Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for performing actions to protect a wireless access point (AP) from repeated incorrect security credential input attacks. For example, a combination of techniques are implemented to block a wireless station (STA) from submitting innumerable number of incorrect security credential inputs to connect to the wireless AP by using embargo lists to block the wireless STA media access control (MAC) address after N number of consecutive unsuccessful attempts to connect to the wireless AP, using telescopic delays to make it progressively harder for the wireless STA to attack (that is, repeatedly submit incorrect security credential inputs) at regular short intervals, and/or determining position of the wireless STA of the attacker and then block attacks from all wireless STAs at the determined location.
