I have been attacked by brute force hackers several times in the last couple of weeks since getting my rackshack server (yes I'm a newbie).

I have had 4 password posted on password boards.

I want to stop this and have no idea how short of importing logs into excel and manually adding to apf. This is becoming cumbersome and I know there must be an easy, cheap and/or free way to help me with this.

If anyone knows of one amy help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

is this root password for SSH?

I havent done this but im sure its an easy process... only allow your IP to access SSH.

they are doing it through my sign-in page in my members area

Are they brute forcing an HTTP Authentication system? Who made it? I suggest using a custom solution that will disable accounts when more than 3 passwords are tried.

And when you let members make passwords, make sure they are good passwords. There are some scripts that will check this out there.

I have no idea.

Who made it?

Globill (for a short time longer) and 2000 Charge.

I understand, what I need is a program/script cheap/free that will do this.

bustygirl, where's the avitar??????

??

<-------Avitar, that little picture over there!

if not using SSL (just like the BRAND NEW livesupport) could be easily sniffed with a tool on the Internet, no matter if we're in switched network, I don't know how rackshack handles this kind of stuff or they just don't care about people sniffing around

as for me I'd be interested in knowing if they're snorting for people trying to deface or crack boxes

I know it's not among the Terms of Service, but I'd like to know

any word from HeadSurfer about this?

Yeah, I'll bet you have installed it on your domains. It's your damn script!
