I'm under attack! I have pages up and down with failed login attempts, usually they are trying to hack the root account (which simply can't be used to get in by SSH) but they are also trying to access the system with various usernames (bruth force). Is it easy to load a package that simply adds a deny entry for each IP that has failed to login for X amounts of tries?
