We have pennywize in place and it blocks the brute force guys and kills passwords that are being accessed from more than a certain number of subnets in a 24 hour period.
How can i get something like this?

This seems to be the way to go.
first you should identify how they get in the first place.

- some of them use bruteforce attacks to guess the logins.
- some of them find a backdoor to insert their own user logins into your user management system.

pennywize is good for detecting multiple uses of the same login but you need a solution that blocks brute force attacks at the server connection level as well, so they dont even get to apache.
