You might want to look at something a little more modern than
Pennywize and it's clones, which are just naive IP counters,
the adult industries first attempt at doing something about
this problem 8 years ago. Technology has advanced quite
ab it since then.
As explained in a widely circulated 1999 paper, Pennywize
actually makes it easier for an attacker to sucessfully perform
a dictionary attack against your site.
