Abstract
A computer method and system for detecting denial of service network attacks by analyzing intercepted data packets on a network to determine a user account associated with a preselected target host sought to be accessed via a user account login attempt. Determine if the login attempt exceeds a predetermined login value for previous failed login attempts associated with the user account sought to be accessed. Determine a geographic location associated with the login attempt if determined the login attempt exceeded the predetermined login value. Determine if a prior login attempt to the user account sought to be accessed was successful from the determined geographic location. Authenticate the login attempt to the user account sought to be accessed in the event it was determined a prior successful login attempt was made to the user account from the determined geographic location or no prior login attempts originated from the determined geographic location.
