I have noticed that earlier today I had someone trying to brute force hack my website.... They sent about 8-10 attempts per second at my servers trying to gain entry... My error log shows that they sent somewhere around 1400 attempts at gaining entry in just a few minutes... Needless to say that will eventually bog down my system and stop legitimate users from gaining entry... Is it possible to make an option that will not only ban paid users that share their accounts but also to ban a specific IP that hits multiple times a second on the login script / database even if they do not have an account??

Unfortunately, there is no such feature, but it is easy to do from your site .htaccess http://www.clockwatchers.com/htaccess_block.html
