This effectively stops brute force attempts, adds to system knowledge, and allows legitimate users who have accidentally imitated suspicious behavior to reach the requested location by completing the captcha. The beauty of this ever-evolving system is that it improves with each brute force attempt it stops, keeps the sites under attack safe, and ultimately protects the other websites hosted on our servers by blocking malicious traffic before they are even its objective. NEW: Traffic validation that minimizes the number of brute force attacks We have recently updated our system to make it even more powerful. We can now more efficiently block the vast majority of malicious non-human bots, for example incoming brute force attacks or data mining agents that aim to profile your site and then hack it through future software vulnerabilities.
That significantly increased the system's success rate and reduced malicious Portugal Mobile Number List hits by approximately 95%. The best example to illustrate how the system works is with XML-RPC , a file in the root directory of each WordPress installation. Many hosts (WordPress) block its use because it is known to be insecure and blocking it is the easiest way to prevent XML-RPC related hacks. However, XML-RPC also has many legitimate use cases for communicating with external systems and software. That's why we've never considered stopping XML-RPC: we want to empower our customers to use the tools and services they need to get the best out of their websites. Instead of blocking it, we've looked at ways to strengthen its security and significantly decrease the potential for brute force attacks. Following our latest update to the AI Brute Force Prevention system, we now validate all traffic coming from XML-RPC to stop all known malicious hits and ultimately reduce overall hits reaching customer sites to through XML-RPC.
This means we successfully filter out potential brute force sources before attempting an attack. , lower carbon footprint The impact of this update on our AI brute force prevention system is huge. Not only are we further minimizing the chances of our sites being broken into and potentially hacked, but we are also significantly reducing the resource consumption (such as CPU and RAM) generated by bot traffic and brute force attempts. Less resource consumption effectively means more resources available to your legitimate visitors and a lower carbon footprint of your site. Preventing brute force attempts is just one of the many ways we constantly protect the websites we host, along with our intelligent web application firewall, DDoS protection, 24h server monitoring, and many more.
