Description: Automatically blocks IP addresses with hacking attempts on your windows server services (rdp, FTP, SQL-Server) using the Windows firewall.
The software runs as a Windows background service and monitors RDP, FTP und SQL-Server events for failed logins. If a configurable number of failed login events is detected from the same IP address BotFence dynamically lists that IP address im the Windows firewall as blocked.
If your Windows server is reachable from the internet and you want certain services like remote desktop, FTP transfers or SQL-Server to be accessible from outside then hacking attempts on your server will definitely be made. Numerous automated hacking tools, called bots are active on the internet. They scan IP address ranges for published services and when they find FTP, RDP or SQL-Server services active they will try hundreds or even thousands of frequently-used passwords. Administrator (rdp) and sa (superuser for SQL-Server) are the most targeted accounts. As long as the bots don t guess your passwords right you ll probably never now about them, apart from the high server load caused by the thousands of login attempts.

Press release from the publisher:Hackers are Using Bots to Break Into Your Windows Servers
Servolutions has released BotFence v. 2.1, an application that protects a Windows server from hackers and bots.
Every month, we learn that hackers have broken into high-visibility computers such as the Pentagon?s servers, NASA?s servers, and the White House servers. Truth is, hackers are getting into small companies? servers every day and stealing financial information, credit card data, and other sensitive info.
BotFence is a powerhouse application that can keep Windows servers safe. The software runs as a Windows background service and monitors a server?s FTP (including FileZilla-FTP), remote desktop (RDP), SMTP (email), WordPress sites, and SQL Server events for failed logins. Using advanced heuristics, BotFence detects individual hack attempts as well as advanced botnets attacking from many servers at once, and dynamically lists attacking IP addresses in the Windows firewall block list.
Servolutions offers a free utility called AttackTracer ? http: www.servolutions.com AttackTracer.htm ? that scans Windows Server logs and determines if there have been hacking attempts against that server.
Most businesses need their servers to be accessible from the Internet for incoming emails, FTP file transfers, remote desktop sessions, SQL Server connections, and a range of other services.
Hackers know that these published services are not protected by the Windows firewall, and they use bots running brute-force hacking attempts to pound on them. It?s not unusual for a company?s server to receive thousands of hacking attempts each day from networks of computers on a wide range of IP addresses and mostly from other countries.
Each of the hacker bots tries to get into your server by using the most common user names and passwords. ??Administrator? is the most popular remote desktop user name, and ?sa? is the most common SQL Server superuser account name.?, says Claus Christensen of Servolutions. In addition to keeping server information safe, BotFence makes servers run faster by blocking thousands of server login attempts each day.
BotFence notifies network administrators by email about newly blocked hacking attempts. In addition, the software creates daily or weekly detail and summary reports.
BotFence and AttackTracer run under Microsoft Server and SBS Server 2008 through 2012, as well as Windows 7, 8, and 10. A single-server license of BotFence costs $199(US) and comes with a 1-year money-back guarantee.
