What is LFD (Login Failure Daemon)?
Login Failure Daemon is a continuously running process that runs all the time (Every Second) and scans all the login attempts against your server using log file entries and blocks all the entries that fail within a short period of time. These types of attacks are also known as “Brute-Force Attacks“. The Daemon process runs every second and responds very quickly to these patterns and blocks all the offending IPs quickly.
It’s highly recommended to always enable the LFD (Login Failure Daemon) to prevent your server and clients from any additional security breaches and attacks. You can follow the below steps to Disable all LFD Email Alerts.
