Hello,

we had repeatingly some false positves, IPs that were blocked upon decision “LePresidente/http-generic-401-bf”.  
Where does this decision/role come from? I did not select the repository “LePresidente” when installing crowsec. And how can I remove this pattern? I found who to unblock the IP/decision on the host, but I don’t want to have the reason “LePresidente/http-generic-401-bf” installed.  
Can someone explain please, what it does?

I also marked as “false positive” in the backend…

Thanks!

OK, found that rule now here:

[https://hub.crowdsec.net/author/crowdsecurity/configurations/http-generic-bf](https://hub.crowdsec.net/author/crowdsecurity/configurations/http-generic-bf)

Description:  
Alert when a single IP that try to bruteforce http basic auth.  
Leakspeed of 10s, capacity of 5.

Well, that’s not bad 😉 But the name/source is confusing…

I’ll close this request now.
