INTERESTING: sysadmin login attempts
The following query returns the current and active logins to oracle applications for the day. But sometimes I don't know how suddenly SYSADMIN record also comes automatically in the result.
I have changed SYSADMIN password and I have not logged in to the system as SYSADMIN but sometimes it shows automatically that sysadmin logged in.
Is there a way I can track who logged in as SYSADMIN, from which machine or is there a way that if somebody knows one of the old passwords of sysadmin has done some setup so that he is able to login even though the password is changed.
PLEASE ADVICE. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
SELECT user_name username,
description name,
to_char(b.first_connect,'MM/DD/RR HH24:MI') firstconnect,
to_char(b.last_connect,'MM/DD/RR HH24:MI') lastconnect
FROM apps.fnd_user a,
(SELECT MIN (first_connect) first_connect,
MAX (last_connect) last_connect, last_updated_by user_id
FROM apps.icx_sessions
GROUP BY last_updated_by) b
WHERE a.user_id = b.user_id
AND last_connect>SYSDATE-3/12
ORDER BY 4 DESC
If password is changed no one can login with old password irrespective of the user.
Thanks

There have been 7,039 failed login attempts in the last 30 minutes
Hi,
I am trying to find out the cause for an OEM alert we received:
There have been 7,039 failed login attempts in the last 30 minutesThe cause is ofcourse known, but I can't find out why the application anyway was able to do 7000+ login attempts within half an hour. The account should have locked after 10 attempts
The perticular account has a DEFAULT profile.
Auditing is on, so if we look into DBA_AUDIT_SESSION it is clearly seen that within 1 minute approx 1200 failed login attempts occured without the account being locked.

The above login attempts come from three application server of which I don't know how they handle failed logins.
Can anyone point me into a search direction as to why the account didn't lock. Just for completeness some extra info about the account and the DEFAULT profile:

Thanks

Edit: For the record, after I discovered the above I changed the DEFAULT profile, so the account would not unlock itself anymore. If this problem will occur in the future, maybe we can get more info as the account - if it gets locked- should stay locked now:
alter profile default limit PASSWORD_LOCK_TIME unlimited;Edited by: fjfranken on 3-feb-2012 2:56Girish Sharma wrote:
I cann't say that resource_limit is not TRUE, because you are saying "If we retry the login with a incorrect password manually from SQLplus, after 10 login attempts the account gets locked as expected.", so it means profile is working for the "KRAMPV" user.
The interesting thing is USERHOST is changing, so another option is the listener log should also have information about the failed connection attempts.
My another guess is duplicate user in the database i.e. one is KRAMPV and another is "krampv" (with quotation mark). Just check in dba_users that is there something like exists or not.....
select upper(username),count(*) from dba_users group by upper(username) having count(*) > 1;
Regards
Girish SharmaHi Girish,
resource_limit is set to FALSE.
And we've tested the locking with another user, because KRAMPV is used by the application that is running and we didn't want to risk that it got locked
USERHOST is not changing, there are 4 hosts ( application servers ) doing the same thing, so connection requests are coming from 4 hosts concurrently.
There is luckily no duplicate user.
Thanks anyway, we will keep investigating. I also sent the information to the application provider.
Bye
FJFranken -
Is it possible to limit account login attempts?
A clients asked me about this. They need to adhere to a new policy of tracking login attempts, and locking out the user after 5 failed attempts (they deal with sensitive personal data). Tracking we can do with 3rd party software, but I can't find anything anywhere that leads me to believe that Macs can lock out after a set number of attempts. Is there a setting I'm not aware of somewhere?
Jeff
Assuming this is not an OD environment you could download the Server Admin Tools from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1071
Install them on as many client workstations you need to. Once installed you can remove all the applications expect for WorkGroup Manager. Place the application on the local administrator's desktop. That way only the local admin account has access to the application. Launch the application and dismiss the connection dialog box by clicking Cancel. Click on the Server Menu and select 'View Directories". You're now looking at the DSLocal node. Authenticate as the administrator by clicking the padlock in the node section of the interface. Select an account you're interested in. Click on the Advanced tab. Click on the Options button. Enable the 'after user makes x attempts'. Click OK. Quit the application when you're done.
If this was an OD (LDAP) environment you could apply the MCX at User Level or as a Global Policy for the Service itself.

