Re: Block countries but allow port 53/dns

I would say maybe using something like this unless someone else has a better idea. You could deny services, port access to many countries attacking your server by just using their country codes. # This option denies access from the following countries to specific ports # listed in CC_DENY_PORTS_TCP ...

Re: Is there any problem increasing filemax?

Nope - just uses more resources and at times creates more watches.

So if you have enough resources and fast cpus and SSDs you should be fine.

Re: Trace how malware was uploaded to server

Do you use modsecurity? If not consider installing OWASP rules or Comodo WAF ruleset both which are free. Usually they upload via a outdated plugin or some flaw in one. If not that then if you have no modsecurity then your server is vulnerable. Best to have Firewall + Modsecurity + CXS + ClamAV with...

Re: csf causing excessive load averages

Not entirely sure what the cause could be. But I would recommend you go through each setting in your csf.conf. Also are you using ipset? if not then if you have alot of blocklists enabled that could cause some slowness. Also is CSF monitoring alot of CUSTOM log locations? May be too many logs to be ...

Re: Ignore wp-content/cache/wp-rocket/domain suspicious directory

I think you add

hdir:*/wp-content/cache/

to cxs.ignore

I stand to be corrected. Test it if you like and see?

Re: How to override IP Reputation blocked IP

I think we experienced a similar issue before using the CC_IGNORE feature where we would like a country and customers IPs would still be blocked I think if they existed in those CXS lists.

I am not to sure if there is way but hopefully someone has an idea how to do so.

Re: wp-login.php ban : NCSA extended/combined log

I use the following on our cpanel servers. Not sure if it is the same for you but it definitely helps us and stops tons a day: # XMLRPC if (($globlogs{CUSTOM2_LOG}{$lgfile}) and ($line =~ /(\S+).*] "\w*(?:GET|POST) \/xmlrpc\.php.*" /)) { return ("WP XMLPRC Attack",$1,"XMLRPC...

Re: STICKY rules for CXS.XTRA regs.

The filenames were wpz-load.php, mindex.php, ROOT.php, and many weird russian filenames I can't remember. md5sum:quarantine:0b138d902d6aea94ff386a70...
