Brute Force query in ELK

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,

I am trying to create a successful brute force attempts. For that I am writing a ruby code in logstash.

Is there any other method like writing a query in elasticsearch, so that I could meet the logic of the successful brute force attempt [Brute force attempt by a particular user on a particular IP]?

I have already created many filters in my logstash and I don't want to overload it. I have tried the query in kibana but I am not able to meet it there.

I am not sure why you'd want to write ruby in Logstash to achieve brute force detection.

I'd suggest taking a look at Elasticsearch Terms Aggregations combined with Alerting.

Also see this blog re portscan detection (logic can be adapted for failed bruteforce login).
