Detailed Description

Tracks different kinds of (invalid) attempts within a specific period.

To use this class, create an instance and then call addAttempt() everytime a bad attempt is made. Then you can check if the allowable number of attempts has been exceeded.

  AttemptsTracker at;
  ...
  //... Some attempt at a resource that might need to be tracked
  if (at.isLocked())
    return;

  // ... Perform validation, if validation fails
  at.addAttempt();
