David,
Is it possible to cause the client to wait by the server issuing a
SLEEP? What if the client just disconnectes and immeadiately reconnects?
Say you use a sleep of 2 seconds. If your server can accept 100
connections at once then 1 client can issue 100 login attempts and wait
2 seconds for th
Is there an option for mysqld to add a sleep() call after each failed
connection request, before reporting to the client (to slow down brute
force attack)? I glanced at the manual and there doesn't seem to be one.
If there isn't, would it be a good idea? If yes, I could probably submit
a patch.
