Temporary Disable cPHulk using SSH

Things like this are common…. someone tries the wrong email password or is convinced that the password they are using for their cPanel is the correct one… but it is not! and cPHulk marks the IP.

We will obviosly need another IP or another server and SSH to do this:

/usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/stopcphulkd stop

Now we can enter WHM and FLUSH the cPHulk DB… we can also do this from the command line:

mysql cphulkd
delete from brutes;
delete from logins;

But we will need the mysql acces…. I alwasy go with the WHM Flush option.

It saved me many times :S
