Some idiot is trying to log into one of my servers by doing a login attempt every 5 minutes from various different alternating IP addresses. Looks like a long running dictionary attack or something.

Dude, give up already. It’s spaming my logs. I don’t even know my password myself. And unless you also have my 2FA tokens you are out of luck anyway.

To mitigate the logspam I’m making a new rule.

3 Strikes and you are out. If any IP has 3 failed attempts it gets blocked forever. I hope the guy has unlimited IP addresses if he wants to keep this up.
