Lindamight and several other people here are using my Strongbox,
which is definitely the next generation protection,
FAR advanced beyond the 1997 ideas of pennydumb et al.
The preety new site isn't ready just yet but yopu can find
more info at:

It's Strongbox, Joe. Black Box was Mike's old referer based thing.
Joe, you've got a really old version of Strongbox, you should see it now! It rocks.

Yeah, no shit. It was 1998 or 1999 when I first actually
saw someone do a complete end run around Pennydumb and
the exact same attack still works the exact same way.
They haven't updated since then to fix it.
Pennydumb is a joke. 3 days ago I installed Strongbox for a guy
who had been using Pennywize for years and wouldn't listen
to anyone who told him how bad it sucked.
With 4 minutes Strongbox detected the first username
that pennywize had been missing for months.
Within 24 hours Strongbox caught 13 different usernames
that were out in the wild an Pennydumb didn't know shit.
