News to me, his website says that he only protects FTP,SSH & Telnet
using recent module!? [1]

Looking at the website it seems Brian doesn't use the recent module at
all!? He has a lovely GUI for IPtables though.
These package are commercial so I don't wish for them to give their
secrets away anyway :-) It would be nice though if someone could tell me
this really is possible. So far I think Chris Hemsing has summed up
best why this is not possible in post coba-e:09210.
