In case you wondering, that was 534 attempts to break in in a matter of a few seconds over a couple of periods in the day. Hundreds of IP addresses all at once. And yes, ALL of those different IP addresses ended up as banned IP RANGES after their 2nd attempt.

So it shows how resilient HMS is!

I took a look at their authentication attempts and the usernames were all one of the following:

"sales"
"sales@mail.mydomain.com"
"info@mail.mydomain.com".

They had assumed that once they found "mydomain.com", they then assumed there was an MX of "mail.mydomain.com" (which there isnt!), and the stuck the usual 'sales' or 'info' before it. And then they sent it to my mailserver ip address which has no dns record matching 'mydomain.com' pointing to it so how they linked 'mail.mydomain.com' and our ip address together, who knows?!

I have 1 failed attempt in 24 hours on the 7'th...

Mind you... "AUTH LOGIN" is not an option on the standard ports of my server, so the bugger found my other ports by chance ...

Dont get me wrong this is very rare (but not unknown). I would normally expect (on experience) just 1 a day. If that.

A BOT with a BUG

Not very likely that a chinese service (185.com used to be a dialup service I used back in '01-'02) should send emails via a Telecom Italia business subscription...

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-01-07 20:47

There is a 'machine' that has been trying every day for the last 2 weeks to 'break in' to our system by guessing usernames WITH (what it thinks is correct for) our domain and leaving big gaps between attempts before retrying (to avoid auto-ban). It also seems to be rotating the usual usernames such as

contact@
sales@
manager@
info@
support@
shop@
test@

and slowly changing and guessing the passwords.

Extract from the MANY attempts per day for the last two weeks:

"SMTPD" 3896 14716 "2015-12-28 12:27:23.791" "80.82.65.61" "SENT: 220 Northcote SMTP"

Further lookups show it his happening to others too from this same user: http://www.abuseipdb.com/check/80.82.65.61

(Ive added a long term ban for this IP range.)

Hi Jimmy,
I can confirm your observations.My Postfix SMTP-Server was also hit by this series of wrong login attemps.I decided to close the ports 143/587 by Firewall and allow only IP's from a specific subnet (our ISP) to connect. So i have to defend port 25 only.

Dravion · Post by **Dravion** » 2016-01-08 16:23

I found out thadt 95% of this wrong login attemps are located in china or russia, so i blocked the
whole russian and chineese ips at all. I will watch it for a few days and report back how this is working
out.

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-01-08 16:39

This particular address I posted above is coming from the Netherlands as it happens.

tochi · Post by **tochi** » 2016-01-08 20:21

My clients are all using port 587 to send emails so I disabled authentication on port 25 by specifying DisableAUTHList in hmailserver.ini. It eliminates 99% of brute force attack. No idea why those attackers are not smart enough to try port 587.

Code: Select all

[Settings]
DisableAUTHList=25
; Comma delimited list of SMTP ports to disable AUTH EHLO response banner & command
; Default if not defined is SMTP AUTH enabled on all SMTP ports
; NOTE: Disables AUTH Plain as well

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28032&p=174183&hili ... leAUTHList

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-01-08 23:27

I assume that even if that had guessed the password, they would then try sending out spam emails from our box. Well what is stopping them from trying to do that anyway (without trying to authenticate first despite "250-AUTH LOGIN" being sent from HMS)? Isnt disabling this auth option on 25 just tackling those bots that dare try to authenticate? Many bots try to send mail from your box anyway without attempting to authenticate and even then your are still at the mercy of your IP RANGE settings (as you would be even if they authenticate). And... what if they DID try on 587? You would still be then at the mercy of them guessing the password and then the IP RANGE settings.

Im open to being convinced its worth the effort. Discuss (please explain to me the thinking of this being better)

EDIT:
First post of sorens, above:

Proof that they DO still try other ports other than port 25.

tochi · Post by **tochi** » 2016-01-09 00:29

Previously I thought that hackers would try on port 587 too. But most of them didn't from my experience. The immediate effect I noticed is that the number of auto ban entries were greatly reduced. 99% of them were gone. 99 is a great number already, isn't it?

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-01-09 01:33

Indeed it is. I see the 'benefit' from this statistical point of view.

But I dont see the benefit from a functionality. Sure it cuts down the list of 'auto-ban' entries but so what? Having these dont really have an overhead (especially if you dont LOOK at the list and just let HMS get on with doing its job).

