For security, we need a method blocking brute force attacks, but I haven't found any information in RabbitMQ docs.

Does RabbitMQ support a method blocking brute force attacks?

 It throttles publishers when alarms are in effect or some internal parts of the broker do not keep up
with publishers:

https://www.rabbitmq.com/alarms.html
https://www.rabbitmq.com/memory.html
https://www.rabbitmq.com/disk-alarms.html
https://www.rabbitmq.com/connection-blocked.html
https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2015/10/06/new-credit-flow-settings-on-rabbitmq-3-5-5/

What specifically do you mean by "method blocking"? You can block all connections
that publish messages by setting memory watermark to a very low value (e.g. 1 MB).

Sorry for I mistaken describe.

If someone is using brute force to get our password of RabbitMQ, we need to block the user or reject its connections.

Does the server support that?
