Hello,

I'm trying to source software that can monitor failed login attempts. 

I require this to be informed if a userID is being battered by different
passwords to gain entry illegal into the system. 

I'd rather buy than build, so does anyone know of a software in existence?

If I'm forced to write it, maybe someone super intelligent can give me
advise on a way to tackle this challenge.

Thanks in Advance!

Cesar
