How to test bruteforce on whmcs?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have just installed recaptcha on my site, for login, and i want to test bruteforce, if it is still letting pass or not.

 

Here is my site - https://snthostings.com/billing/clientarea.php

 

Can anyone help me figure out if the captcha is working against bruteforce such as snipr or sentry mba and all that *.

 

Maybe some GET or POST command that should figure out?

Hello,

Thank you for your post!

An alternative, in some ways better, approach to mitigating the chance of your clients account being brute forced is to have them enable Two-Factor Authentication.

If you have not utilised this yet, I would advise reading the following documentation:
https://www.whmcs.com/two-factor/
https://docs.whmcs.com/Two-Factor_Authentication

Once configured, you can force clients to set this up next time they login.

Hello,

 

No, that's not an issue. The issue is that the CPU usage goes high when there is an attack. Hence why I want to implicate recaptcha into my login form.

 

 

And now I want to test it.

Hello,

Thank you for coming back to me!

I see you are using the reCAPTCHA v2, so I am assuming you want to ensure that this presents a challenge where it believes a bot has accessed the client login page?

An easy way to check this, that I know of, is to use the 'Modify Headers' Chrome plugin and add a user-agent like Googlebot/2.1.

I actually did this and tested it for you, and it seems to be working correctly, I made a video to show this: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFhF2ZbgRP

Hi sonuyos,

normally testing brute-forces should not be possible in an normal network if the attack is coming from outside and the Hacker is not already on your Server.

There would be DDoS Protection, max connections and delay Check.

On the Server Web Application Firewall, captcha and at the end blacklisting.

I mean brute-forcing is not just try 3-4 request in a minute.

Sometime our developer got problems if they try to test something and send to many different request in a shorten time.

Like change -- > flush cache --> reload --> check --> change -- > flush cache --> reload this ends sometimes in this picture

Sorry is in German but it tells you something like :

Quote

We detected an unusual activity from your IP and blocked access to this website. Please confirm that you are not an robot. --> Captcha

So If you would be an Reseller on one of our Server and would test brute-forcing your WHMCS installation good night.

Our guests from China also seem to test brute-forcing

Is that a custom setup? or with some third party?

Hi,

It is a third party , I try to do no advertising but look for Imunify360 there is also a possibility to use 30 days as trial .

 

Also a favorable graduation of Licenses.

 

Greetings Christian

Thanks for that.

 

Lemme get this correct, this is a firewall that will be installed on cpanel, and when an IP attacks this will block it and give recaptcha to that specific IP only, correct?

So basically it is like cloudflare but integrated with cpanel and more enhanced security. Correct?

Hi,

depending on what you want I mean CloudFlare has a different orientation it is more or less an CDN Provider.

In my opinion CloudFlare makes only sense if you need to distribute your content to many locations as possible to keep traffic locally and serve your content faster.

I do not know your Environment but I don't need an other DDos protection or Load-balancer we have all this stuff in our Webfarm in Front.

We use LiteSpeed as Webserver its anyway 9x faster than Apache and 5 x then Apache+ngnix . LiteSpeed provides Caching solution you will dream about it.

Yea 12$ I know the first License is not so cheap but for 30User it's only 25$ so If you got more than one it will be cheaper and cheaper.

We sell also VPS and  bare metal solutions there is an module for WHMCS to sell Imunify360 Licenses so we own already Bulk enterprise Licenses.

But all this are only tools you should also understand what to do with all this kind of staff ;-)

Greetings Christian
