Hi,

My SQL server is has a public IP address admins and developers can access
and manage remotely (this is the requirement)

When I monitor the SQL server port I can see some one is brutally trying to
hack my server. There are almost 70 connections from IP address
66.15.173.105 that try to connect to my server.

My guess is he is trying to use brute force technique to find the sa
password.

What is the best way to prevent that? Can I adjust some settings, to have
failed logins wait for 10 seconds?

Any help would be appreciated,

Alan
