We are using the realtime rules on our servers. Since a few days we have a lot of brute force attacks on our joomla installations. Unfortunately the realtime rules are not helping us. I tried it now with rules I found in the net:
Code: Select all
<Location /administrator/index.php>
# Setup brute force detection.
# React if block flag has been set.
SecRule user:bf_block "@gt 0" "deny,status:401,log,msg:'ip address blocked for 5 minutes, more than 15 login attempts in 3 minutes.',id:10011"
# Setup Tracking. On a successful login, a 302 redirect is performed, a 200 indicates login failed.
SecRule RESPONSE_STATUS "^302" "phase:5,t:none,nolog,pass,setvar:ip.bf_counter=0,id:10012"
SecRule RESPONSE_STATUS "^200" "phase:5,chain,t:none,nolog,pass,setvar:ip.bf_counter=+1,deprecatevar:ip.bf_counter=1/180,id:10013"
SecRule ip:bf_counter "@gt 15" "t:none,setvar:user.bf_block=1,expirevar:user.bf_block=300,setvar:ip.bf_counter=0"
</location>
Is there a working rule which helps against this joomla brute force attacks?
Unfortunately switching to ASL is not an option for us.
