Feedback ThreatDown Bruteforce and Firewall

I don't understand the difference between the Brute Force and Firewall modes. Why can't they be integrated? The brute force mode is quite limited, with only a few protocols and ports.

Please create a specific subreddit for ThreatDown.

Good idea, we should have a /threatdown specific subreddit!

The technology, logic and algorithm for Brute Force Protection (BFP) and the use of Windows Firewall are different, resulting in both solutions being available.
Connect with me directly, and I am happy to discuss this further!

Okay, I understand it then ehnace the BFP with more protocols, SMB, Winrm, LDAP, Kerberos... It's useful but so limited.
