What's so difficult about it? Obviously it would have to be an 'optional feature' (doesn't everything?), but if there are more than 20 or so failed login attempts to a username, the UBB could then refuse to accept login attempts from that IP / to that Username more than once every 30/60 secs. That way, any brute-forcer that's running will be slowed down to a crawl... 1 attempt every 60 seconds? Expect the password to be cracked in a few YEARS...
That actualy sounds pretty cool... would be neat if we could have a "tighter security" modification we could distribute several of these in... as an idea comes up and it's tested, it could be added to it.
