Not in the same way, no. There are tools/policies that will stop one from
connecting endlessly from the same IP. Certainly on Linux, you can try over
and over. Matter of fact, here's a random Linux test box I have on the

*Last login: Tue Dec 3 19:12:22 EST 2024 on pts/0 *
*There were 79522 failed login attempts since the last successful login*
:)
