We’ve recently seen that there was a brute force botnet attack on the wp-admin page on a very large scale. If you sometime face such a situation on your Linux server, then you can stop such an attack by using the conf file of Apache i.e. httpd.conf with the rule below :-
=========================
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
=========================
That’s it!! This will stop every access request on the wp-admin page.
