Propose: make adjustments at login page to make difficult brute force attack.

Today, an intruder can make login tries without any action from Wok.

Possible measures:

Record source port and ip. After 3 tries, block user for 30 seconds and increase the time by each more try. Using source port and ip will avoid errors for connections from NAT networks.

Example:

1) ip 192.168.1.1 tries to login as root 3 times and fail

You will consider ip and port, right? So when ip and port tries to login as root 3 times and fail...

2) A timeout of 30 seconds will be set

Does that mean the user will not be allowed to perform a login action for 30 seconds?

3) After that, for 5 minutes, each try will add 30 seconds + x times the trial (60 seconds, 90 seconds. ..)

Not sure I got what you want here. After the 30 seconds block, the user will be able to try to login again.
How many attempts he/she can try to login again before get blocked?

Will he/she get blocked for 5 minutes in the second round of attempts?

4) After 5 minutes of the last try, the counter will be reset.