Ive done a test:

WITHOUT the DisableAUTHlist
spambot:
HELO...
MAIL FROM:
send ok
RCPT TO:
send 530 authentication required
QUIT

or

HELO...
MAIL FROM:
send ok
RCPT TO:
send 530 authentication required
AUTH LOGIN
recv [failed credentials]
send Authentication failed...sod off!
( + ban ip if they try again)

or

HELO...
AUTH LOGIN
recv [failed credentials]
send Authentication failed...sod off!
( + ban ip if they try again)

WITH the DisableAUTHlist
HELO...
MAIL FROM:
send ok
RCPT TO:
send 530 authentication required
QUIT

or

HELO...
MAIL FROM:
send ok
RCPT TO:
send 530 authentication required
AUTH LOGIN
send Authentication not enabled

or

HELO...
AUTH LOGIN
recv [failed credentials]
send Authentication not enabled!

In all cases they either fail to get in because they fail an authentication (and get banned) or because authentication just isnt allowed (and not reaching the auto-ban entry stage). Any other scenario is the same (at the mercy of IP RANGES allowing them to connect and send to/from that domain). But of course then there would always be the port that you DO have opened with authentication allowed then this setting is irrelevant.

My first post in this thread was put there to demonstrate how robust HMS is in handling failed authentication attempts. Im not poo-pooing the DisableAUTHport setting but for me I dont see the benefit to me (because I dont care about the number of 'auto-ban' entries in the list. I simply dont look). I do see from that link you posted earlier, though, that it did help some guy where he doesnt have the ability to override a machine's configuration that automatically responds when seeing "250-AUTH LOGIN". That was a good reason to use it.

tochi · Post by **tochi** » 2016-01-09 01:47

Some benefits of DisableAUTHport:
The chance of being hacked is reduced.
It's much easier to locate the blocked entry which is from a valid client in a list with fewer entries.
The common email account names like sales, service, info won't get locked frequently if Active Directory authentication is used.

Something for you all to think about...

Mailservers monitor SMTP ports and use autoblock/autoban... All well and dandy...

Webmail monitor login attempts and use autoblock/autoban ??? NOOOOOO, if they do, they block the IP of the webmail and innocent users will suffer... Bummer !

He he... Use a brute force password program on the webmail and when an account is cracked - oh well - SMTP is now open...

Unless... Well, I'm using https://github.com/stalks/roundcube-defense ... Old but still functional...

PS. Wording, spelling & gramma may not be up to my usual standard... Currently suffering 4 weeks with a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis - imagine your shoulder nailed shut 24/7) popping paracetamol and morphine every 6 hours. Hopefully it should resolve itself within the next 3 years. The most annoying thing is the pink elephant behind me reading over my shoulder when I type...

SorenR wrote:Unless... Well, I'm using https://github.com/stalks/roundcube-defense ... Old but still functional...

So in essence you are saying that all the auto-ban settings in the world on MTA's such as hmailserver are irrelevant if the spambots want to to attack the unprotected webmail clients (webmail clients should be immunised from ip blocking in the MTA). Personally I dont use Roundcube (or webmail generally) but I think that plugin you referred to should be made more prominent for Roundcude users. Looking VERY useful.

Frozen shoulder: Oooh. Just googled it. Bad times for your Soren. Hope it gets better soon (18 months expected but could be up to 3 years apparently). In the meantime, to help with your typing, perhaps you could ask the pink elephant to put down his juggling sticks and do the typing for you with one of his 8 arms. (I assume this elephant appears every 6 hours or so....

)

Dravion · Post by **Dravion** » 2016-01-10 00:17

I think it would be a great improvement if we could implement a feature which restrict changes on th e userid after a failed login attempt and after 3 failed trys the ip will be blacklisted for some time.For new userid password combinations you should allways need to establish a new connection which will only be allowed if your ip is not blacklisted in the first place.

mattg · Post by **mattg** » 2016-01-10 03:54

but only for a webmail IP...

I get heaps of attacks from external IP's where they try different usernames from the same IP address - I'd like them all Autobanned after the first failed attempt (as currently happens)
I wouldn't like to entertain these bots by having any further conversation with them.

There is also captcha (or re-captcha) or similar that can be added to webmail log on forms to limit bot atacks

rlevis · Post by **rlevis** » 2016-01-24 03:02

I hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but anyone else getting lots more spam in the last few weeks not being detected as spam? I rarely saw spam in my inbox in the last couple of years but now half my inbox emails are spam. Perhaps some of the DNS blacklists are not working anymore? I use

zen.spamhaus.org (5)
bl.spamcop.net (3)
bb.barracudacentral.org (3)
dnsbl.sorbs.net (3)
hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com (3)

Also multi.surbl.org in SURBL servers.

