WHM/Centos/VPS Having Brute Force Attacks
Jan 29, 2008I am getting these types of reports in my nightly reports:
=================
sshd:
Authentication Failures:
unknown (bips131.bi.ehu.es): 212 Time(s)

===============
My VPS support said I could try:
-alternate sshd port
-require key access
-selecting client ip access
-rate limit incoming sshd syn packets per src address
However, I need some help understanding the best way to address these so that these brute force attacks aren't successful.
FTP Brute Force

Flood In FTP And Brute Force
Oct 27, 2008flood in FTP and brute force
all day i receved msgs of BFD someone trying acess server, how to stop it, exemple:
Executed ban command:
/etc/apf/apf -d 221.186.164.233 {bfd.pure-ftpd}
The following are event logs from 221.186.164.233 on service pure-ftpd (all time stamps are GMT -0500):

Brute Force Attack On VPS
Jul 1, 2008Today I woke up to a couple of emails from people in China and India trying to break into my server. Then as I went to login to WHM I get this message:
This account is currently locked out because a brute force attempt was detected. Please wait 10 minutes and try again. Attempting to login again will only increase this delay.
If you frequently experience this problem, we recommend having your username changed to something less generic.
Are there ways that I can prevent these attacks? I know that the IPs involved are getting banned, but are there any other methods I should be taking?
Brute Force In CPanel
Nov 2, 2008Over the last few weeks I've been getting emails from WHM stating "x login failures attempts to account root (system) -- too many attempts from this ip"
These emails have been coming in almost hourly and it seems as though somebody is trying to guess the password to the root account and random other accounts.
For now I reduced the amount of failed login attempts to 2 before cPanel blocks the IP.
Is there any other way I can completely stop this person from even attempting to guess my passwords?
Brute Force Attempted Through SSH
Mar 17, 2008For a company I'm working at, two nodes have been brute force attempted through SSH. I've got the logs from both servers in front of me, but could anyone enlighten me of who the ISP is?
ISP: host-80-241-179-30.deltanet.ge
Brute Force Attack
Mar 11, 2008I have a managed VPS and I haven't really ever paid too much attention to the logs until now.
I noticed that the APF logs indicate a 2-5 attacks on my server attempting to log in via ssh. My system allows 10 minutes of log in failure attacks before apf bans the ip.
To eliminate the method of attack, I see 2 ways. One way is to change the SSH port; the second is to only allow ssh via specified ip's.
What are the pro's and con's of both... also are there other ways to eliminate these attacks via ssh?
Brute Force Detection (bfd)
Apr 6, 2007ive just installed bfd on a new server:
[url]
And im getting the following in an email every 10 minutes:
Code:
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 26:
: command not found
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 38:
: command not found
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 47:
: command not found
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 59:
: command not found
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 60:
: command not found
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 76:
: command not found
/usr/local/bfd/conf.bfd: line 88:
: command not found
The email is being sent from:
Cron Daemon <root@hostname.com> (replaced hostname myself)
Now i know this isnt r-fx networks support but none of there support options seem to work so i figured id post here considering the amount of users that are likely to be using bfd (or you should be)
DoD Brute Force Attack
Jan 14, 2007Ok, this is weird. What do you do when your VPS was submitted to a brute force attack from the U.S Department of Defense?
The IP Whois and Reverse DNS gives me "DoD Network Information Center", why in the world would they try to force access to a small (less than 20 clients) Canadian host?
And in case you're wondering, they don't seem to have any abuse email address.
Anti Brute Force Protection
Apr 30, 2009I have some windows 2k3 and 2k8 win servers and now i must to protect..
I need best free/commercial solution for firewall and anti brute force protection.
Brute Force Warning - 11 In 2 Days
Dec 13, 2007over the last 2 days I've gotten 11 emails telling me about brute force detections on my server, the vast majority of them are for sshd from different IP's.the number of events ranges anywhere from 11 to 515.
View 4 Replies View RelatedBrute Force UDP Attack On SSH Port. . Possible/why
Nov 24, 2007my server is being brute force attacked at port 22.. It caused my server to be blocked by my ISP's upstream...
at first I follow the instruction on this forum showthread.php?t=456571 (can't post link)
but then I realized (from the upstream email, I don't have access to any log on their side) that it was UDP.. not TCP.. but it was said to be brute force attack on SSH port.
Now all I do is moved ssh port.. and then limit the max connection per minute to port 22/UDP like on the above tutorial page..
Is that enough? I can't use IPTables to permit specific IPs, I'm pretty much very mobile so my own IP is different each time.
Any ideas why UDP attack?
Is it possible that brute force attack turned out to be UDP protocol? cause if it's not, then I think my ISP/its upstream can't be trusted..
Avoiding Port Scanning And Brute Force
Oct 28, 2009I get a lot of messages from CSF about Port Scanning and Bruteforce detection.. Is there a way to avoid all of these attacks ? Because it tries to figure out my clients ftp or pop3 user with several usernames, i.e. administrator, postgres, mysql, httpd, and many more..
I know a little about internet security.. Is it possible to make my public IP of shared hosting untraceable ? Like this one..
Just do a ping to ebay.com or paypal.com and then you will receive RTO message or Destination host unreachable, but actually the site is running well..
IIS FTP Brute Force Attack How To Prevent At Network Level
Jan 21, 2008I am getting a few hundred IIS 6.0 FTP login attempts a second on my windows 2003 x64 server.
We have a Sonicwall TZ180, a full IPS and Firewall in front of the server but I cannot determine a way to block these attacks. I simply have port 25 open to all ip addresses, as I do not know a range of valid ips.
Is there any way to prevent these attacks at the firewall/hardware level? I suspect not, because the firewall doesn’t know if a login attempt is valid or not.
I have enabled IPS on the firewall but doesn’t appear to be stopping these attacks. Is there any way to automatically ban ips that hit port 25 X number of times in a second?
Best Firewall For DDoS Attacks
Mar 23, 2009My sites are getting heavy DDoS attacks.
What's the best firewall? I'm currently using ACH software firewall but the attacks are getting so bad my site's are going down (apache is shutting down/locking) and sometimes my server even crashes.
Anyone recommend a better software firewall or a really cheap but good hardware firewall?
Could my host just use a router or something as the firewall or would that not do? I'm looking for something really affordable as a solution.
Protect Companies Servers From Brute Attack?
Jun 30, 2008Alright so we have found someone hacking web hosting companies servers by brute attack.
How do we protect ourselves from this and all other hacking attacks?
Do You Recommend A Software Firewall When Behind A Hardware Firewall
Dec 17, 2008Do you recommend a software firewall when behind a hardware firewall?
All of our servers are behind Cisco ASA 5505 firewalls which we rent from Liquidweb. All are being managed correctly and setup to there optimal levels. With hardware firewalls firmly in place, do you still recommend a software firewall such as APF or IPTables (we're talking linux); in our opinion we see it as an extra administration overhead. If this is however untrue, we will change out thinking.
Firewall - Kerio Or Windows Firewall
Jun 13, 2008I've found a dedicated server at a great price and plan to stick with it, my first ( already have 2 vps accounts ). I don't have the money for a hardware firewall. However, I do have a chance to renew a Kerio WinRoute Firewall license from way back.
Does anyone think this would be better than the default windows 2003 firewall?

