Hi All,

here is a scenario that has come up.
Lets says there is a generic server that is on a dmz, and there are many password attempts on the server.  Is there a 
tool that would allow for a tcp reset, or connection drop , or possible bar future sessions from that IP?
I am thinking of a script that parses a log, looks for repeated attempts from the same IP, and then calls a tool that 
drops the connection.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
