"Authentication failed" Notification.
"Authentication failed" Notification.
I would like an easy "Authentication failed" notification -- either whenever it fires or when the "max" amount is reached. We get an average of no less than ~10 per day (max out). 95+% are attempted break-ins. I want to be notified so I can quickly determine if it is legitimate or a break-in. Especially "who" is attempting to break in an what method (sometimes logs are flooded with connections). Tonight we had added > 50 IP's to either the outside firewall (assumed black listed countries) or the HMS IP restrictions (big 3 day weekend here so I assume they think we are lax and going for a major break-in).
Normally we go with a 3 strike rule and auto-ban them for an hour. If the IP is not a user we manually ban the IP for a week. If on the black list they are banned permanently.
We just want to know if it is a local user or an attempted break-in so we can react more quickly to try and improve security and help normal users.
A partial list of attempted break-ins banned for 1 week:

Re: "Authentication failed" Notification.
Oh yeah, also would like to "easily" customize the "Name" of the IP address list -- and if possible the services available (auto-deselect the email options for a "banned" IP/range).
As you can see from above we use "Temp-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" as the name. That gives us a quick look at what is listed as "banned" and how long. If we see a log that still contains numerous attempted connections (sometimes 100+) we look at the banned list and if a match we then go to the outside firewall and ban them from getting inside the local network. And of course we set the priority (we use 50 as it is "Temp" and only use 0-100) and HMS uses 20 which is too low for us.
We have flood protection but usually that never seems to fire so it appears it is just attempted logins that are dropped by HMS but the auto-retry.
Moral of the novel here is we would like more granular control over the logins (or attempted) so we can improve security by a big margin.

Re: "Authentication failed" Notification.
Once you ban an IP address you will NOT see the IP address in ANY log until the ban expire. The built-in Auto-Ban in HMS is not perfect and there are many cases I'd like to see it in action - and eventually I'll probably do something about it...tohare wrote:Oh yeah, also would like to "easily" customize the "Name" of the IP address list -- and if possible the services available (auto-deselect the email options for a "banned" IP/range).

I get, from time to time, a ton of connects from various IP's and that's it, no more... Except perhaps 2-300 lines in my logs.
I have thought of writing some scriptlets using SQLite to capture date/time and IP address and if excessive connects occur in a short timespan, ban the IP...
I guess that is what you call flood protection ??
Anyways, I use 2 failed logons on the premise that username/password are configured in the client and should not change. Webmail is a complete other story, I had a plugin (Defense) for Roundcube but it has some issues with the latest 1.2.1 and you can't ban the IP address of the webmail server

Re: "Authentication failed" Notification.
Yes they are tcp connections. They reach your HMS but HMS fails to respond to them due to them being on the autoban list. If you dont want those connections reaching HMS then you need to block them at firewall level. But even then, it doesnt stop the incoming connection from the source, it will just be blocked at the firewall instead of at HMS (and you wont see it unless you look at firewall logs if enabled). The benefit is, though, that it will not take up the sockets on the HMS server leaving your server free from the hassle of dealing with them within HMS.
Mainly, though, these connections usually drop within a few minutes (you notice its a flood-attack) and usually doesnt happen (or at worst is rare) or pose a problem.

Re: "Authentication failed" Notification.
Jimmy,
Yes, I know, and I do ban them at the firewall when I see this in a log. I could not help myself. I saw this line above from Soren and smiled "Once you ban an IP address you will NOT see the IP address in ANY log until the ban expire" OK, I am bad, but I got a smile out of it...

Re: "Authentication failed" Notification.
Of course, the simplest answer is turn off TCPIP logging.

Er... If you use Roundcube this is the "thing" I use(d).. There are some new functionalities in 1.2.1 that sort of handles part of it; flooding, so I might just activate the plugin again.

Love the massive amount of code for that one PIA user. Then again I have seen that user in the log more times than I care to admit. Seems that user name generates more spam then any other.

Well, you could do a manual BAN FOR LIFE (or somtime around 2025) on the single IP address.tohare wrote:Love the massive amount of code for that one PIA user. Then again I have seen that user in the log more times than I care to admit. Seems that user name generates more spam then any other.
I generally make rules for automation as I don't really bother gazing at the logs all day
I go through the sytem SPAM folder via webmail every day to catch FP's but that's generally it... Unless I get a brain fart and dissect last months logfiles..
