Protection against brute force attacks

Brute force attacks are the most common type of attack on networks. This method of attack tries out a variety of potential passwords in the shortest possible time, until the right one is found. One form of protection against brute-force attacks is to react to one or more successive failed attempts by delaying the time until the entry is allowed to be attempted again.

Configure the protection against brute-force attacks in LANconfig under Public Spot > Server in the section Brute force protection.





Lock after
Specify how many unsuccessful attempts are permitted before the entry lock takes effect.
Lock duration
Specify for how long the entry lock is to apply.

You can use the console to display the current status of the brute-force protection with the command show pbbruteprotector:

show pbbruteprotector
Shows all of the MAC addresses that are associated with the Public Spot.
show pbbruteprotector [MAC address[ MAC address [ ...]]]
Specifying one or more space-separated MAC addresses shows the status of all of the respective MAC addresses.
Note: MAC addresses are specified in the format 11:22:33:44:55:66, 11-22-33-44-55-66 or 112233445566.
