Is it possible for a remote user to get usernames and password of a Linux server via brute force?
How to prevent a brute force login? In my server log, I have the following lines: Dec 18 15:58:41 Elvira sshd[7782]: Illegal user paul from 219.93.236.130 Dec 18 15:58:41 Elvira sshd[7782]: Failed none for illegal user paul from 219.93.236.130 port 47212 Dec 18 15:58:43 Elvira sshd[7782]: Failed password for illegal user paul from 219.93.236.130 port 47212 Dec 18 15:58:54 Elvira sshd[7784]: Illegal user andrew from 219.93.236.130 Dec 18 15:58:54 Elvira sshd[7784]: Failed none for illegal user andrew from 219.93.236.130 port 47217 Dec 18 15:58:56 Elvira sshd[7784]: Failed password for illegal user andrew from 219.93.236.130 port 47217 Thanks in advance.
