A smart Django security package to auto-block suspicious traffic

Project description

django-secux

django-secux is a simple yet powerful Django security package that protects heavy-load pages by rate-limiting access based on real usage patterns stored in the database.


🚀 Features

  • 🔐 Blocks pages when abnormal request patterns are detected
  • 📊 Logs each view's daily request count in your database
  • 🕝 Automatically blocks overused views for a customizable time window
  • ✅ Super easy to use with just a decorator!

📦 Installation

pip install django-secux

Then add it to your Django project:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'django_secux',
]

Apply migrations:

python manage.py makemigrations django_secux
python manage.py migrate

⚙️ Usage

Just decorate your heavy or sensitive views with @ai_ratelimit():

from django_secux.decorator import ai_ratelimit

@ai_ratelimit()
def my_view(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world!")

This view will now be monitored. If accessed too frequently within a day, it will be blocked for 5 minutes.


✏️ Customization

You can customize the block and warning messages shown to users in your settings.py:

SECUX_MESSAGES = {
    "blocked": "⛔ This page is temporarily blocked. Please try again later.",
    "rate_exceeded": "⚠️ Rate limit exceeded. This page is blocked temporarily.",
}

Feel free to translate or rephrase these messages as needed.
