VERY IMPORTANT:

Some minutes after set up my email address for notification and i receve an email with 35 fail login attemps from IP of CINA who try to log in into SSH with different username admin and root.

So it's very important Webuzo make more easy to set up notification email when user install this module or show install confirmation message with link for let user know how to setup notification.

A question:

In the email log i can see 35 failed login attemps..
For default setting after with number IP is banned if log in fails?

Question 1:
How i can check ban list od Brute Force Detection?

Thanks
I want to look into log for know what appen before today is one year i have Brute Force with no email alert set up..

Now i discover this i have turned off SSH and FTP access..

Question 2:
Also Brute Force detection works, monitor and block attachs in FTP access too or only access to SSH?

Question 3:
If also FTP is Brute Force protected, maybe is possibile to have FTP access enabled and SSH disabled (now - from what i see is not possibile) maybe can be possibile in the future if this has sense for have SSH disabled but FTP enabled if there is no Brute Force attach notification problem?

For example now i have discovered my SSH is under attack so i disabled it, if Brute force notifly me attach of FTP i will turn this one also off.. for now i see only one button who disabled FTP and SSH

Thanks.

I have made a mistake.

If you disable SSH you don't disabled FTP but i use SFTP
so it's normal if i disable SSH SFTP are not avaiable.

My mistake.

Question 3 not need a reply.

New Question 4:
There is a way to monitor all success log in attemp in SSH?

I have read it's possibile with DenyHost (http://www.tecmint.com/5-best-practices-to-secure-and-protect-ssh-server/)

After how many faliture attemps Brute Force ban an IP.. i don't understand why my log email alerted me of 35 failed login attemps from same IP.. maybe i have to check a settings where the BAN is set?

thnaks for the patience and the reply
