Take a look at OSSEC-HIDS. It can do some active blocking for X amount of time after Y unsuccessful attempts. Plus much more.HTH iamnowonmai 2009/3/21 Shaun Curry <shauncurry1 at gmail.com>
Hello all! Does anyone have suggestions for my current situation? I have found that someone has been trying to brute-force login to my FTP Server, so far they have been unsuccessful. I don't think they are using any tools or software to do this. They have just been using a user name like administrador and trying passwords til it times out. I have blocked his IP, but that can be changed easily. I have his IP and thats about it. Can I simple change the port that my FTP connects on? This should reduce the risk of someone "stumbling" onto my ftp, right? Any ideas on a cheap IDS (aka free) system that might catch something like this in the future. Thanks Shaun _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
