[2003-11-17] Detecting Password Attacks on Windows
Why care about Password Attacks
Windows servers and workstations have become a primary target for malicious users. Be it hackers that try to deface a web site, the Warez community in search for "free" FTP server space or just your internal users interested in restricted files. One common thing about them is that the need to break in either via a software vulnerability or by breaking in into a user account.

Fortunately, this occurs not only often but is also relatively easy to spot - and the countermeasures are very simple and effective.
