Picking up a lot of failed authentications for various accounts
- by Josh K
My server is getting a lot of various failed authentication attempts for various accounts. The most common one (that I've seen ) or the root account.
I have since enabled Fail2Ban and ran several rootkit / malware checks to ensure I wasn't compromised. Is there anything else I should do? I only have three accounts enabled, and SSH access for only two. I have a full 48hr ban on anyone making more then six failed SSH login attempts. I do not have FTP enabled.
