How to identify a brute force attack?

A brute force attack is a type of cyberattack in which an attacker tries to gain access to a system or account by repeatedly trying different passwords or usernames.

There are a few things you can look for to identify a brute force attack:

• Increased login attempts: If you see a sudden increase in login attempts from a particular IP address or range of IP addresses, this could be a sign of a brute force attack.
• Failed login attempts: If you see numerous failed login attempts, this is also a sign of a brute force attack.
• Blocked IP addresses: If your system or application is blocking IP addresses that are repeatedly trying to log in, this is another sign of a brute force attack.
• Unusual user behaviour: If you see unusual user behaviour, such as multiple failed login attempts from the same user account, this could also be a sign of a brute force attack.
