Exchange, IIS & mail

Protect Exchange, IIS and mail servers against brute force

OWA, ActiveSync, SMTP AUTH and web applications are popular targets for password spraying. ServerBouncer reads the logs of IIS, Exchange and mail servers and blocks attackers centrally via WFP.

Profiles for Exchange, IIS and mail servers

Exchange

401 responses on /owa, /ecp, /ews, ActiveSync, MAPI, RPC, Autodiscover and OAB, OWA form logons, event 4625 from w3wp.exe plus SMTP, POP3 and IMAP protocol logs.

IIS and web servers

IIS logs as well as Apache and nginx access logs. Web scan rules detect requests for paths such as /.env or /wp-login.php and bursts of 404 responses.

Mail servers and FTP

Mail servers with a JSON-lines log, regex templates for hMailServer, MailEnable, SmarterMail, MDaemon and Kerio Connect, among others (marked as unverified), plus IIS FTP and FileZilla.

Thresholds per endpoint

Every endpoint has its own thresholds – for example stricter for admin interfaces and more lenient for ActiveSync, where mobile devices with an old password produce many failures. A block applies to all ports of the source or only to the chosen ones.
