Log IPs

  • How would one make SQL SERVER Log the IP on a failed login attempt ?

    In profiler all i see is 'SERVER' as the host and since there is no 'SERVER' in my network I am not able to block this hackers IP.

    Netstat is not good because i can't pick out the right IP.

    Errorlog says "sa password failed" but doesn't tell me the hacker's IP

  • IP is not something that is SQLs responsibility, it's done by the OS so you can either monitor there, or check your firewall logs.

    You _do_ have a firewall right?

    Another thing to point out is that you should disable SQL Authentication and thereby avoid the whole problem of people sneaking in through 'sa'.

  • Disabling SQL Authentication isn't always an option.

    I agree that a firewall or some sort of IP monitoring/blocking, preferably in front of the SQL server is the best approach.
