Hi,

I wanted to use Brute Force Attacks with Abyss. I followed this tutorial:

http://www.trustabyss.com/hacks/monitor_brute_attacks.php

I can't find brute_attacks.log in Abyss Web Server\log

I needed php just to use brute and I installed it with help of abyss tutorial.

Also, can someone please let me how can I test php?
I wanted to make sure that I have installed it correct?

Thanks

Heval

I'd worry about getting all of the site online before I worry about the brute force issue.

To test PHP, make a file called:

test.php

And save it to your Web Document root folder (probably htdocs).

Place this code in that file:

Code:
<? phpinfo(); ?>


And open it in a browser...You will see some information on Abyss and PHP if PHP is installed correctly.

After you're done with this test, best-practices are to delete it so it doesn't expose any variables that you may not want visible publicly.

Thanks for rely.

Yes I did what you have suggested and it is working fine.

I still wanted to know though why there isn't a brute_attacks.log in Log folder.

Our website is a private one, user name and password must be used to log in.

Thanks again
