	It seems to be a pretty harmless (and rather inefficient) brute force attempt at cracking a password. Nothing to be too worried about. ------------------- ^~xenc. Live bus times on iPhone! - Next Bus London on the App Store

	Even if you didn't have an overly secure password, it still would have been (and was) a pretty harmless attempt. There's not much else you can do apart from maybe denying the IP. ------------------- ^~xenc. Live bus times on iPhone! - Next Bus London on the App Store

	There's not actually that many IPs listed there if you look carefully. There is not a hard limit to the amount of IPs that you can deny, so you should be alright. However, I'm asssuming this hasn't happened since last July (when the logs were created that is), so it shouldn't be too much of a big worry. ------------------- ^~xenc.

Remember when ipshelpers.com was getting bigger and bigger, and when there was a fight going on with Andrew & Aaron? I think people may still be trying to hack into that domain just to hope to get something out of it .. but then again I'm not sure. ------------------- Halo Reach / Metal Gear Solid: Rising

	That was most likely a random port-scan that yielded an open SSH/FTP/whatever port, and then the brute-force attempts were made to gain access into an account through that service. We get this kind of shit on some Neo servers all the time -- quote sshd[80618]: Illegal user attack from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80620]: Illegal user frog from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80622]: Illegal user fox from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80624]: Illegal user seawolf from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80626]: Illegal user dog from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80628]: Illegal user cat from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80630]: Illegal user issue from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80632]: Illegal user work from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80634]: Illegal user power from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80636]: Illegal user lame from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80638]: Illegal user cornel from 66.246.72.145 sshd[80640]: Illegal user ionel from 66.246.72.145 And that's just a small sample -- there were about 2,000 attempts like that. ------------------- [Redemption and ar_cat talking about something dev-related] Redemption: What's the office rule?
