This protocol anomaly detects multiple login/authentication failures between a unique pair of hosts within a short period of time. Vulnerability scanners and programs like enum that perform dictionary based or password-guessing attacks will likely trigger this attack. The number of login failures to trigger this attack can be configured in the Sensor Settings Rulebase of your Security Policy.
