Authentication attempts made against to /cgi-bin/luci/admin/ and ssh are not logged or limited in any way. An attacker can brute force passwords without any limitations or outward indications to a device administrator.

Lock out authentications after a number of failed attempts. Log failed attempts and present recent failures to the device administrator upon successful authentication.
