cphulk

Hello, After investigating some of your run-of-the-mill cphulk blocks, I realized the reason my whitelist isn't working is that cphulk is seeing all traffic as the gateway IP (10.0.0.1) and brute forcing bots are getting that IP temp banned. Clearly I've taken a wrong turn somewhere in...

Hello, When I check the server for brute force attack, in the IP section it shows the IP of our server, and in the Authentication Service section it shows dovecot, country LT, although the server is not even in this country. Can someone explain why it shows the IP of our server?

Hello, It is possible impact cPhulk on TTFB? This should not affect but our client had a bad TTFB. We cleaned over 30k record in cPhulk and now the TTFB is better. Best regards

We enabled country blocking on our server and CPhulk blocked everything, web and ssh, even blocked access to hosted sites. I tried the following; /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cphulk_pam_ctl --disable /usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopcphulkd but cphulk would restart. I then tried; whmapi1...

I am getting this annoying warning each time I press "Remove Blocks and Clear Reports" from the History Reports on cPHulk Brute Force Protection. I have a Virtuozzo dedicated server with GoDaddy and they couldn't provide any help. Is there a way to fix it? Since it started a few versions ago...

I have 2 Questions regarding CpHullk : 1 - How does the Regions VS. Countries priority work ? I have AP (AP) Listed as a Country in the CpHulk countries list. I assume this is AP = ASIA PACIFIC as a region. The second region would be EU. So my question is : If I blacklist ( or Whitelist )...

Updated to v80.0.10 tonight. After the updated, I started getting brute force attempts from countries that I already had blacklisted. I did not change any of my cPHulk BFP setting. Any ideas?

I've spent a good deal of time, reached out to my server host, and was told I need to ask here. I have roundcube and horde disabled from accounts as they are not used. My logs are full of blocks for 127.0.0.1. latest examples: (email removed - non existant email - all the same in this example)...

Folks, This is my first post on this forum. Great information here, can believe I haven't joined this forum till now. I have had a Dedicated Server for a few years now (running WHM) and never really paid too much mind to security (as I didn't know much about the subject). For someone not of an...

Hello Everyone, First time posting in these forums. We're getting the following message on a daily basis it seems. Normally a message follows immediately afterwards that the service has recovered. I'm not a Cpanel expert but I've tried looking through the logs but I'm not finding anything...

Before the flame war starts over me not searching or Googling this first, I did. Google thinks "cpaneld" = "cpanel". If you put the entire question in quotes "what is cpaneld", Google yields no results. And this own forum's search for "cpaneld" yields a thousand results of folks pasting code...

Under the basic configuration settings of cPHulk, I see the following: I just can't seem to understand what exactly this setting means even after reading it multiple times. Can someone explain it to me in simple plain terms with some example. Thanks a lot.

I've a user problem which is driving me up the wall. (pop3d) Failed POP3 login from xx.xx.xx.xx, this eventually results in a CSF block, locking her out entirely. The user has 3 devices, Laptop, Tablet, Iphone. I can't resolve this at her premise, as the resulting lock out, will also lock me...

Hello, I've been facing a huge wave of brute force attempts to WordPress logins lately and poking with a more robust solution for blocking it. I have a custom rule in apache that's able to 401 an IP that has 'x' failed logins attempts. But lately, that's not being enough. I believe with the...

Hi If I have got this corretly, if I blacklist an IP, it totally deny's login in but it also deny's viewing any website in that WHM server. Is there a way to block login, or allow login only from known IP's but allow to view any website in that WHM server?
