I want to know the answer to the following question:
What does deliberately entering the wrong password enough consecutive times cause?
All the background I'm provided with is that "While a network attack from a single IP address can be blocked by adding a new firewall rule, many forms of Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are possible, where the attack comes from a large number of points – and defending is much more difficult.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
