Yesterday we had an attempting hacking from Sweden, I contacted the small ISP and sent them my logs.
Wow they responded and took care of this like a responsible company.
I wish all ISP's would act this way, maybe we could wipe out this GD mess.
Thanks Sweden.
they got caught trying to hack us but my scripts logged him and banned the ip address and it just stopped.
brute force hacking is what its called.
here is the log:
The remote system 213.50.52.14 was found to have exceeded acceptable login failures on worm.sim-outhouse.com; there was 61 events to the service pure-ftpd. As such the attacking host has been banned from further accessing this system. For the integrity of your host you should investigate this event as soon as possible.
Executed ban command:
/etc/apf/apf -d 213.50.52.14 {bfd.pure-ftpd}
The following are event logs from 213.50.52.14 on service pure-ftpd (all time stamps are GMT -0400):
