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.

Thanks folks :)



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

Anyway to mass ban those ip addresses?  Or do I have to manually add each one?

This mod could be my saviour - emulate RC3 and installs fine. Forces members to log-in using email address which screws the bot as these are hidden on my forum...

(Now testing)

Doesn't force me to login with my e-mail address, what are you talking about?

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...

We've recently had the same issue the last two days, I'm going to ignore it for now. The most annoying thing was the abrupt loggin out of users online.

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.

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. 

Blah blah

Anybody have the cb emaillogin 0.2 so I can fix this problem in 2.0rc 1.2?

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