Hi, How do I go about blocking someone, from my website... I keep getting Brute Force Monitor attacked, heres the info. I enabled this in DA - Blacklist IPs for excessive DA login attempts after login attempts. and Parse service logs for brute force attacks but it does not block them as these are the Brute logs. This is only part of the log, theres about 15 pages all from 1 day.

Block 74.207.236.157 in iptables, and report to abuse at Linode.

I notice it hasnt been mentioned, CSF + LFD would automatically detect and block these for you: http://configserver.com/cp/csf.html

Consider installing PSAD, to prevent port scanning.