THE ISSUES ARE:
1. FORGOT PASSWORD
2. FORGOT PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO
3. EXCEEDED ATTEMPTS TO LOGIN
I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLES FORUM PROBLEMS THAT ARE THE SAME. WHEN I FOLLOWED LINKS THAT SUPPORT GAVE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
What I need is simply this: Blackberry to send me a RESET PASSWORD link to the email I have registered with Blackberry WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE PASSWORD RECOVERY INFO. This will enable me to bypass unknown recovery password info and access my Blackberry ID account.
Why haven't I been able to find a solution to fix the problem?
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO EXIST........ ANYWHERE..... EVEN ON YOUTUBE BLACKBERRY ARE RUNNING AN OUT OF DATE SOLUTION CENTRE.
When looked online to Blackberry youtube video it shows a solution that doesn't exist! WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS UPLOADED IN 2011. DUH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvdRb4qNG1M
If I can't remember my password or recovery password info there is NO other option available that will send me a reset password via email so I can keep my current BB ID.
KB34776 - does not apply because you HAVE TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER YOUR RECOVERY PASSWORD!
CHECKED THIS OUT...
Workaround
If the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten but the answer to the password recovery question is known, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user knows the email address used for the BlackBerry ID login but is unable to remember the associated password then it is possible to reset the password using the steps below:
Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow.
To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, log in to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field. For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected], at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
Log in to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the smartphone, or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected]. If the email is not found in the inbox, check the mailbox's Spam or Junk folder.
When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
If the BlackBerry smartphone user does not know the email or password that was used for the BlackBerry ID, the BlackBerry ID will be locked out after 10 unsuccessful login attempts. See KB24157 for BlackBerry ID lockout behavior.
THEN CHECKED KB24157......
Overview
BlackBerry ID is the master key to BlackBerry smartphone products, sites, services and applications, including BlackBerry Protect and the BlackBerry App World storefront.
To prevent unauthorized access to the account, the BlackBerry ID will become locked out after a number of failed attempts. See the information below for an outline on the expected behavior:
Local Authentication Lockout
On BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry smartphones if the user enters their BBID password incorrectly 10 times on the BBID sign in screen, verify password screen, or BBID Edit screens, they are LOCKED OUT of all the following functions on that BlackBerry device for 15 minutes:
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the sign in screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the verify password screen
Authenticating with their BlackBerry ID on the BBID edit screens
Note: The user can still log in on the web or any other devices associated with their BlackBerry ID. They are only locked out on the device where the 10 incorrect attempts occurred. On the locked out device, after 15 minutes, they get 1 try to provide the correct password on the sign in and/or verify password screens. If they fail to enter the correct password, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes on that device.
Account Server Lockout
Users have total of 10 attempts to enter their password correctly against the BlackBerry ID Account Server.
The scenarios that increment the Account Server lockout counter are as follows:
Providing an incorrect password anywhere on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
Providing an incorrect password within the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on any BlackBerry device or BlackBerry PlayBook
Note: if a user provides an incorrect password 5 times on the BlackBerry ID web portal (blackberry.com/blackberryid), and then 5 more times on the BlackBerry ID Edit feature on their BlackBerry PlayBook, the cumulative number of failed attempts is 10. Once the user has made 10 incorrect attempts to provide their password against the Account Server, they are locked out of the Account Server PERMANENTLY until they reset their password.
See KB26361 for information to reset a BlackBerry ID password
Note: The Account Server Lockout does NOT prevent the user from local authenticating on devices (the user can still authenticate on the sign in and verify password screens on their BlackBerry devices).
Forgot Password Lockout
If the user answers their Security Question incorrectly 10 times, they are locked out for 15 minutes of Forgot Password functionality on all interfaces such as:
BlackBerry website (blackberry.com/blackberryid)
BlackBerry PlayBook
BlackBerry smartphone
Note: After 15 minutes, they get 1 try, and if they fail to answer the question correctly, they are locked out for an additional 15 minutes.
THAT DIDN'T WORK SO NOW ITS BACK TO..... KB26361
Overview
To change the BlackBerry ID password, complete the steps below for the specific device:
From the BlackBerry 10 smartphone:
Swipe down from the top bezel on the home screen and select Settings.
Scroll down and select BlackBerry ID.
Select Change Password.
Enter the current password in the Current BlackBerry ID Password field.
Enter the new password in the New BlackBerry ID Password and Confirm New Passwordfields.
Select Submit to complete the password change.
To confirm the change You have changed your password will be displayed.
Also, if the BlackBerry ID password has been forgotten, select Forgot Password on the smartphone and answer the recovery question to generate a password reset email. Follow KB28685 to complete this process.
Note: When using the recovery question password reset method, the generated email will be delivered to the BlackBerry 10 smartphone if the BlackBerry ID email address has been setup via Settings >Accounts
From a computer:
Visit http://www.bbid.com/ from a PC or BlackBerry smartphone browser.
Click Log in.
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and password, then click Sign In.
Click Account Details.

