The best FREE program I've ever installed on my server.

3 replies
On average, there are a dozen attempts to hack into my server daily. I know this because I have a FREE software system installed on my server that monitors and blocks ip's that attempt to use password software to access my system.

I suggest you ask your host to set this up for you.

"CP HULK MOD Security"

This is a typical report I get back from the server every time an attempt is made and prevented....

    Nice tip. I've found that even among servers of mine that are extremely low-value targets, I get all kinds of people playing games with my security. What's worse is when law enforcement and the attacker's ISP prove to be completely useless in addressing the problem. It's always left to the server owner to figure out solutions like this unless you happen to be a Fortune 500 company or government network admin. Really frustrating.
