Hi, here is some tips & tricks :

Easy steps :
1. Use Google CAPTCHA for all type of forms.
2. Use Web Aplication Firewall like Apache ModSecurity Free rules from COMODO
3. Use a secondary autentifications with .htaccess or set in CPanel / Plesk the "Password Directories" when you want to access the administration folder

Need better knowledge for this:
1. Try to restrict access through .htaccess to all PHP files except that is necessary like index.php
2. Rename the "admin" folder to whatever but don't forget to make the necessary changes in config files and modifications folders

Very simple steps but I think very powerful as well.

hackers like to create fake admin login quick to overload server, so I created an .htpasswd file for pre-authorization, after correct user/password user can view admin login page

I do it a little differently. First, I change the location of the admin folder.
And on the standard path I leave a simple page with a form that does nothing :)
If you wish, you can collect the addresses of those who want to log in and ban them.