If the password for a BlackBerry ID account has been forgotten and the login is unsuccessful, use the following process to reset the password.
Note: If the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed, it is necessary to provide the answer to the password recovery question as part of the web based password reset flow. To see if a BlackBerry ID account is confirmed, login to the BlackBerry ID account, select Account Details and locate the Email Status field. For instructions on confirming the BlackBerry ID account follow KB34137.
To generate a password reset email, complete the following:
Browse to the following URL using a desktop browser, the Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone or the Browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook: http://blackberryid.blackberry.com/bbid/recoverpassword
Enter the BlackBerry ID Username (email address) and the CAPTCHA characters, then clickSubmit.
Enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, then click OK. (Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed)
A confirmation message will be displayed A password reset email has been sent to [email protected] , at which point, a reset email will be delivered to the associated email address inbox.
Login to the email account associated to the BlackBerry ID using the desktop browser, BlackBerry Browser on the BlackBerry smartphone or the browser on the BlackBerry PlayBook.
Locate the password reset email and select the Change your BlackBerry ID password link.
Note: The BlackBerry ID reset email will come from [email protected] If the email is not found in the inbox, check the Spam or Junk folder.
When the password reset page loads, enter the Answer to the Password Recovery Question, enter the New Password, Confirm Password, then click Submit.
Note: Answering the recovery question is only required if the BlackBerry ID account is not confirmed.
A confirmation message will display once the changes have been saved successfully.
Moving forward use the newly created password whenever logging into BlackBerry ID.
Note: If the BlackBerry ID email address is a BlackBerry mail address (e.g. <username>@tmo.blackberry.net), the BlackBerry ID password reset email will not be received on the BlackBerry smartphone. Since the BlackBerry mail address is not accessible from a computer, the steps outlined in KB28111 will need to be performed.
IT ALL LEADS BACK TO THE SAME UNHELPFUL NON-SOLUTION OF USE THE PASSWORD RECOVERY QUESTION....
Can the tech department of Blackberry please sort out this ridiculous unhelpful system by sending customers a direct email if password is forgotten so they can reset without having to go through the above without finding a solution.

Hopefully, this information will be of use to you.
But do please keep in mind that security is a 2-way street...the human element play an equal part in that security, and you have failed at that in this situation, yet desire for the automated methods to still recover for you. Such just isn't possible, because your failure has exceeded the capabilities of the automated methods.
Hence, you likely need human intervention from an actual BB representative, which is not available in this forum (as discussed in the first link I gave you above). But, the methods to attempt to seek human intervention are posted within the 2nd link I gave you.

2900 Series Router - Over 700 failed login attempts - How do I find the source IP?
There is a 2900 series router Version 15.0(1)M1, in our company, recently the logs show that there were over 700 failed login attempts to try and gain privelege level 15 access. Is there a way to see the source IP from the host that is attempting the logins?

Sql to find all Sysadmin logins in EBS
Hi ,
I am using this sql to find out all Sysadmin logins in my EBS environment.
SELECT user_name "User Name",
to_char(start_time, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') "Login Time",
to_char(end_time, 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') "Logout Time"
FROM apps.fnd_logins a,
apps.fnd_user b
WHERE a.user_id = b.user_id
AND b.user_name IN ('SYSADMIN', 'MOBDEV', 'MOBADM')
AND TRUNC(start_time) > TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 1
AND login_type = 'FORM'
ORDER BY start_time;
But, somehow I am unable to relate this logins to database sessions id. Is these any direct sql to find out all session info from gv$session / gv$process whenever there is a sysadmin login.
EBS 11.5.10.2
DB 11.2.0.2Hi
HusseinNone of the query gives a correct output.
For example , when I enter the user_name as SYSADMIN for the query , the v$session.action gives result as "FRM:GXGONG:ACCO CA IND Shipping "..this is the forms session info for "GXGONG" user who doesn't have the sysadmin responsibility.
SELECT distinct(s.sid),

To send a mail for failed login attempts,.
We have to implement the mailing system in linux.,to send the mail regarding failed login attempts and ip address of user who attempted the failed login.,any one have the idea on this?
Regards.,
VaaruRunning an old beta version of RHEL is a bad idea. If you are concerned about security and operation of your OS I suggest to use a more recent release version. You can download, install and use Oracle Linux for free.
Mail processing of failed login attempts is not a good idea and to my knowledge there is no such built-in system setting. I suggest you read the standard documentation or search the Web for information on how to set up a mail system. You will probably need to create a custom script to process failed login attempts. -
Our Windows 2008R2 security log is full of failed login attempt events 4776, but we're unable to block them because no IP address is provided for the network source of these attempts - like it was in Windows 2003 Server.

If I want to count the number of failed login attempts what might be the best course of action?
Off the top of my head I figure I could:
Have a session variable that counts up to number X
Have a cookie variable
Insert the users IP address into a database table for each failed attempt and when the form loads I check to make sure there aren't X number of strikes in the last 30 minutes.
A combination of those might be a good idea. Most hackers are, luckily, amateurs with one-track minds. Create a database table to log failed login attempts. For every failed attempt, log at least the datetime, IP, sessionID, username (which should be unique on your site), reason for failure and failure count.
In a query following a failed login, verify whether the IP, sessionID or username match any in the failed_login table, and, if so, whether the current datetime is within, say, 12 hours of the last failed login. If yes, increment the failure count by 1. If no, insert a new row in the table.
Use client-friendly messages to inform your visitors why their login fails. Study failed logins for common patterns. It just might be that you are the culprit, and that you have to improve your login design. There is one good reason for doing all that. Then you will know that those in your failed_login table really had it in for you.
If your site traffic is high, then consider archiving old data. Throw nothing away! -
Portal Report for failed login attempts
Hey Gurus,
I've some doubts regarind the login mechanism of SAP Portal.
1) Is it possible to capture the failed login attempts for a portal?
2) Is there any standard report available where we can have the numbar of failed login attempts to the portal for a specifc user?.
Say, If a user is trying to access portal. Firts attempt - Failed, Second attempt - Failed Third attempt - Success.
So is it possible to capture these two failed login attempts by standard way and display it to administrator thru a report?

We have a UCS system configured for LDAP authentication against Active Directory. Everything is working as expected, but on the DCs we are seeing excessive failed login attempts originating from the fabric interconnect IPs against an invalid domain account. We are seeing anywhere from hundreds to thousands of attempts per day, so I don't believe these are due to invalid GUI login attempts or anything user driven. I've dug through the GUI but cannot find anything that would be using that account. The BindDN is set to use a different account created solely for this purpose. An example from the event log is posted below (192.168.32.12 is the primary FI). Any thoughts?
An account failed to log on.Subject: Security ID: SYSTEM Account Name: LP-DC02$ Account Domain: CO Logon ID: 0x3e7Logon Type: 3Account For Which Logon Failed: Security ID: NULL SID Account Name: Admin Account Domain: COFailure Information: Failure Reason: Unknown user name or bad password.

