django-fast-iprestrict 0.7.0

No project description provided

django-fast-iprestrict

Django-fast-iprestrict provides a secure facility based on the django admin framework to restrict the access for the whole project or for parts of it to special ips or denylisting some ip networks. Internal only networks are used for ip matching and for path matching regex is used (Note: when regex is turned of (default) the pathmatcher just escapes the strings before feeding them to the regex pattern)

The name comes from the relationship to django-fast-ratelimit.

It is even possible to use django-fast-iprestrict in django-fast-ratelimit

Installation

pip install django-fast-iprestrict[ratelimit]

# or the limited without ratelimit integration

pip install django-fast-iprestrict

Now add to python settings

settings:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "django_fast_iprestrict",
]

# if wanted (it is also possible to use this tool only with django-fast-ratelimit)

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    "django_fast_iprestrict.middleware.fast_iprestrict",
    ...
]

Note: pip >= 19 is required

usage

admin panel

In the admin panel is now a section Ip Restrict. It contains multiple subsections from which only Rule allows to create new objects. The other subsections are only an overview.

All of these subsections contain a test utility for checking arbitary pathes and ips

Rule pathes like .* can be used to match for the whole project.

Rules are evalutated like a waterfall: the lowest position to the highest position. State disabled rules are skipped

Note: ipv4 and ipv6 rules are not interoperable. If the network does not match they are skipped like if they are in state "disabled".

programmatically

The rule names can be used for the django-fast-ratelimit adapter:

import django_fast_ratelimit as ratelimit

r = ratelimit.get_ratelimit(key="django_fast_iprestrict.apply_iprestrict", groups="rulename", rate="1/1s")

# or when only checking ips and not pathes (when pathes are available)

r = ratelimit.get_ratelimit(key="django_fast_iprestrict.apply_iprestrict:ignore_pathes", groups="rulename", rate="1/1s")

# or as decorator
@ratelimit(key="django_fast_iprestrict.apply_iprestrict", groups="rulename", rate="1/1s")
def foo(request):
    return ""

Sources (GEOIP)

For GEOIP or other stuff sources can be used.

Sources are functions with prefixes in IPRESTRICT_ALLOWED_FN_PREFIXES (can also be the whole function).

Restriction: "_" prefixed functions are not allowed

They are referenced in admin with their path, e.g.:

tests.test_basic.test_iprestrict_gen (=also working example in dev environment with test_settings)

Ratelimits

ratelimits require the companion library django-fast-ratelimit. And they work only with it! Otherwise crashes are preprogrammed

Ratelimit keys are either the default builtin functions or functions with prefixes in IPRESTRICT_ALLOWED_FN_PREFIXES

behaviour

ipv4 ipv6

mapped ipv4 addresses are extracted to plain ipv4 addresses. Networks only match if their type is matching to the ip. Therefor IPv4 networks will be ignored when checking an IPv6 address

catch alls

When a rule has neither an active network, source nor path it is treated as a catch all for match_ip. This means it resolves for every ip.

A such catch all is not used for path checks. When a path is added to the catch all the behaviour changes:

when the path matches and no network nor source is attached to the rule, it resolves without an ip check.

This allows a path catch all with a path like: .* with is_regex set

settings

IPRESTRICT_ALLOWED_FN_PREFIXES: defaults to [] (empty list) IPRESTRICT_CACHE: select cache, defaults to "default" cache IPRESTRICT_KEY_PREFIX: cache key prefix, defaults to "fip:" IPRESTRICT_DEFAULT_ACTION: "allow"/"deny" : default action when no rule matches, default, when unset is "allow". "allow" or unset is strongly recommended except you want to set the rules programmatically IPRESTRICT_TRUSTED_PROXIES: set list of trusted proxies RATELIMIT_TRUSTED_PROXIES: fallback when IPRESTRICT_TRUSTED_PROXIES is unset IPRESTRICT_TESTCLIENT_FALLBACK: fallback for the string testclient in the ip field. Dev setting for tests RATELIMIT_TESTCLIENT_FALLBACK: fallback when IPRESTRICT_TESTCLIENT_FALLBACK is unset

The ratelimit settings are fallbacks, so the settings must only be set on one place

development

a development environment can be setup this way (poetry is recommended):

# installation then
poetry run ./manage.py createsuperuser
poetry run ./manage.py runserver

Note:

given the lack of tests and the early development state, it is possible that some parts have erratas.

TODO

• localization?
• remote fetch sources and cache them. Use get_many set_many to retrieve them
• docs for new settings
