Anti Brute Force Password attack
settings
Select in the drop menu the threshold to limit
the number of failed authentication attempts.
After how many incorrect logins & passwords
should a human visitor being blocked from
further access to your site. We recommend 6 or
higher. That will allow them to make a few
spelling errors and try again. Once they reached
the treshold the will be banned from access to
your site. You can chose on the setting page
also to receive a email notification on each
human brute force attack.

Ban proxy ips for multi 401 errors within
seconds
Select in the drop menu how fast you want Robot
Control Pro to detect and stop proxy server
brute force attacks. Chose from: block after
multi 401 errors (failed authentication
attempts) in 1, 2 or 3 seconds. Many proxy
servers are real fast and can easily run more
attempts within a single second. There for we
recommend 1 second.

Path to your members area .htaccess
file
IMPORTANT : This function is not required by RCP
in order to stop brute force attacks! This is a
extra function. This function only works if your
server config.file allow the rcp.cgi script to
rename files on your server. If you are not sure
then leave this form field EMPTY!!! this
function will feed the brute force attacker fake
201 OK! logins and passwords during his attack.
The attacker will think he found will give him
access to the protected folder. Unfortunally for
the attacker the login & passwords do not
exist on your site.

Never ban the site owner, admin or
webmaster
This form fields allow you to enter IP address
that RCP will not ban for a illegal actions made

webmaster gets banned from access to their own
website. You can enter up to six IP addresses.
Like your webmaster, site admin, yourself,
clients etc. If you have gotten banned for some
reason check the category: Problems with RCP on
this FAQ for info on how to un-banned yourself
