It looks very interesting.  Thanks a lot for sharing this.

May I suggest you to make a recipe with this code and publish it in
the cookbook ?  I am pretty sure there would be a lot of interest for
it, and we would get more comments/suggestions and reports.

Anyway, I will try this very soon on my own as my logs keep showing
automated login attempts and I definitely want to stop them.

Just an idea: when an attack is suspected, we could also sleep() for
30 seconds before returning anything, that should calm things too...

Thanks again for your help.

Christophe