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-01-24 12:44

I dont think there is anything wrong with the blacklists as such. 'Spam' (which itself is subjective to opinion about what is and what is not) often gets sent from bots and these blacklists are reactive - that is to say they only blacklist addresses once they have been detected. So naturally there is a period of time between initial release/publication of spam and when the blacklists detect it and add them. Maybe there is just a new spam code released which is more prevalent.

I have exactly the same blacklists as you and dont see much of a change in incoming frequency - I am experiencing the same level of 'break through' spam/malware as before. That said I also use spamassassin and a new found wonder-virus detection system that it is detecting many Zero-hour threat/new releases really quickly (and consequently removing the attachments). (Look for 'ClamAV with sanesecurity' if your interested).

I did note that one of our users who up to now could proudly say she was never targeted by spam has somehow in this last 3 weeks now ended up on the same list of addresses that the spammers use and starts receiving 'stock value to rise so BUY NOW!', 'here is your invoice, please open it (and let us steal your bank details or blackmail you)' and 'here's your answer to get a big willy' (mildly amusing for a 25 year old girl to receive). Personally, I blame eBay and paypal. Its not the first time I have seen that a single innocent transaction with an outlet on there has ended up with the email address (usually the one associated with the paypal account) on a list and immediately spam ensues to that address. (And I KNOW it is from this because the address used was exclusive to paypal payments - I use a disposable address form like "my.pseudonym-paypal@yahoo.com" so I can delete it if the spam becomes uncontrollable). And I know this use has had an increased interesting in using her address to buy off ebay recently. (She's the bosses daughter.

)

Summary, I dont think that there is a problem with the blacklists failing to work. Maybe your addresses have just recently found themselves on to a new spam list of addresses (just like my user above).

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-03-02 19:59

Well, I am a few days in to an experiement. The experiment was (amongst other things) to prove a theory I had that I based on previous experince (ie, "it did it really happen like that"?

The background: the theory was that spambots research DNS for MX records and target whatever they find. Why did I think this? Well, initially I didnt have MX pointing to my mail server (as it only collected mails via External Download) although the server was still open on port 25 (it just wasnt advertised). Then I went through a period of time of turning on direct deliveries (pointing my MX record to the server). Consequently I saw a dramatic increase in attempts to break in and send spam email out (external to external). After this period of time, I changed our IP address and pointed MX back to our external provider (going back to external downloads) but, again, left the server open to port 25 but simply didnt advertise it. A consequence of this was that spambots no longer had my ip address 'on file' and nor did they find it in MX records. The result was that I barely got any 'door knocking' or attempted breakins- maybe only 3 or 4 a day.

So my conclusion was that spambots resource a lot of their mailservers direct from DNS MX records (instead of just relying on port knocking of ip addresses).

On sunday, I repeated the experiment: I turned back on direct inbound deliveries and pointed our MX records at the server again. And more or less immediately in the first I get many spambot attempts. Thankfully the DNSBL and SURBL settings do a brill job of stopping most of them in their tracks. Spot the counts of 'rejections' in the daily logs in the 2 weeks leading up to 29th February, then see the jump after I went direct (from 1st March):

I have Auth over port 25 disabled
This is in my hMailserver.ini >>

Code: Select all

DisableAUTHList=25

I am getting hundreds of these in my logs. The IP changes occasionally
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is my public IP address

Code: Select all

I think that I will Autoban these on the fly...

Yeah, I have commented before on using this 'DisableAUTHList' - I dont see the point. Im not sure how much benefit this feature gives (minimal I would think).

Why not just not use it, and let autoban do the banning anyway after its first failed login attempt? (one incorrect attempt, automatic ban). No hassles then. (What if they dont bother to attempt login and just try to send the email anyway like many spambots attempt - then they would still be subject to spam checking and you wouldnt even have the choice of autobanning them).

I think that I will Autoban these on the fly...

No point in banning them after the attack, they usually change between each attack. I have blocked AUTH on port 25 also.

However, yes it would be nice to autoban on 1'st attempt... I have had one attack this month so far... 740'ish logon attempts from 3 IP addresses in 2 hours...

Ok so to be fair to all I turned on DISABLEAUTHLIST setting as a trial to see how we get on.

