[Server Protection] Firewall question
| Posted by KristiKristo, 03-27-2011, 04:21 PM | | Hello Everyone
I have some question related to server protection. Which FireWall should I install on it? How can I monitor my server? How can I prevent attacks?
Regards

| Posted by bvsonline, 03-27-2011, 11:30 PM | | CSF is definitely a one shot answer in case of Cpanel servers, you can configure CSF with LFD ( login failure daemon)
Login Failure Daemon (lfd) process that runs all the time and periodically (every X seconds) scans the latest log file entries for login attempts against your server that continually fail within a short period of time. Such attempts are often called "Brute-force attacks" and the daemon process responds very quickly to such patterns and blocks offending IP's quickly.
Login tracking is an extension of lfd, it keeps track of POP3 and IMAP logins and limits them to X connections per hour per account per IP address.
