Invalid Login attempts ASA syslogs

jf1134

Level 1

We have a ASAv in Azure and all that it is used for is anyconnect. I setup a syslog server and I keep seeing all these invalid login attempts and majority of the usernames are invalid except we do see a few that are actually correct but see invalid login in AD logs. 

What are they actually trying to login to? The actual ASA? Is there a way to stop the invalid login attempts?

Here's a sample

@jf1134 those syslog messages indicate someone is attempting to login to a Remote Access VPN (IPsec or WebVPN). https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/syslog/b_syslog/syslogs1.html#con_4769508

If you don't use RAVPN then you can disable this functionality.

Usually we use acl control plane' but if you can not use acl use shun command to block these Ip

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/ips-4200-series-sensors/111001-shun-block-config-ex.html

I tried using the shun command and add the most common IP's but it doesn't seem to be working

The IP you shun is try again or there are other IP try login?

We are using RAVPN. This ASA is being used for AnyConnect. I think these are coming from web URL that we use for clients to download the AnyConnect client. I did a couple of invalid logs through the web url with my name and they came showed up in the Syslogs. 

 

@jf1134 if it's the web portal and you do not use it, you can disable logins, therefore no failed attempts in the syslogs.
