django-axes 6.0.2

Keep track of failed login attempts in Django-powered sites.

django-axes

Axes is a Django plugin for keeping track of suspicious login attempts for your Django based website and implementing simple brute-force attack blocking.

The name is sort of a geeky pun, since it can be interpreted as:

• access, as in monitoring access attempts, or

• axes, as in tools you can use to hack (generally on wood).

Functionality

Axes records login attempts to your Django powered site and prevents attackers from attempting further logins to your site when they exceed the configured attempt limit.

Axes can track the attempts and persist them in the database indefinitely, or alternatively use a fast and DDoS resistant cache implementation.

Axes can be configured to monitor login attempts by IP address, username, user agent, or their combinations.

Axes supports cool off periods, IP address whitelisting and blacklisting, user account whitelisting, and other features for Django access management.

1.6.0 (2016-01-07)

• Stopped using render_to_response so that other template engines work [tarkatronic]

• Improved performance & DoS prevention on query2str [tarkatronic]

• Immediately return from is_already_locked if the user is not lockable [jdunck]

• Iterate over ip addresses only once [annp89]

• added initial migration files to support django 1.7 &up. Upgrading users should run migrate –fake-initial after update [ibaguio]

• Allow for user-defined username field for lookup in POST data [SteveByerly]

• Log out only if user was logged in [zoten]

• Support for floats in cooloff time (i.e: 0.1 == 6 minutes) [marianov]

• Limit amount of POST data logged (#73). Limiting the length of value is not enough, as there could be arbitrary number of them, or very long key names. [peterkuma]

• Improve get_ip to try for real ip address [7wonders]

• Change IPAddressField to GenericIPAddressField. When using a PostgreSQL database and the client does not pass an IP address you get an inet error. This is a known problem with PostgreSQL and the IPAddressField. https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5622. It can be fixed by using a GenericIPAddressField instead. [polvoblanco]

• Get first X-Forwarded-For IP [tutumcloud]

• White listing IP addresses behind reverse proxy. Allowing some IP addresses to have direct access to the app even if they are behind a reverse proxy. Those IP addresses must still be on a white list. [ericbulloch]

• Reduce logging of reverse proxy IP lookup and use configured logger. Fixes #76. Instead of logging the notice that django.axes looks for a HTTP header set by a reverse proxy on each attempt, just log it one-time on first module import. Also use the configured logger (by default axes.watch_login) for the message to be more consistent in logging. [eht16]
