Subject: Login attacks
Hello
In my LogWatch report I get many login attacks, many from the same IP address.
sshd: Authentication Failures: root (218.232.109.187): 59 Time(s) adm (218.232.109.187): 2 Time(s) apache (218.232.109.187): 1 Time(s) nobody (218.232.109.187): 1 Time(s) operator (218.232.109.187): 1 Time(s) Invalid Users: Unknown Account: 43 Time(s)
I have permitRootLogin set to NO, and I use strong passwords, but can I just add these IP addresses to hosts.deny?
and if so how would I set that up
I set SSHd to a non standard port way up the chain and changed my firewall rules. No more problems.
