   Hello Daryl,

   There is a port of fail2ban for Windows (the name escapes me now).  However,    
   if you're going to do it right, you'd use an edge firewall appliance and block    
   the script kiddies that way.  I'm working on setting up an IPfire box    
   (ipfire.org) to do just that when I have time.  Now that I'm traveling for one    
   week out of every four, that doesn't leave me a lot of time to tinker anymore    
   with my current work schedule.  Supporting factories all over the US requires    
   a good bit of travel.   
      
   So I'm using that as an excuse to buy a 17" mobile workstation laptop to bring    
   with me on my travels so I can spend evenings working on my computers via    
   remote. :D
