We have been picking up a lot of brute-force FTP login and authentication attempts against the Administrator account of our honeypots.This post is just to remind administrators that sometimes, it is the small things that tend to make big holes. In this case, it is always a good idea to implement stricter measures in password usage particularly in setting up temporary passwords for new accounts. http://www.philippinehoneynet.org/data.php Ryan Talabis -- The Philippine Honeynet Project http://www.philippinehoneynet.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: SensePostHacking, like any art, will take years of dedicated study and practice to master.
