| 9 authentication attempts. | |

| 11 It features an optioanal | |
| 12 [tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e. | |
| 13 waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Configuration | |
| 16 ============= | |
| 17 | |
| 18 ``` {.lua} | |
| 19 modules_enabled = { | |
| 20 -- your other modules | |
| 21 "limit_auth"; | |
| 22 } | |
| 23 | |
| 24 limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds | |
| 25 | |
