The password sites, Yahoo! groups, brtute force script kiddies,
and all the other annoying people had that little
trick figured out by about 2001, though.
"5 Ips in 8 hours" just doesn't do it anymore
when half the links on password sites include the proxy
and every single one of the software versions of password
sites use such techniques to get by that PennyWize
and other old BS "protection".
Nowadays you need a much better approach.
So, after it became clear that the "count the IPs" software
we were installing, Blackbox, wasn't goingto cut it
anymore, we started working on Strongbox.
It's 2 years alater now and Strongbox is now here to give
you the next generation security system for you site.
Ask some of the real pros around here lke Kevin
or DangerDave and see what they use now in 2004.

You use mod-rewrite in your script, right? What about ISP's that block referring headers? I am talking about sharing members area with other sites.
I had a mod-rewrite script to share members areas, and it worked great until some ISP's started blocking referring headers.
