    hello –

    i just installed limit-login-attempts-reloaded and i just had my first customer in a couple of hours!

    i am VERY tempted to modify line 1031 of

    /wp-content/plugins/limit-login-attempts-reloaded/core/LimitLoginAttempts.php

    <p>%2$d failed login attempts (%3$d lockout(s)) from IP <b>%4$s</b><br>

    to include a link to the following:

    https://www.abuseipdb.com/report?ip=###.###.###.###
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/###.###.###.###

    every time i get a break-in, i report them to both services.

    any opinion to modifying code? i certainly understand that every new release the code will need to be reintroduced.

    i am getting hit like crazy lately. until i move the WP sites over to Auth0 login, i made the follow changes:

    /home/comptonpesltrainers.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/limit-login-attempts/limit-login-attempts.php

    line 543-545:

    $message = sprintf(__(“%d failed login attempts (%d lockout(s)) from IP: %s”
    , ‘limit-login-attempts’) . “\r\n\r\n”
    , $count, $lockouts, $ip);

    new:

    $message = sprintf(__(“%d failed login attempts (%d lockout(s)) from IP: — %s https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/%s ”
    , ‘limit-login-attempts’) . “\r\n\r\n”
    , $count, $lockouts, $ip, $ip);

    please share any opinions with me.
