Brute Force

Brute Force detections within Netography Fusion's Netography Detection Models (NDMs) are designed to identify and alert network administrators to activities associated with attempts at guessing usernames and passwords for network services. These detections look for patterns of network activity consistent with large numbers of repeated connections between the same client and server, which is often indicative of a situation where a client is repeatedly trying different login credentials at the server, over and over again. Brute force activity against Internet facing services is very common place, but brute force attacks originating within your network may indicate a compromise is in progress. By promptly identifying these indicators, the NDMs allow network administrators to take immediate action, mitigating further damage and initiating incident response procedures if necessary.
