The biggest problem with this approach is that even tho I could ban whole Asia and Russia, a significant part of the attacks do not originate from there, but from countries like USA, UK, etc, controlled by hackers (also) from the aforementioned areas... The latest case of password breaking I had to deal with was from an USA IP address.. they managed to insert an iframe in all index.html and index.php files on the respective FTP account. The iframe however was pointing to a .ru website hosted in France.. Isn't globalization fun?! Anyway, just banning ranges of IP addresses may not enough, so to rely on this _only_ would be careless. > > -- > Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany > Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >
