Recording # of login attempts.

My original idea to record the number of login attempts was to use a cookie, but there are other ways besides browsers to test logins. Is there a way of recording login attempts, say for the IP, without using a table in the DB? Thanks as always

You have to persist the login attempts between each page load somehow, use DB, file, cookie or session

If someone is using the website say.. via command line using a script to check logins, does the CI session class still record the IP?

IP is from the $_SERVER global not $_SESSION, so yes.
