DirectAdmin Disable brute force notifications

If you are looking for a way to disable brute force notifications in DirectAdmin, you have come to the right place.

These alerts are triggered due to repeated failed login attempts to services like email, FTP, or the DirectAdmin control panel. Furthermore, these notifications help administrators identify and respond to potential security threats.

Let’s take a look at how to disable brute force notifications:

1. First, we have to log in to the DirectAdmin control panel.
2. Then, head to the Administrator Settings section.
3. Now, look for options to enable or disable brute force notifications. Uncheck the box to disable the notifications.
4. At this point, we have to click Save to confirm the changes.
5. Finally, we have to verify the brute force notifications are disabled by triggering some failed login attempts and see if we receive notifications.

Our experts would like to point out that disabling these notifications will reduce the visibility of potential security threats. So, we have to be careful and only try it if the alternative methods have failed.

Although disabling the notifications will reduce the noise in our inbox we have to use additional security measures as well.

Additionally, we can stop messages from being sent out and keep the IPs blacklisted, we have to set hide brute force notifications=1 in our directadmin.conf file. All we have to do is edit the file and add the following string:
hide_brute_force_notifications=1

Let us know in the comments if you need further help with disabling these notifications.
