I have always had nice thoughts about how good it would be to have your own website and run it. The only thing is that Brute force was not one of those thoughts.
The idea of having an address where your voice could be heard and you could share those things that have added value to you and are still adding value to you was just exhilarating.
There are a lot of people out there who are ready to encourage you to take the plunge and even give you ideas on how to quickly setup your very own shop to display your talent.
The one thing that is not mentioned during this wooing stage is the danger that lurks out there in the name of spammers and phishers and all the other names that people who attack websites with malicious intents are called.
There are bad people out there and they want to take over your website to display their wares from infection for other systems, stealing of important information and selling of products that do more damage than good.
Brute force is someone or some computer run by someone trying to gain access to your website by trying different usernames that are common and rapidly trying different passwords that are equally common to gain access to the website so that it can be injected with code and will compromise the integrity of the website. These attacks are usually made from some IP address to the website of interest.
I have only two questions I hope you can answer for me
First how do they determine which website to attack that is what attracts them to the website.
Second, who provides the IP addresses that are used for these attacks or are they weaknesses inherent in my host service provider?
