Block IP address automatically for server attack or login failure

I need a program/script to block any IP address that tries to attack the server by making attempt to login to root and other possible linux accounts. Any 4 continuous failed attempt from an IP address should lead to blocking the IP address. Any future traffic from this IP should be completely blocked and rejected.
