Sejak awal diluncurkan, erudisi.com sudah mendapat banyak . Tapi jumlahnya meningkat tajam selama 3 minggu terakhir ini. Sepertinya itu dilakukan oleh lebih dari satu orang. Entah apa tujuannya.

Bagi yang Anda yang belum mengetahui apa itu brute-force, ia adalah upaya untuk ‘membobol’ password login dengan cara mengacak username dan password sampai menemukan kombinasi yang pas dengan harapan bisa masuk ke sistem dan menguasainya. Dan itu semua dilakukan dengan bantuan program atau bot, yang bekerja terus menerus mencari username dan password Anda.

Terlepas dari apa tujuannya (yang jelas biasanya tidak baik), pastinya Anda jengkel bila mengalami serangan brute force ke blog Anda, seperti yang saya alami.

Memang ada banyak saran yang bisa dilakukan untuk mencegah dan menangkal serangan brute force, seperti mengganti nama admin, menggunakan password yang kuat, menggunakan berbagai plugin keamanan dan sebagainya.

Saya sendiri telah menerapkan semuanya. Mulai dari mengubah URL halaman login, menambahkan captcha, menggunakan plugin login limit (baik plugin yang berdiri sendiri maupun fitur dari plugin security), dan berbagai upaya lainnya.

Tapi, setelah itu semua, serangan brute force tidak kunjung reda, bahkan dalam sejam bisa puluhan upaya masuk yang gagal dan diblok IP-nya.

Saya hampir kehabisan cara, bagaimana menghentikan serangan brute force ke erudisi ini. Sampai akhirnya saya menemukan script dari pastebin. Dan setelah saya terapkan, benar saja, saat itu juga serangan brute force berhenti total. Padahal semua upaya lainnya, tidak membuahkan hasil.

Nah, bagi Anda yang juga mengalami hal yang sama, berikut adalah kode yang perlu Anda tambahkan ke file .htaccess:
