Every server on the internet is probed constantly: programs look for weak spots and try out passwords. The WoA detects such attackers automatically. Anyone who stands out repeatedly is blocked for longer each time, on all servers in the network.

## How blocking works

- Detect: Every 30 minutes the system checks which addresses have been looking for weak spots or trying out passwords.
- Block: Anyone who stands out repeatedly is blocked for 7 days. If the address stands out again afterwards, for 30 days, and from the third time permanently.
- Share: The block does not stay on one server: it is passed on automatically to the firewalls of all servers in the network.
- Never the wrong people: Users who have logged in successfully are never blocked. Our support releases false alarms right away.

## What goes on even on a small website

A look at the statistics of our own website shows: a large share of all requests does not come from people, but from scanners looking for weak spots and from botnets.

Scanners and login attacks come back again and again. Anyone who attacks repeatedly is blocked for longer each time, on all servers in the network.

Botnets that request individual pages from many changing addresses are detected automatically by the WoA and taken out of the [visitor statistics](https://1x1it.de/en/workorderagent/webseite/besucherstatistik/). If one of these addresses stands out repeatedly, it ends up on the block list automatically.
