I was thinking of something similar, but in reverse -- turn this into part tarpit, part honeypot.

I was thinking I could take the IP address of anyone who hangs out in the tarpit for longer than a minute or so and automatically add it to my firewall's blacklist.

I used to run an honeypot.

For fun and giggles, I also kept the user and password they tried to see if any of my systems was at risk
