1H Hawk is an extremely lightweight system for detecting brute force attacks against different services running on a server. It is а highly effective intrusion detection and prevention system, specifically designed to use as little resources as possible. It also provides detailed statistics about failed login attempts on your server.
This easy, effective and resource-efficient software will help you eliminate downtime created by brute force attacks directed at your server.
One of the main advantages of 1H Hawk is that it uses considerably less resources than most similar tools for analyzing incoming traffic. The software's unique design limits the time server resources are used for detecting and blocking malicious attackers instead of being available for the regular server users.
The software is designed not only to analyze traffic and collect data, but also to proactively block attackers who try to brute force client passwords, attempt a denial-of-service attack or simply try to exploit an application running on the server. It allows the server administrator to define how many failed login attempts for what period of time by one IP will be considered a brute force attack and after how many brute force attempts the IP will be blocked.
In the Hawk interface you can easily spot peaks in failed login attempts, see which services exactly were attacked and find information about the activity from each blocked IP. See a detailed screenshot presentation of the Hawk interface.
