Stopping brute force attacks is not a generic thing. It depends on the kind of attack and how you want to stop them. By default, Hiawatha doesn't do anything against such attack. Read the manual to learn about the options it offers to stop such attack. Look at ReconnectDelay + ConnectionsPerIP, BanOnFlooding, BanOnWrongPassword and ChallengeClient in particular.

TKS Hugo, I used ReconnectDelay + ConnectionsPerIP.
