Comment (by mpol):

 I'm sure some ideas are possible, not all ideas are bad or unworkable. I
 like the Captcha idea after 3 failed login attempts.
 Another idea is to wait 3 seconds if the password is wrong. Just like SSH
 does. I'll attach a patch for that (very simple).
 I'm sure other ideas are welcome here. There's not a single solution, but
 some ideas will make it for the attackers less convenient.
