IPs You should block rightaway if you are using wordpress.

I have multiple wordpress websites and i have couple of paid security softwares protecting my sites, they provide me a list of I/P addesses from where my site was attacked and i have noticed these are the same I/Ps which are attacking my other sites as well. Believe me my sites are not at all related to each other nor do they have any obvious footprint which means these are the I/Ps used by bad acotors and they must be attacking all the random wordpress websites. I have blocked/blacklisted these I/Ps on all my sites and i thought that i should let others know as well so i am putting a list here and i will try to update this list every couple of days so we can maintain an updated list. Please do let me know if you guys will be interested in the updated list so i can put some efforts daily to maintain the bad I/Ps list, Here is the list anyhow:-

How are they attacking you? Spam, ddos?

That is interesting... what security software do you recommend?

I am going to block them, no matter what.

i have wordfence security installed,, they were successfull in clickjacking my website,, one of them... so all the clicks from search engines were going to porn and other hacked websites... i even got penalized for that by google...

We found site log files starting in May 2019. Based on our review of the logs and the malware we found, your site was compromised on May 13, 2019 through a compromised WordPress user account, specifically the user ********. We found a successful login attempt in your log files on the 13th of May which was followed by the upload of a plugin titled “linklove.” Unfortunately, the plugin “linklove” was no longer on the account when we conducted our clean-up, however, after doing some research, we discovered that “linklove” is a plugin typically used by attackers containing malicious code used to obtain remote access to your server and be able to run commands such as uploading and modifying files. After the attacker logged in and installed the plugin, they uploaded webshells and backdoors to maintain access to your site and to be able to run remote commands that could further the infection. Please see the detailed log analysis below.

In these first four requests, we can see the attacker accessing the /wp-login.php page, successfully authenticating, and being redirected to the /wp-admin dashboard. 46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:20:39 -0700] "GET /wp-login.php HTTP/1.1" 200 1716 "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:20:40 -0700] "POST /wp-login.php HTTP/1.1" 302 - "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:20:41 -0700] "GET /wp-admin/ HTTP/1.1" 200 41120 "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:20:48 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 22489 "-"

Here is evidence from the database confirming that it was the user ********** that logged in. [user_nicename] => ********* [user_id] => 22 [login] => Mon May 13 21:20:41 2019 [ip] => 46.105.107.231

Now in the next five requests, we see the attacker accessing the plugin installation page, navigating to the upload option, and successfully uploading the plugin “linklove” that would provide them with the remote access they needed. 46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:32:06 -0700] "GET /wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=upload HTTP/1.1" 200 31726 "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:32:08 -0700] "POST /wp-admin/update.php?action=upload-plugin HTTP/1.1" 200 29056 "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:32:18 -0700] "GET

PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL 23 May 2019 5 of 10

/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=linklove%2Flinklove.php&_wpnonce=56bf29943 d HTTP/1.1" 302 - "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:32:25 -0700] "GET /wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s= HTTP/1.1" 200 26 "-"

46.105.107.231 - - [13/May/2019:14:32:26 -0700] "GET /wp-content/plugins/linklove/linklove.php?s=id HTTP/1.1" 200 26 "-"

Finally, in the next four requests we see the attacker retrieving the malicious files from the “linklove’ plugin and POST-ing to the files which is when the attacker started running commands through the plugin to inject additional malicious files to your account. At this time, two malicious files were uploaded, apigen.php and iconclass.php.

86.105.25.218 - - [13/May/2019:17:19:44 -0700] "GET /wp-content/plugins/linklove/ini_xml_rpc.class.php?bamdkda=a HTTP/1.1" 200 22 "-"

86.105.25.218 - - [14/May/2019:06:10:48 -0700] "POST /wp-content/plugins/linklove/linklove.php?s=id HTTP/1.1" 200 26 "-"

86.105.25.218 - - [14/May/2019:06:10:55 -0700] "GET /wp-content/plugins/linklove/ini_user-info.php?bamdkda=a HTTP/1.1" 200 22 "-"

45.227.252.251 - - [14/May/2019:06:44:58 -0700] "POST /wp-content/plugins/linklove/ini_user-info.php HTTP/1.1" 200 12675 "-"

public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/apigen.php 2019-05-14 public_html/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/ini/iconclass.php 2019-05-14

The attacker then used the malicious webshells they uploaded to further infect your site over the next few days. As a result, we have reset all administrative user account passwords and ask that you reset them to new stronger passwords.

Here is a part of clean up i had to do where they provided me details,, so yeah... you should just block them no matter what,, i will keep updating the list though ,,, every couple of days

If you gonna block these on VPS than do the following via SSH:

iptables -A INPUT -s 134.249.141.24 -j DROP (single)

iptables -A INPUT -s 185.228.80.0/24 -j DROP (subnet last ip)

netfilter-persistent save iptables (its good to download Netfilter persistent to save the changes).

I don't see any ukrainian ip!

You’ll probably find that a lot of these spammers first compromise an existing server, then from there, attack other servers. That explains why you might get spammed from what looks like a consumer hosting account.

Great! thanks for sharing this, will block them once I saw them in my wordpress.

Great share my friend! I had this list 2 months ago and I was testing them. Really harmful. All people running WP please block them. They also cause a lot of trouble.

Block these ones NOW! DDoS and they are using bots to link your websites back to rotten domains. I have Wordfence PRO and for one of my websites WF had me bitting my nails because these ones are handle by pros. It's important to say to all WP owners: please rename your wp-admin... Be extra careful to your search boxes as well... SQL Injections are quite easy even for newbies.
