RE: [cobalt-security] .htpasswd hacking



Are you running any sort of firewall???
If not I would suggest using fire wall one it is free and you can download it of the net.

Subject: [cobalt-security] .htpasswd hacking

Hello,
 
Someone is trying to guess one of my .htaccess sites. He uses some robot, I guess.
I see him trying 50 times per second in my access logfile and error logfiles.
He keeps feeding up the pressure untill my RaQ3 goes doen.
Anyone any idea what can be done to  prevent this kind of attacks?
