cpHulk : It’s a Brute Force Protection system in a WHM/cPanel server.
By enabling this feature from the WHM we can protect the server from unwanted login attempts.
In this article I am explaining the steps to whitelist your IP address on cPanel’s cphulkBrute Force Protection system.
We can simply configure the cpHulk from the WHM panel. I got the below pasted error when I checked one server which has cPanel login issue with a client.
Error details:
# tailf /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log
Duplicate logaccess: at cpsrvd-ssl line 3000
main::badpass('faillog', 'brute force attempt (user root) has locked out IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xx...', 'skip_hulk', 1, 'msg_code', 'invalid_login') called at cpsrvd-ssl line 5790

Do not worry about that, here is a simple script to Whitelist the IP address on cpHulk service.
/scripts/cphulkdwhitelist
Usage:
/scripts/cphulkdwhitelist IP-Address
Dockerize your NodeJS app with Nginx as reverse proxy
You can simply white-list the IP address on cpHulk from the WHM control panel itself. Here is the steps to White-list and Black-list IP in cpHulked from WHM.
First Step: Login to WHM panel.
Second Step: Go to,
Home >> Security Center >> cPHulk Brute Force Protection
Third Step: Select “White/Black list management“
From there, you can see the options to White/Black list IPs quickly. There is also an option to edit the entries 🙂
That’s it!

I have this same problem today on my site “websites-software-solutions” and just waited 20 minutes and it fixed itself. I agree whitelisting the IP is the way to go.
That might be a temporary IP block in server firewall. 😉
When I am trying to /scripts/cphulkdwhitelist IP-Address I get the following errer “cphulkd is not enabled”
You can enable it by using the following command;
/usr/local/cpanel/etc/init/startcphulkd
