Sorry I bothered you.....I don't know why I posted it, just felt like it because it was a large attack. And it was from a University in Hong Kong, most likely a hacked box.
cheer up palNeil McGeehan

Korea/China quite often.
Its funny to see them try and get in, when they would never get the user/pass in a million years. BFD owns them pretty bad then they just give up.
Losers.

China was a common one I've heard about. Most foreign countries seem to be a main culprit on the forums.
Although, it probably occurs from the United States just as much.GenerousWebHosting.com Home of Generous George the Red Monster.

if i can get a shadow file off somebodys box maybe I could "guess" their password in a few days depending, that doesn't mean I could do it remotely, even if they didn't notice what was going on once /var/log filled up.Kevin

Kind of reminds me of years back when some people thought that their choice of OS was impervious to virus attack and therefore virus protection was unneeded."Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property...

well, i have had many attacks come from government networks and universities and such in canada and US just as much as forien.
As for china, I'm surprised the great firewall of china allows any of this to cross.Kevin

We use an encoding script (protected by most name searching dictionary scripts) that will toss the password up 3 or 4 times create an access key and then again encode the password.
Maybe not a million years but they will be sat there quite a good weeks at least , But knowing these idiots they probably have more time on there hands than me and you.

BFD is brute force detection
ATF is the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, so when you get in and brute force with them, they come after you with tanks. 8)

if you leave your system open, and somebody can login by guessing your password in weeks, then your password sucks big time.Kevin
