Django-ratelimit-backend

Rate-limit your login attempts at the authentication backend level. Login attempts are stored in the cache for 5 minutes and IPs with more than 30 failed login attempts in the last 5 minutes are blocked.

The numbers (30 attempts, 5 minutes) as well as the blocking strategy can be customized.
