I am trying to do this with pf and altq at the moment, pf basically provides some ways to detect a brute force attempt while altq provides a way to limit the outgoing bandwidth. Not sure how well this works yet as I am not sure how to test it, but if anyone is interested I can post my pf.conf here.
