What is an Brute Force Attack?
One of the most common forms of hacking involves
Brute Force Attack software which connects to a
login & password protected folder on your
website(members area) and it automatically sends
thousands of requests to the server attempting
to guess the correct username and password by
using a very large list of usernames/Passwords
(also known as a dictionary) that are likely
username and password combinations. Some of
these dictionary lists can contain over 20,000
words! This process consumes a lot bandwidth and
system performance and memory. The attacker are
often on a high speed internet connection, it
can slowdown your site loading time and degrades
its functionality. Adventually your server will
run out of memory and crash! And no one will be
able to visit your site as it has become to slow
or crashed during the attack. Once a attacker
gains access (found a good login/password), he
will most probable share it with the whole world
and post the working login and password on one
of to many password trading sites. Many of these
sites are so popular that they get hundreds of
thousands of visitors per day. This large volume
of requests can overwhelm your server and cause
it to be extremely slow or even crash. Free
access to a password protected folder means your
files are no longer save or people abuse it for
free. The amount of free loaders on your site
can also cost the site's owner thousands of
dollars in bandwidth expenses. In order to save
yourself from lot of trouble and money it is
which to order and install Robot Control Pro on
your website or server.

What is a proxy server Brute Force
Attack?
A proxy server Brute Force Attack means that the
attacker is using more then one IP addresses to
run his attack. The IP addresses will change so
fast that the attack can easily use 50 a 100
different IP addresses in only one second. The
IP addresses are coming from public often free
or private proxy servers.
Because they uses many different IP's allows him
to run his attack often success full then just
with one IP address. RCP uses a unique system to
detect proxy attacks and to stop them
immediately in just seconds. Your site will not
show any performance slowdowns or problems with
passwords showing up on password sites. RCP also
has a password sharing monitor wish reports
usernames that are used by to many different IP
addresses.

How to give the Brute Force Attacker a Hard
time!
A) Buy & install Robot Control Pro
which will automatically stop any brute force
attack (even proxy attacks).
B) The reason so many attacks are
successful is because people to often choose a
password that is so easy to remember ( like name
of pet) The change that the attacker has your
pet name in his word list is big. The complexes
you make the password the harder for the
attacker it will be to find a good match. There
for its important to make the password complex.
Never make a password shorter then 8 characters.
Always use a mix of letters numbers and they
special characters on your keyboard. Also use
lower chace and caps mixed all in one password.
Samples of bad passwords are: names, numbers
only like: 21584, mikey, lovesex, alicia,
Rufus.) These are all easy to guess for the
attacker.
Samples of good passwords are: Myo0@X2H and
2Z7~#Me! Make sure you use a mix of 8
numbers and letters and caps. This is nearly
impossible to guess for any attacker. The attack
it self will still cost a lot of server
performance and memory as the server has to
check more then 100 guesses to login and
passwords made to your website .htpsswd file.
Best protection is use RCP and complex
passwords. Doing so most brute force attackers
will not run attacks to your site as it has no
use, they will move on to a different
website.

What about other software that claim to stop
Brute Force Attacks?
Most Perl/Php program claim to be able to stop
brute force attacks. Unfortunately most only
stop attacks coming from one IP address. They
use a simple methode to count the failed login
for each IP address. Once the IP made more error
logins then allowed the IP address gets banned.
This method is old and out-dated and will only
stop human visitors who enter manually more then
once a wrong login/pass combination. This method
will not be able to stop any Proxy Server Brute
Force Attacks as they use over 100 different
IP‚s per second.
There are only a few programs able to stop
static IP & proxy server brute force
attacks. The programs able to stop proxy attacks
are often charging monthly fees for the blocking
service. Depending on the amount of attacks you
get in a month you may pay a monthly around $20
up to $100 a month. Wish we think is ridicules.
Specially as some companies run brute force
attacks on their clients in order to charge them
the monthly fee. This is not proven but very
understandable and possible (think of it ) it
makes sense. There for we recommend you to use
Robot Control Pro. RCP can do so mush more as
well then stopping proxy brute force attacks.
This is just one of the many great functions of
RCP. Robot Control Pro cost you only a one time
price of $89 (No monthly costs) and with the
right license you are allowed to install RCP on
more then one domain as well.
