Systems And Methods For Protecting Websites From Botnet Attacks

摘要

A computer-implemented method for preventing an unauthorized login attempt includes the steps of: (i) receiving, at a central server in communication with a plurality of servers in a distributed computing network, a first communication comprising a security key and an IP address associated with an entity attempting to login to a website hosted by a server; (ii) comparing, by the central server, the received security key to a stored list of security keys; (iii) authenticating the first communication if the received security key matches one of the stored security keys; (iv) comparing, by the central server, the received IP address to blacklisted IP addresses; (v) determining whether the received IP address is one of the blacklisted IP addresses; and (vi) providing, to the server, an indication of whether the IP address is one of the blacklisted IP addresses.

主权项

1. A protection system for preventing an unauthorized login attempt, wherein the system is in communication with a plurality of servers in a distributed computing network, each of the servers hosting a website and comprising a security key, the system comprising:
a memory comprising first data representing a plurality of security keys, and further comprising second data representing a plurality of blacklisted IP addresses; and a processor in communication with the memory and the distributed computing network, wherein the processor is configured to:
(i) receive from one of the plurality of servers a first communication, the communication comprising a security key and an IP address associated with an entity attempting to login to the website hosted by that server;(ii) compare the received security key to the first data and authenticate the first communication if the received security key matches one of the security keys in the first data;(iii) compare the IP address to the second data and determine whether the IP address is one of the plurality of blacklisted IP addresses; and(iv) provide to the server, based on the comparison of the IP address to the second data, an indication of whether the IP address is one of the plurality of blacklisted IP addresses.