As expect, it is simply not worth the negatives. Im turning it off as I dont see the benefits but I do see downsides:

Robots clearly do not know when "no means no" and will continue to keep trying (in the above case every 4 minutes) potentially endlessly. This uses up connection threads and log file space. That is 5 lines (on this 1 ip address alone) every 4 minutes. And I can tell you there are SEVEN addresses coming from this client range (155.133.82.xx) alone. Imagine how unnecessarily filled these log files are getting (360 lines of logging PER ADDRESS per day PER ADDRESS). Mattg also has said of this weekend viewtopic.php?p=186679#p186679

mattg wrote:just for giggles I checked my logs for 504 Auth not allowed rejections, some 16500 rejections so far this month, some 3000 over the space of 3.5 hours yesterday from a single IP address in Canada.

And for what? Just to avoid a SINGLE little red entry in the autoban list?

The alternative (without disableauthlist):

HELO
AUTH LOGIN
.
.
Failed, Retry...
AUTH LOGIN
.
P1SS OFF, YOUR'E BANNED!

No more logging. Problem solved.

And the other benefit? "Risk of password being guessed": if you have autoban set correctly (low attempts and long period between retries and ban period) then this doesnt matter. And of course, using proper password helps.

I remain firmly unconvinced.

I imagine it is good for those that want complete autonomy without the worry password cracking if they dont care about looking at their logs....and as long as they dont care about the content of those logs. (We dont advise disabling SMTP logging for obvious reasons).

THE SOLUTION

Now, if this DISABLEAUTHPORT rejection also adds an autoban entry at the same time?? THAT is an idea and solves ALL the problems.

AUTH LOGIN
.
504 P1ss off. Also you are trying to 'auth logon' even though I never advertised it so your banned from trying again!"

We have some 2000 annual deaths due do MVA in Australia. I Guess the 1900 odd that aren't in that graphic are the fault of a human somewhere.
And then there is other human caused death (violence, workplace accidents, medical negligence, etc...)

SorenR,

I particularly like the 'there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont'.

Most people wouldn't get this statement on first reading as they would interpret '10' as 'Ten' which wouldn't make much sense for the rest of the sentence.

But those who do understand Binary when looking back at the full sentence will realize '10' is Binary 2 which then makes the sentence understandable. If you understand Binary this is one type of person and if you don't understand Binary then this is the second type of person. However the sentence in itself is a false statement as there are more than Two Types of people in this world unless you are close minded and don't believe any other type of person could exist. And even if the '10' was more properly written as 10 Base 2 those who don't understand Binary will still probably not understand the sentence.

Type 1 is those who understand Binary
Type 2 is those who DON'T understand binary.

How can there be a third option.
Is that those who can understand binary, but pretend not to understand, so they don't appear too nerdy? (subgroup of type 1), or
Those who don't understand binary, and pretend to understand it for reasons known only to themselves (subgroup of type 2)

I'm not sure that anyone's understanding of Binary is fluid, like perhaps gender can be. Although the kids that are 'gender fluid' say that their gender is 'non-binary'.

Well, I could Google all of them

The first thing I learned while studying for my BSc.EE back in the 80's was not to remember everything but know where to find it... That was WAY before Google... We got a connection to EARN via a 9600 bps modem link to the Danish hub down to Germany and the transatlantic connection to BITNET and NETNORTH... Then we could go hunting in the ListServ archives for references on a total of 1.400 computers world-wide.

I was at one time accused by Henry Nussbacher for being a hacker as I had lifted some GDDM applications from Weizman Institute of Science in Israel during a PVM session ... it was a Pac-Man game written for IBM VM/CMS mainframes to be run on IBM 3179G terminals. Back in 1984 IT security was a padlock on the door to the computer room

Anyway the game sucked, our IBM 4331 was way to small and slow to play the game even though I allocated all resources to myself and kicked all the other users off the system

Yeah, I had operator status = I AM GOD!

But do they understand binary or not? Just because you understand another base, it doesnt exclude them from understanding (or not understanding) binary. (A bit like saying just because they speak english, they cant speak French. Of course they could if they choose to learn it. Multilingual but still french speaking. But those that understand binary irrespective of whether they understand base 7 or 9 or anything else, is still type 1 and everyone else is type 2. Just as anyone speaking french is a french speaker irrespective of whether they know other languages as well or not.

MattG,

The point was the original statement 'There are 10 types of people (meaning 10 Base 2)' appears to be literally a statement meaning there are only two types of people when there can be many types of people in excess of only two types. True while there could be an infinite number of different types of people, within this infinite set of types of people each type would possess a subset of two types of people, those who understood binary and those who did not. The statement as it stood appears to refer to their only being two types of people which cannot be proved given the reality of all the different types of people you can define.

