The common problem for website developers is password-guessing attacks known as Brute Force attacks. Password authentication is used to safeguard any computer system from being hacked from the outside. The system resources can only be used by authorised users. At the network level, there are several security issues. All web-based services, require a strong password. most hackers guess the password by using some tool or software. Once the attacker obtains the credentials, they can change the system files and operations may or may not be. Most of the attackers are using the information in a passive way. As a result, it will be referred to as passive attacks. Passive attacks are difficult to detect since there will be no traces of change in the system or network's usual operation. Collecting the input from failed login, the store in logs and analyzing them to detect the attacker’s IP and the pattern of attack. Once the Script Detects the failed authentication continuously from the same IP address, then the tool automatedly blocks the IP address.

Brute force attack, authentication, passive attack, credentials, IP address.