It is generated on the computer where access was attempted.The Subject fields indicate the account on the local system which requested the logon. This is most commonly a service such as the Server service, or a local process such as Winlogon.exe or Services.exe.The Logon Type field indicates the kind of logon that was requested. The most common types are 2 (interactive) and 3 (network).Hi Brad,
I checked my lab setup and do not see anything similar, can you let me know the UCSM version and i can check for that specific version.
Is there is any other AD intergation? back-up job? KVM access etc?
feel free to open a TAC case if you wish to and we should to able to look into the logs and figure out if there is a request going out from UCS for authentication of a specific account.
Thanks!

Our system has detected an unauthorized login attempt to your AppIeID from an IP address location different than one you usually use.
In order to protect your account, we will disable your AppleID due to our concern for the safety and integrity of the AppIe community.
In order to confirm that you are the rightful owner of this account, we recommend that you click here: My Apple ID.

FTP Security - Repeated Login Attempts
Over the past 2 weeks or so, i've seen about a bazillion of these types of entries in the system log of one of our ftp servers:
Aug 21 03:39:22 ns ftpd[4099]: ACL Check failed for Administrator
Aug 21 03:39:22 ns ftpd[4099]: ACL Check failed for Administrator
Aug 21 03:39:22 ns ftpd[4099]: ACL Check failed for Administrator
Aug 21 03:39:23 ns ftpd[4099]: repeated login failures from atlantis @ 83.143.18.134 [83.143.18.134]
Obviously, someone is trying to gain access (unsuccessfully - thank goodness) to the system. The repeated login attempts last anywhere from 5 - 30 minutes, always with the username Administrator. The IP addresses are from all over the world - Europe, Asia, and the US. Why we have a bullseye on us all of a sudden is unknown. This server has been running for close to three years now, and I've never seen attempts with this frequency.
The Administrator user doesn't have ftp access on this system, so I'm not too worried about these break - in attempts. (Or should I be?)
My formal question is this - is there anything that can be done with the out of the box ftp server to deter these attempts, or at least block attempts by IP address temporarily after several failed logins?
What approach have others used? Is it time to start looking at another ftp server software package that has more security settings?
Any help / input would be appreciated.
I miss my Apple IIc Mac OS X (10.4.6)Thanks for the feedback Camelot. I'll post my replies under the quoted text below.
If you're running a public server you're going to get
hits you don't want. Fact of life.
Script kiddies around the world are going to try
whatever username and password they can think of to
log into your server.
Having a different FTP server isn't going to change
that - any other server is just as vulnerable to
brute-force attacks as the built-in server. How do
you think a different server is going to react any
differently?
I don't know - that's why I asked.
I've only used the bundled ftp server with OS X server. I was wondering if there was a ftp software package that temporarily blocked IPs after 'n' number of invalid login attempts or something like that. And thought I'd see if anyone had any experience in this department.
Your only safeguards are some combination of:
1) use your firewall to restrict access to the server
to known/trusted IP addresses
Unfortunately, a few of our users use dynamic IPs. Which is a bummer.
2) use a VPN to connect to the server, then connect
to the internal address
We've used this method successfully before. We might go back to it...
It was a 'pain' for some of our remote users and I finally gave into the nagging to do away with it because I spent way too much time providing phone support for remote users. I know, I know, it's just laziness on my part.
3) use a different protocol that supports public key
authentication (and turn off password
authentication), e.g. SFTP.
I've looked into SFTP for the OS X ftp server on these boards and most discussions don't seem to resolve into a definitive solution for implementing SFTP on the OS X server. Anyone get this working properly? I'd love to set it up to support SFTP only and disable password authentication.
I'm leaving the original question open - I'd like to know if there is ftp software that works well on OS X server that would temporarily block an IP after 'n' invalid attempts, or has something similar.
Or for someone to tell me I'm just being paranoid - and that the current setup should be OK. -
I have a test computer with slackware on it. Every time I login, it displays who logged in and how many failed login attempts there were. I like this and I would like this feature too on my archlinux box, but I don't know how to do this. Can anyone explain which file(s) I have to change in order to get this output?
Thnx!A quick google search yielded http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/com … erman.html.
lastb - Shows failed login attempts. This command requires the file /var/log/btmp to exist in order to work. Type "touch /var/log/btmp" to begin logging to this file.
Executing lastb as root will yield the following, automatically creating the file /var/log/btmp.
