Hi,

 

A lot of  Brute Force attack to the mail services and I have to create Firewall Rule to block the bad IP daily basis. 

 

I have Fortigate firewall and want to deploy the feature " IP Reputation Filtering" to block the incoming / outgoing traffic . 

 

Following sample IP address doing burte force attck , they can be found from the web site    www.abuseipdb.com and IBM xforce. 

 

187.8.227.238
186.201.17.22
200.159.82.62
200.148.241.166

But I can not found the corresponding IP address from the Fortiguard web site. 

 

Is Fortigate IP Reputation Filtering suitable for this application / filtering ?

Hey vvserpent,

you could also look into threat feeds - FortiGate can access external lists of IPs for example, and use the lists to block those IPs.

Have a look here:

The Threat Feeds feature is very interesting.  I reading the document and will try it later.

I tried to use the diagnose command to check the existance of the suspected IP in the Fortigate ISDB , but nothing retured from the system. 

 

It seems they are not classified as BAD IP in Fortinet database.