This reminds me vaguely of a Final Exam in a college philosophy class I took in college where I wrote about whether or not an object can possess more than one color. One would think an object was say red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or violet or in other words one of the colors of the spectrum.
1. One way to look at the color of an object would be to say the color of the object is the color of light which is reflected from the object. Let's say Blue in this case. Therefore this object posses the color Blue or the object in other words is Blue.
2. One way to look at the color of an object would be to say the color of the object is the color(s) which are not reflected from the object. Let's say all the colors of the spectrum but Blue in this case. In this case the object posses more than one color.
3. One way to look at the color of an object would be to look at how a person perceives the color of the object. A color blind person would see the object as a color different from the color of the object perceived by a person who is not color blind.

This bit of reasoning could be construed to show how an object can possess more than one color depending on your definition of what possessing means and what we have been discussing all along is a philosophical answer. Can't remember the grad I got on the paper but this BS got me at least a grade of C or better and of course I passed the course. To show you how BS this class was the only thing we had to do to pass the course was write this one five page Final paper and I wrote about 3.5 pages of actual paper (so to speak) and 1.5 pages of BS conclusions. And to top it off the students (meaning me in this case) got to decide on what they wanted the subject of the paper to be and there was no limit on what the subject could be.

SorenR,

After cluing in on to the reference to computing on the Oct 31 = Dec 25, I immediately understood the joke.

You got me on the You Tube Video clips.

EBCDIC = Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (used primarily in IBM Mainframe OS) and I forgot to ask if you knew what IBM stood for which is International Business Machine.
ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange
COBOL = Common Business Oriented Language
Fortran = Formula Translation
Bit = Binary Integer
Byte = Stands for nothing (not made up from other words as above). Used to avoid confusion with other terms.
URL = Uniform Resource Locator (otherwise known as the address line information on a web browser).

Hexadecimal (meaning base 16) is made up from Hexa (6) and decimal (10) where 10 + 6 = 16 or in other words Base 16.
The Arpanet was the starting of the Internet (or very near the starting) and essentially became (evolved into) the Internet. Arpanet was significant because a US Presidential candidate tried to lay claim to starting the Internet which he did not as the Arpanet was in existence long before he was in the picture.
WWW = World Wide Web (significance of this is because AT&T in one of its commercials claimed the World Wide Web was the Internet. I wrote them and informed them of their lack of knowledge and advised them the World
Wide Web was a set of Hyper Text Documents accessed via the Internet. Hence the World Wide Web was not the Internet. A couple of days later without giving me credit they pulled their commercials stating the World
Wide Web was the Internet.

MattG & SorenR,

Forgot one reference in regards to the philosophical aspect of the Two Types of people understanding or not understanding Binary. It's one of my favorite jokes.

In a job interview for a person applying for an accountant's position, the applicant is asked to answer the question 'What does 2 + 2 equal' to see if he is qualified for the position.
The applicant's answer is 'What do you want it to be'.

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-11-16 11:00

So what was it he wanted it to be? What did they agree?

jim.bus · Post by **jim.bus** » 2016-11-18 06:15

jimimaseye,

The point of the joke was it did not matter what the interviewer wanted it to be. The applicant/prospective accountant would make it whatever the employer wanted it to be. In the accounting world it might be called 'creative accounting' meaning it was the accountant's job to make the books come out to whatever the employer needed the books to reflect in order to be the most beneficial to the employer. By answering 'What do you want it to be' the applicant was demonstrating his cooperativeness and ability to make the books look like whatever the situation might need the books to be that would be most favorable to the employer (this could mean that the 'doctored' books might not be an accurate reflection of the state of the business either). By answering 'What do you want it to be?', the applicant/accountant showed he would look at what the employer needed the end result to be not just what the numbers actually were and come up with a way to make the books look like what the desired end result needed to be from the eimployer's/business' perspective.

jimimaseye · Post by **jimimaseye** » 2016-11-18 12:09

Yes, I understand the joke and the point of it. I just thought I would ask as spoiling a joke and challenging its statements to be factual and explaining with followups is what you wanted.

Only 17 separate IP addresses so far (so 17 out of how many potential millions around the world) but none-the-less they are active and seemingly 'dearching' for something. Possiblybuilding a target list of addresses?

By the way, this is with the 20 second delay on connection (implemented as quoted by Soren).

Looks like a new bot got activated last night:

Ah, the 20 second wait will not kill that one.

A clear sign that the 20 second wait works is that you never get more than "SENT: 220 Northcote SMTP" in the log from that IP Address.

The one you saw, I get too... I'm still working out how to deal with that without having to implement a heavy SQL object. I may end up with a SQLite solution of some sort based on some fancy IDS algorithm.

And yes, they ARE probing your defenses
