Re: FTP Authorization Failure time limits



Well it depends on the software you have on what the defaults are for
the login lockout time, I think for proftpd if you have it turned on
its 15 minutes, and for IIS I think it is 5. but its also changeable in
both thoose examples, Im not sure if thats what you are asking though

Hi,

When an FTP authorization fails thrice continuously, an error called
530: User not logged in (Your password is being rejected) triggers an
alarm in some Enterprise SIM solutions.


Can somebody please explain whether there is a time frame for the
illegitimate login attempts after which the alarm fires?

To elaborate the query, how much time space is allotted after every
individual invalid login attempt for an attacker using Brute force by
the FTP server?


Thanks in advance


Cheers!
