Hi,

Would you teach me how to prevent a bot that is trying to login as Admin to
IIS every second for couple hours please?
Thanks!


The firewall doesn't seem to do anything.
Am I missing something?

It is possibly using tcp 80 to a page that requires authentication.
If so, find the IP from the IIS logs, or from the security event log,
and define a rule to block all traffic from that IP (and then later
remember to remove after they have given up and the IP has
possibly been released to someone else)

I don't quite sure how to stop it. The bot starts its run 1 or twice a
week. Everytime it comes with different IP addresses.

That is a tough one, and is example of why IPS (intrusion prevention
systems) were developed, to monitor and react to types of unwanted
network activity.

You should implement a Visual Code Entry in your website. That means,
every user who need to logon will have to enter a randomly generated
code along with their credentials in order to logon to the site.

This will solve your concens from the Bot.

But having some other tool (as IPS/IDS) is always beneficial and there
are quite a good open-source tools available.

Hope this helps.
