Hello all,
I'm a bit of a newbie here but i came across something that i wanted to ask you.
I saw in the messages log-file that someone was trying to guess the password of the administrator account of the FTPd server.
It was an automated attempt with three tries a second from the same ip adress. It kept on and on....
Just out of curiosity i tried to stop him from harassing me.
First i tried to configer my router to block his ip adress but i soon found out that my router could not stop a single external ip adress.
Second i tried to configer the Thecus to do the trick but that failed too as there is no firewall in the software.
I even tried to order a router with the ability to block external ip adresses but these routers are very expensive....
Is there anyone who has the same problem?
Can there be a firewall module in the software?
Is there anyone with a sollution?
Do i actually have a problem? ;D
Greetings,
Droedel
