- block the entire netblock (iptables can do that too)
- complain at the provider
  (repeated password attempts are really old-school and should get anyone
  ejected from their isp/whatever)
- upgrade wu-ftpd to the latest version
- if wu-ftpd is at the latest version, there should be nothing hackable in
  there. If there is, we would sure like to know.
