Login LockDown - A WordPress Enhanced Login Security Plugin

Login LockDown records the IP address and timestamp of every failed WordPress login attempt. If more than a certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range. This helps to prevent brute force password discovery. Currently the plugin defaults to a 1 hour lock out of an IP block after 3 failed login attempts within 5 minutes. This can be modified via the Options panel. Admisitrators can release locked out IP ranges manually from the panel.

Version 1.1 released - Please note, anyone running a MySQL version earlier than 4.1.1 will have gotten an error trying to run Login LockDown 1.0. This has been fixed in version 1.1. No other changes have been made with this release.

Installation instructions:

1. Extract loginlockdown-1.1.zip into your wp-content/plugins directory into its own folder (note: not the root plugins folder, as this may cause the activation routine to fail).
2. Activate the plugin in the Plugin options.
3. Customize the settings from the Options panel, if desired.

Requires at least WordPress 2.1, tested up to 2.2
