    You really should install CSF/LFD as cPhulk is well... shite.

    Dropping all Chinese packets will stop 90% of your brute force attacks.

    Unfortunately I would agree. I really wished that the Chinese ISP's would respond to abuse reports.

  • @nunim we using APF + Externel firewall we have on every server

  • Properly configuring CSF+LFD will keep the spam to a slight minimum. Still nice to see if an IP is blocked. Incase it was me on accident. After X attempts ban etc. CSF+LFD is very versatile. Properly configured, that is.

    I get more brute force alert emails than I care for. Thats just trying to break into cPanel on a LSN ip space...

    Just block it and move on. We have all encountered this at-least once.

    Some ranges are scanned a lot more then others, for instance my SingleHop IPs are hit more often then any other VPS I have. CSF/LFD really does a great job.

    I'm still working on setting up a LFD cluster, I feel this will help take the load off infrastructure quite a bit, just seems to be a pain with a few /24's.

    I'm trying to decide if I should do clustering per node or per /24 as ranges are usually scanned consecutively.

    Seems to be doing a poor job if you're getting that many emails about the same IP.

  • Well, my wordpress used to have a failed login attempt about 2000times/day.

  • Do you know CSF is?

  • I remember the first time I saw these emails, I freaked! ;)

    It's trivial nowadays. What's a day without these like? Couldn't tell you myself! lol