With DoS Attacks
Oct 26, 2007I'm getting DoS attacks on my new dedicated server and I've had about 600 emails from my server about IP bannings. I can't even access my server via WHM at all at the moment! The sites are still online and the server is up but I can't log into WHM. What can I do to remedy this?
Also I can't quite understand why anyone would conduct a DoS attack in the first place...
What To Do With The Brutal Force Data
Feb 19, 2007I would like to know what you do with your BFD data?
when you receive an alert message with IP of who tried to hack your server:
- do you just ignore?
- do you send a message of it abuses for the responsible for IP?
I sent for a long time messages of it abuses, but never nobody answered...
is that normal? when will anybody make something against these people?
Manually Force DNS Change
Jul 24, 2007we're using a subdomain to point to one of our server's IP. (gaming purposes).
And people use this subdomain to connect to the game server.
However, We are going to move to a new server soon with a different IP.
I know, only thing I have to do is change the IP of the subdomain to point to the new server, however I know this will take like 1 to 48 hours to fully work.
Is there a way to force people who's still connecting to the OLD Ip to go to the new IP?
DNS DDoS Attacks
Mar 9, 2008I have a VPS that's on the awknet network and I'm receiving DNS DDoS and I don't think they have anything to stop these attacks, how can I prevent these?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMail Attacks
May 9, 2007I seem to be getting a lot of mail attacks to accounts located on the server. However, most of the email addresses do not exist and therefore the emails are bouncing back and getting stuck in my mail queue manager. There are something like 20 emails per minute getting stacked up in there and it is causing a massive load on the server.
How can I stop these attacks?
JaMaYcKa Attacks Again.
May 22, 2007my webserver defaced with this persons name all over my site.
I was reading and it said JaMaYcKa does this things through a cPanel bug.
Apparently our entire host has been hacked too. I'm very dissapointed as I was on the verge of starting one of my most biggest projects and now it's gone. :'(
Sendmail - Force The Reply-to And From: Headers
May 20, 2009How can I force sendmail to ignore it when a user sets the From: and Reply-to: headers for an email, such as a PHP script? I would like to force it so it always uses whatever email I set.
I cannot seem to find how to do this... sendmail config is quite difficult.
Lighttpd Force File Download IE
Feb 2, 2008we are running a file sharing service and use lighttpd as a web server
the problem is that in Internet Explorer are some files i.e. .mpg, .pdf
and others opened directly in the browser
so is there a way to prevent this behavior(to force the browser to
download the file) by setting headers (or something else) in
lighttpd.conf?
