Is it possible to ban an IP address after X number of unsuccessful login attempts to a Windows Server? Not to a particular account, which I know how to do, but to the whole machine.
We get hit pretty hard by brute force attacks trying to guess usernames, so this would really help get some load off the server.
If you ping google.com from different countries you will get replies from local google servers. How does that work? Can a DNS record have multiple A addresses? Could someone point me to the technology they use to do that?
Update. OK, so Google's DNS server gives out a different IP based on the location. But, as Alexandre Jasmin pointed out, how do they track the location? Surely their DNS won't ever see your IP address. Is the server querying Google's DNS guaranteed to be from the location it represents?
I'm trying to install Umbraco CMS on Windows 7 64-bit and I get the following exception:
[HttpException (0x80004005): Could not load file or assembly 'ImageManipulation, Version=1.0.2105.41209, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant minimum permission required.
The application pool's trust mode is set to 'Full', all the user permissions are just as on other sites hosted on the same machine. I went through all relevant topics on Umbraco's forum, but all advices are about the trust level.
How do I fix this?
Whenever I start MySQL server 5.1.33 or 5.1.40 (developers build) and try to read from one table the server crashes with this message in log files:
InnoDB: Error: (1500) Couldn't read the MAX(userFK) autoinc value from the index (PRIMARY).
I've upgraded to 5.1.40 per http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=44030 but I still can't read from the table, so I cannot recover it. I've started the server with innodb_force_recovery=1 but that didn't help either, REPAIR, CHECK or SELECT or any other command just crashes the server.
How can I repair the table so that it is readable again?
