Connection Spamage

[StormTheGates]

I have a login script, and recently someone made a script in VB that tries to login 1000s of times. This has the problem of opening 1000s of connections to my MYSQL db. Any ideas how I can block this without a script check?

just put a session counter... $_SESSION[logincounter]++; onto your login script... then on your loginsript say if($_SESSION[logincounter]>10) die('FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO!');
