Times Protected from Attack

  • Hi there,

    iThemes Security tells us how many times we’ve been protected from an attack (click below), but doesn’t reveal – nor is their a link telling us – which IPs attempted to attack our website. Where can we find this info?

    Thank you!

  • It’s in the Logs page. Filter for Brute Force or Lockout entries.

    @nlpro,

    Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to work or make sense. At this moment, our dashboard and filters depict the following:

    (1) Dashboard Display: (click here: https://prntscr.com/m6oo6g)

    Times Protected from Attack: 1; No lockouts.

    (2) Filter Search: (click here: https://prntscr.com/m6opxr)

    (a) The Brute Force filter option does not exist.

    (b) The Lockout filter displays many lockouts, but the dashboard says “0” (zero). Plugin ain’t working in unison with dashboard metrics. Click here: https://prntscr.com/m6orez

    (c) Bottom Line: These filters do not tell me what IP generated the “Times Protected from Attack.”

    Would be great if iThemes Security converted the numbers in circles (displayed in dashboard) to a link that will take us directly to the offending IPs and reason.

    Do you work for iThemes? (or are you simply a good samaritan?) If you work for iThemes, would appreciate taking action on these issues.

    Cheers!

    Nope, I don’t work for iThemes.

    We could dig into this or … read this and then decide to update to the Pro 5.6.0 release…;-)

    Hi @nlpro,

    They should hire you ?? I’m shocked no one at iThemes has not responded to many issues posted in this forum. Thanks for your help!

    No need to dig in unless you want to and we can help users in this forum.

    FYI … we use the Pro version as well. The new dashboard doesn’t work. A few details:

    (1) Dashboard gives you the option to organize your “cards” or modules for a clean display. We did that but as soon as we cleared our website cache, the modules reverted back to their original configuration (very disorganized). Yuk!

    (2) Dashboard does NOT show stats as shown in the marketing video (above link). Our log shows many security entries (404s, brute-force attacks, etc), but they don’t show up in the dashboard.

    Dashboard definitely needs to be re-tested and fixed.

    Anyway, don’t wish to change the original subject. I think we’ve wasted enough time helping iThemes debug their plugins (free and pro). Time to consider another security plugin.

    Cheers!
