This may have been asked before, but I can't find it. I am getting repeated external attempted
to log into our AD/DC (running Samba 4.4.14). In /var/log/samba/log.samba I get entried like:
2017/09/19 05:02:25.562957, 2] ../source4/auth/ntlm/auth.c:430(auth_check_password_recv)
auth_check_password_recv: sam_ignoredomain authentication for user [HPRS\333] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
[2017/09/19 05:02:33.493494, 2] ../source4/auth/ntlm/auth.c:430(auth_check_password_recv)
auth_check_password_recv: sam_ignoredomain authentication for user [HPRS\ADMINISTRATOR] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD
The first form is the message generated for an attempt at an invalid user. The 2nd form is if
they have a valid user, but invalid password.
I do not get the attacker's IP address which makes it difficult for me to block them.
My current log level is:
log level = 2 passdb:5 auth:10 winbind:2 lanman:10
Is there some level I can set that would show me the attacking IP?
This is a current problem as the attacker(s) keep trying, even as I write this.
