xmlrpc and wp-login attacks

Ahoy
I'm getting a log of attacks mainly on the wordpress xmlrpc and wp-login.php files.
Is they a way to configure CSF to auto block these request as soon as they happen?
Some of these are now overloading the server.

Short answer, yes.
You need a custom regex for CSF - I haven't had the time to fully research this and don't know the syntax enough.
Wordfence helps a bit but doesn't stop the idiots trying.
(You could also setup a honeypot and block them that way)
