It's a brute force start of the first Monday of June 2013
 

The fucking brute force attacks on my Wordpress installs have gotten even worse.

After weeks of brute force attacks on my WP Multi install it was finally broken in to yesterday.

The attacks had gotten so bad that it was actually causing Apache to reset on my server.

I installed the plugin Login Security Solution last week which really helped. One of the things it does is to disable the login for a time after X amount of attacks which solved the problem of Apache getting overloaded with requests.

But the fuckers still managed to get again today. Login Security Solution immediately logged them out both times and I had to reset my password before I could login.

Can't imagine how they were able to guess my user name since I changed it yesterday to something not in the dictionary along with my password that looks something like hgkeafgabrgfiuLUGKGgkj568587687%^%^%&*^&*!kkjkjJJJK:K:54551.

This morning I made it so that only someone from my IP can login which seems to have put an end to the attacks. My IP does change but very rarely so hopefully this will put an end to this bullshit until Wordoress comes out with an update to deal with this crap.

Hopefully I can spend the rest of today working on my AVS site and other stuff instead of dealing with this Wordpress bot.

That sucks Cleo. I don't know how they got your username if it is that long and random. Could you have a trojan on your PC? Somebody penetrate your wireless network and run subterfuge? A zero day wordpress exploit wordpress hasn't patched yet?

I rename my wp-login.php to something else. Then rename it back to wp-login.php when ready to use again.

All Macs here and no port forwarding to any Mac that actually has anything of value on it. Plus everything here has really strong passwords. I do see about a thousands hack attempts a day into our home network though. None of them get past our firewall/router.

If you Google Wordpress Brute Force you will get lots of returns.

Here is a vid. He is selling his solution but the vid does pretty much sum up what is going on right now.

Monday! |waves|

No Brute Force Attacks here, but The Bitch did mention that she might want me to do that to her later today |thumb

Had a nice brunch with my step-daughter yesterday for her birthday. This was my gift to her |lol|

Just work for me today, until The Bitch gets home :D

Is that like Gold Bond Triple Action Medicated Body Powder? Living in the tropics it becomes your best friend.

Good day all.

Was away all last week so I wasn't online much at all then when I got home Saturday night I had to move out of my Montreal condo Sunday so really busy times all around.

Good Day :)
Same ole crap going on here, nothing seems to change lately.

More demolition work for me today.
I feel a bit burned-out the last week or so. Could be the lack of sleep I've had over the last 5 months. Maybe all I need is a good nights sleep, or some anti-monkey butt powder...

Other than that all is good here :)
