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 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?
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.
Brute 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..
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?

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

ISP: host-80-241-179-30.deltanet.ge
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)

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..
