Most days I get script kiddies working on my MS FTP servers with
dictionary attacks.  Zenoss flags these multiple failed login attempts
really well.  My question is, is there a way to get the IP address the
attacker is coming from, into the event?

Currently I see the events on Zenoss and I log into the server, open the
log files and get the IP address so that I can manually block them.  In
a perfect world, I would have the IP address in Zenoss and could script
something to do the block automatically.  A step back from that would be
that I still manually do the block but at least the IP address is right
there in Zenoss.

Eventually we will put Cisco ASA's online which will hopefully eliminate
much of this requirement but, for now, I am hoping that someone can
point me in the correct direction.

 

Thanks;

James
