|
Cyber-attacks are becoming a common thing these days. Out of many popular techniques that hackers use, account hijacking is more prevalent. Highly secure Linux Servers are not an exception to these. Especially when it comes to hijacking the root account. “Weak password policies†is one of the common issues in all organizations. It gives hackers a chance to guess or perform a brute force method to crack the passwords. We are giving solution to effectively monitor root attacks on RedHat Linux servers. Our proposed system constantly monitors 22 port for any break-ins. This solution also automates the task of blocking the attack immediately and reporting such an attack to system administrators and higher responsible authorities in the organization through emails. The attack related data is stored in an open source relational database. |
