Title: Help~ Error Log - multiple attempts to access?
Post by: willerby on January 04, 2011, 06:49:14 AM
My error log shows a 70 year old member of my forum (known to me) trying to access his account multiple times every eight minutes and getting his password wrong. ???

I wrote to him and he wasn't even online. Checking again, the log-in IP addresses are all different! What is going on?

looks like someone/something may be trying to hack into that account.

I can only imagine a spammer bot as its not an admin account. Do such things exist?

And why bother, I can block that username and reissue another even if it is successful.

spammers will try whatever they can to get access to a forum and do their job. you could try giving that user a new name, in their profile and see if that helps. they dont need to be blocked and issued a new username.

Now that I am watching the error log, it is also happening to another member... again every eight minutes but this time a member who hasn't visited the site for a while...

Just been back in touch with Trakgrip, the member mentioned above and this activity is causing him grief as when he does log-in each time the spam-bot tries to log-in over the top of him and gets the password wrong the software disconnects him and he has to log-in legitimately again. Will switch his user ID and ban the current but others should be aware that this is potentially why error logs fill with incorrect password attempts...

F*&%£$g spammers

Wait a minute... this doesn't make sense.

Why would a spam bot access a site every eight minutes and try and guess a password? It would take for ever.

Is it possibly a spoiling tactic for SMF forums eg. if the forum has limited password attempts set, that user would have to go through the process of regenerating a password? As differing IP addresses are used, is this some sort of replicable virus? I have no idea what is going on here, just guessing - can someone else throw any light on this?

Having changed the user log-in names for two users affected, all incorrect password traffic has ceased and error log empty...

All the same issue...

Post by: willerby on January 05, 2011, 08:13:27 AM
Not sure you guys are taking this seriously  :-\

This bot thing is relentless. I have so far banned 50 IP addresses and still it comes back with more, always trying to login as an existing user every eight minutes. At one point I am sure it used the IP address of a valid member - I banned the IP and then a regular user got locked out nd I had to delete that ban trigger... is that technically possible? I have no idea

I have implemented vbgamers Account Protection mod which allows users to specify IP addresses they want to use and blocks all others but this is a major undertaking for 3,000 members and severely restricts access to the site for users travelling / using variable IP addresses. If the above is correct, not sure how the mod will fare anyway.

If this replicates onto other forums you may need a better solution guys. Sorry...

This is also happening to me.

Most of the time they're trying to get my password

The IP keeps changing and it keeps cutting off my session, aka every fail they get i have to relogin.

It's annoying.

Please don't spam the forum with all those posts. I think this is indeed serious, and gave a hint to the support crew.

Could just be script-kiddies trying to hack in.

They're obviously failing, so why worry?

Anyone can see your member's usernames.

That's step one they have sorted.

All they need, is their password. That's why it's good to have a fairly complicated password.

So, they try a load and, when they've exhausted that, they try someone else.

I guess it would help, a bit, if members have different display names to their actual usernames.

Not sure about that, though.
Title: Re: Help~ Error Log - multiple attempts to access?
Post by: willerby on January 05, 2011, 08:48:20 AM
It's not the hacking its the constant logging out of a member who is legitimately online that is the issue. Each time they fail, the member gets logged out - not a great user experience.

Apologies for the previous posts, just needed some sort of response that this was on the radar
Title: Re: Help~ Error Log - multiple attempts to access?
Post by: kat on January 05, 2011, 09:03:43 AM
You might solve that, by getting him to change his display name.

Post by: IchBin™ on January 05, 2011, 10:00:53 AM
This really is nothing to worry about. The logout problem might be able to be dealt with, but there's no need to panic about a bot trying to login. These types of things literally happen thousands of times on my server and forum every day. As long as you have strong passwords you shouldn't have to worry about them getting in.

1st Maybe he has a dynamic IP address, and accidentally logged every eight minutes.

2nd Maybe it comes to malicious bot?

Not sure if this is helpful, but after 24 hrs I seem to have stemmed the flow of log-out problems by banning each IP address as it appears. They appear to be limited in number and randomly used with some much more prevalent than others

For the benefit of others, they are:

I just checked-out ten, or so, of those IPs, at http://www.projecthoneypot.org.

Every one is a confirmed Spamtard.

For what it's worth, I've found this to be useful in the fight against bots.

Well yeah i noticed it's not a bad issue if you have a decent strength password

However having a lot of users who play arcade which need sessions to stay before they finish game to score right, it's annoying.

you spend 15 mins playing a game to find some bot killed your session and you lose that big score, not good.

I've implemented some suggestions, we'll see how they go.

I agree this is very annoying. Is there anyway to stop them from attempting to or at least automating it? A captcha on the login form would be nice

Works on RC4 - after download, click advanced tab on Installed Packages and emulate RC3 - will then appear in installed packages list with an Install option and works straight out of the box

And so far doing the job... fingers crossed...

That "&bsa=check&member=1" bit seems out of place. I did a text search through the SMF source files and came up with 0 matches for "bsa". I think the full string ("&bsa=check&member=1") could potentially be an easy identifier for the bot in access log files. I notice otherwise it's providing a wide range of legitimate agent strings for a variety of real browsers, so the agent string isn't useful for identifying it.
Also, I notice it's consistently accessing "/?action=login2" on the forum in question, where apparently genuine login attempts are referring to "/index.php" rather than just "/", like so: "/index.php?action=login2" or "/index.php?PHPSESSID=[session_id]&action=login2". I wouldn't bet on that as a safe way to identify it, though.

I checked a few IPs from the full list of attempts and they were each on anonymizing proxies. I have no problem with blocking those, so I'll probably just go through the IPs and get a list of net ranges to block.

The way it's effectively logging users out is the annoying thing for me, as well. It doesn't look like a very effective brute-force method. Still, with their nets apparently spread so wide across a large number of forums, they'll probably get a few accounts out of it.

I've implemented the 'force email on login' mod referred to above and problem fixed in one hit with no need to block at IP address.

The bot uses the usernames of members to log-in. By switching to email address it can't log users off and eventually goes elsewhere.

I've seen this happening now on 2 forums I have administrator access to. Here is a sampling of access log data for the attempts, as best I can tell:

That "&bsa=check&member=1" bit seems out of place. I did a text search through the SMF source files and came up with 0 matches for "bsa". I think the full string ("&bsa=check&member=1") could potentially be an easy identifier for the bot in access log files. I notice otherwise it's providing a wide range of legitimate agent strings for a variety of real browsers, so the agent string isn't useful for identifying it.
Also, I notice it's consistently accessing "/?action=login2" on the forum in question, where apparently genuine login attempts are referring to "/index.php" rather than just "/", like so: "/index.php?action=login2" or "/index.php?PHPSESSID=[session_id]&action=login2". I wouldn't bet on that as a safe way to identify it, though.

I checked a few IPs from the full list of attempts and they were each on anonymizing proxies. I have no problem with blocking those, so I'll probably just go through the IPs and get a list of net ranges to block.

The way it's effectively logging users out is the annoying thing for me, as well. It doesn't look like a very effective brute-force method. Still, with their nets apparently spread so wide across a large number of forums, they'll probably get a few accounts out of it.

Is there a way to use this information to create a line in the .htaccess file to block them?

Not just a line, but multiple lines yes. You just add it to an .htaccess file.

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
deny from 012.34.5.
allow from all


Just add each IP to a separate line in the same manner as above.

Thank you, I was hoping not to bog down the server with a long list of IP addresses to deny.

I have a lot of attacks and block them in the .Htacces file but it is really getting crazy
