Blocking of IP addresses trying to login
Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2019 7:59 pm
I regularly face situations where some accounts change into a lockout mode due to external servers trying to login guessing passwords. While the lockout prevents the attacker to run many password attempts, the affected user is frustrated as he is not able to login anymore until his account is unlocked again.
Is there a way to identify and block the IP address where the failed attempts are coming from as well as raise an alert via mail and clear identification in a log file?
What is best practice to block repeated failed logins?
