Brute Force Attacks

FYI

The following IP address 95.214.54.110 is trying very hard to gain access to my Tik via VPN [port 500] each and every day now for months …

Just a FYI

How many are seeing the very same intrusion attempt on their Tiks ?

Its called blissful peace of mind. I dont log :slight_smile:
While your worrying, I am reading a great big book about how to help people with networking anxiety.
Apparently you can hit them over the head with a book, or tell them not to log.

Known, reported for scanning and trying a Zyxel exploit… There are millions of similar compromised IPs scanning.

Hi.
Anav is right: don’t log it.
Has Mikrotik high CPU usage or you already have some dynamic rule that could move these attackers to an addresses list to be dropped with a raw rule, for X minutes?

I’ve been seeing that too, two IP addresses, one at time, but different from yours.

I was thinking, ‘what are they doing’? They are trying to break the encryption password, after that, they need to figure out an account user/pass, maybe a certificate..

I made a post about this on the other forum we frequent because security wise, that is activity I had never seen before.

Filling the log annoys me, so I block the IP for a month at a time.

When will they start doing it with IPv6…

Perhaps but they have to find it first.

I’ve seen very few attacks on IPv6.

I started using IPv6 in 2008, I’ve seen maybe 10 in that time, at least 3 of them I suspect they got the IPs from my ISP.

When easy IPV4 targets are not available for starters and if you have something considered of value and exploitable the level of interest climbs......regardless of IPV....

Then, if you leave doors, windows, skylights and manholes open, it is obvious that sooner or later someone will enter your house...

Not entirely from the same source IP, but close … IP 95.214.55.244

inetnum: 95.214.52.0 - 95.214.55.255
netname: PL-MEV-20181221
country: PL
org: ORG-MSZO78-RIPE

Some Polish operated IP-space.
For the last 30 days, it is trying consistently these 4 destination ports on my frontdoor :smiley: :sunglasses:

Strange, its not like you have some secret recipe for vodka :wink:

Perhaps the vodka market is drying out and they want to get into chocolate or beer :laughing:

I could throw in a couple of Belgian Waffles :smiley: :smiley:

But then you would need french beurre and Canadian Maple Syrup. :slight_smile:

Greetings from the Netherlands :smiley:

It will be below -15°C tomorrow so I could do with waffles (des gaufres de Liège s.v.p!) and some hot chocolate. Beer? In het stoofvlees!

@Mozerd, thanks for the heads up. If you are interested in contributing, you can join the DShield sensor project.

The other way around, you can use their information to create and update a deny list to block the worst offenders: Script here!

Perhaps you should make use of Mozerds most excellent service, light years ahead of the game in the DIY category…
