What is it? how do I block these?

I used cpanel cphulk. However, cphulk only listed the IP as list of brute force attack. 27.153.248.48 is listed as one of the IP in cphulk.

However, my server seems to keep receiving connection from such IP just fine.

This is just normal "background noise" you see with about every internet facing server. If you don't need an ftp server (you shouldn't, prefer SFTP instead), turn it off. Other than that, make sure you have good passwords and maybe install something like Fail2Ban to block hosts repeatedly trying to connect unsucessfully.

  • What are your thoughts on using only SFTP, but keeping ftp running with a "one strike you're out" via fail2ban and banning for 6-12 months or so? Seems like an easy way to partially immunize a server from possible botnets. Aug 31, 2015 at 18:28
