This is a simple to
install cgi script
that stops brute force
attacks on password
protected member areas using
htaccess by limiting the
number of failed
authentication attempts (401
errors) by each unique user.
Once the threshold is
exceeded, hackers are banned
from accessing the site and
members are protected from
having their passwords
stolen. The program logs all
attacks and the webmaster
can optionally be notified
by email whenever an attack
occurs. Allows real time
surveillance of all
successful logins into the
members area detailing the
number of logins for each
user.
