http://serverfault.com – Which service(s) (or ports) should I block in the Windows firewall (for all except my own ip's) to stop these brute force login attempts? I noticed at least two different kinds of login "types" in the event viewer: 1. Process Information: -- Detailed Authentication Information: Logon Process: User32 Authentication Package: Negotiate 2. Process Information: Caller Process ID: 0x14cc Caller Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\winlogon.exe Detailed Authentication Information: Logon Process: NtLmSsp Authentication Package: NTLM (HowTos)

Detailed Per-Process Profiling 42 weeks 5 days ago

I am looking for a way to profile a single process including time spent for CPU, I/O, system calls and optionally memory usage over time.

I already know callgrind offering some basic profiling features but only with debugging information and lacking most of the other mentioned information.

I know strace -c providing a summary about all system calls and their required CPU time.

I am in the process of creating an AuthenticationActivity which will provide users the option of logging in via Facebook, Twitter or app specific auth.

a few days ago I've set up a VPS, including personal SMTP service using postfix + procmail under Debian / Wheezy.

I am already seeing a LOT of hammering onto the SMTP and other ports.

I have an intranet web application.

Even though I've set "Windows Authentication = Enabled" (and all other Authentications are disabled), when the application tries to access resources, it is treated as though it is run by the same user that runs the Application Pool's process.

Is there a problem here, or do I not understand correctly how Windows Authentication works? If I did get it wrong, is t

We've been using fail2ban to block failed ssh attempts. I would like to setup the same thing for phpMyAdmin as well.

As phpMyAdmin doesn't log authentication attempts to a file (that I know of), I'm unsure of how best to go about this.

Does a plugin / config exist that makes phpMyAdmin log authentication attempts to a file? Or is there some other place I should look for such an activity log?
