You mean login attempts over the net, like with SSH or FTP? Then it
hardly was something like portsentry or psad. Do you maybe mean the
usage of pam_tally? But that would not "drop packets". You could try to
remember a script which works with a log observer like swatch which
itself then calls iptables rules to drop connections from the foreign
IP.
