Basically I have an authlog/syslog file with a list of log in attempts and IP addresses - I need to make a Python program that will create a txt file with all the IP addresses that have more than 5 failed login attempts - a sort of "blacklist".

So basically something like:

if "uniqueipaddress" and "authentication failure" appear more than 5 times, add uniqueipaddress to txt file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - please try and make it simple as I am very, very inexperienced in programming in Python! Thanks.
