cPHulk uses a MySQL database to keep track of different IP’s to block, white list, black list, etc.<\/p>\n
When there have been X amount of failed login attempts from an IP, cPHulk adds an entry for the IP in the brutes table.<\/p>\n
To “unblock” the IP we need to delete the entry.<\/p>\n
open up the cPHulk MySQL database.<\/p>\n
root@localhost [~]# mysql cphulkd<\/pre>\nIf your interested you can view all tables that cPHulk uses.<\/p>\n
show tables;<\/pre>\nTake a look at all the IP’s in the brutes table.<\/p>\n
