Password Hurler Protection

This is a simple to install cgi script that stops brute force attacks on password protected member areas using htaccess by limiting the number of failed authentication attempts (401 errors) by each unique user. Once the threshold is exceeded, hackers are banned from accessing the site and members are protected from having their passwords stolen. The program logs all attacks and the webmaster can optionally be notified by email whenever an attack occurs. Allows real time surveillance of all successful logins into the members area detailing the number of logins for each user.
