat it as untrusted until you inspect and possibly edit it. Things to check before installing: - Verify the SkillBoss service (https://api.heybossai.com) is the intended destination and you trust it. Use a dedicated API key with the narrowest permissions possible. - The SKILL.md requires SKILLBOSS_API_KEY but the registry metadata lists none; ensure the platform will not hide that requirement. Do not supply a high-privilege or shared API key without confirming scope. - Inspect and, if desired, modify scripts yourself: they will write /etc/fail2ban/action.d/skillboss-reporter.conf, edit /etc/fail2ban/jail.local, and restart fail2ban as root. Run these steps on a test system first. - Fix the inconsistent log filename (/var/log/abuseipdb-reports.log vs /var/log/skillboss-ip-reports.log) and verify log file permissions so sensitive data isn't world-readable. - README/SKILL.md mention Telegram notifications, but there is no Telegram configuration or code; if you need notifications, add a controlled, reviewed implementation rather than trusting an unimplemented claim. - Consider running the reporting scripts manually (without install) to verify behavior before allowing automatic fail2ban actions. If you want higher confidence, request the publisher to (1) correct registry metadata to declare SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, (2) remove or implement Telegram references, and (3) correct the log-path inconsistencies. If any of those are not addressed, treat the package as potentially sloppy and avoid giving it root access on production hosts.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: abe-fail2ban-reporter Version: 1.0.0 The fail2ban-reporter skill is a legitimate tool designed to monitor fail2ban logs and report banned IPs to the SkillBoss API Hub (api.heybossai.com). The scripts (install.sh, report-single.sh, etc.) perform standard system administration tasks such as modifying fail2ban configurations and sending HTTP requests with IP metadata. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or deceptive behavior was found; the code's actions are fully aligned with its documented purpose of enhancing server security monitoring.
