Failed login attempts - show username in log

[Betard]

Is there a way to include the username of the failed login attempts?

I have my DS1511+ exposed to the internet and I find that quite often I get notified of failed login attempts / banned IPs. It would be useful to know what account they are trying to access, for instance if it was the "admin" account, and I have that disabled, then its safe to say its just someone fishing... but if the usernames were active ones, then I would be able to act accordingly.

Couldn't agree more, great idea!

I have a DS211j whith DSM 3.2 and for a long time that it is possible to see what was the user name that tried to login and was banned.

You have to to System Information and then in the Log tab you can see who was blocked

Expanding the information of the failed login would be appreciated.
Special user-name and protocol type could be an idea.

I found that it is only failed login via ftp that register user-name under Systemlog, else it is registered as 'SYSTEM'

Glad others would find this useful.

I have it set up to email and text me on failed logins. So it would be great to have something along the lines of "<UserName> [100.002.003.004] banned / blacklisted for XX failed login attempts"

There is another way to do that, you have to telnet to the DS and do cd /var/log and then do vi messages.

Then you have tho search in that huge log and the aplications that have banned a wrong user name and time

This is absolute an option, but too difficult and still you do not get the user-name, under an auto-block.

I may of stumbled onto something that may help. I found under "Notifications" that you can define the messages.

Example:

Dear user,

IP address [%CLIENT_IP%] of %HOSTNAME% had %AUTOBLOCK_ATTEMPTS% failed login attempts within %AUTOBLOCK_ATTEMPT_MIN% minutes, and has been blocked at %AUTOBLOCK_TIME%.

Sincerely,
%COMPANY_NAME%

Does anyone know where we can find a complete list of these variables? Perhaps there is one for the username of the attempted login.

... failed login attempts ...

it would also be nice to see what kind of logins they tried !
I only see failed FTP logins in the Connection log, but other logins like Telnet, SSH are not shown ?? The IP is blocked, but I can't see what they tried.
