How to be with a Russian ip when trying to brute force?
There is a small news site in the city and consistently someone, but tries to match passwords from the admin panel, then FTP, ssh, all from foreign ip ban forever(for the subnets), then the conversation is short, but often come across Russian and are now in quarantine very often it is Russian, what to do with them? The owner of the website of a major firm in the city, theoretically, and claim to the police, but is it worth it, because all ip one request made and all, ip changed, and so can be up to 100 times per minute, for 5 minutes, the server for this load do not care keeps.

Well also send to the ban. What's the problem? For ssh change port, keys and whitelist the IP.
For all services to make a white list of IP
Where possible, change the port and hung the encryption
Where possible, you use certificates/keys
Address otpravlyat ban
Use some waf just in and hammer on the fool
Let the one who breaks, break dev with the "left" of the website and he will calm down.

Tomorrow with these IPS will come normal users, those it is necessary to ban only the entrance to the admin, not the whole website.
And, it is better to make a white list of allowed IP, it is finite, whereas black - endless.
