## 9.2.11 Set deny times for Password Attempts (scored)

### Profile Applicability
|
||||
Level 3
|
||||
|
||||
### Description
|
||||
Accounts subject to three unsuccessful logon attempts must be deny login.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale
|
||||
By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.
|
||||
|
||||
### Aduit
|
||||
Check that the system deny an account for the maximum period after three unsuccessful logon attempts with the following command:
|
||||
```
|
||||
# grep -w "^auth.*pam_tally2.so.*deny" /etc/pam.d/common-auth
|
||||
auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 unlock_time=900 even_deny_root
|
||||
```
|
||||
If the "deny" setting is less than or equal to "3" on both lines with the "pam_tally2.so" module name or is missing from a line, this is a finding.
|
||||
|
||||
### Remediation
|
||||
Configure the operating system to deny an account when three unsuccessful logon attempts are made. Modify "/etc/pam.d/common-auth" files to match the following lines:
|
||||
```
|
||||
auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 unlock_time=900 even_deny_root
|
||||
```
