Installation

pip install nai-security

With all optional dependencies:

pip install nai-security[all]

Or install from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/nematiai/nai-security.git

Quick Start

1. Add to INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "nai_security",
]

2. Add Middleware

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware",
    ...
    "nai_security.middleware.SecurityMiddleware",
    ...
    "nai_security.middleware.RateLimitLoggingMiddleware",
]

3. Configure Settings

GEOIP_PATH = "/path/to/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb"

4. Run Migrations

python manage.py migrate

5. Download GeoIP Database

python manage.py download_geoip

Dependencies

Required:

• Django >= 4.2
• geoip2 >= 4.0
• redis >= 4.0

Optional:

• django-axes >= 8.3 (login attempt tracking and lockout)
• django-ratelimit >= 4.0 (rate limiting)
• django-import-export >= 3.0 (admin import/export)
• django-unfold >= 0.10 (admin theme)

Axes Integration

Enable brute-force protection with dynamic settings controlled from the admin panel:

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "axes",
    "nai_security",
]

AXES_HANDLER = 'nai_security.handlers.axes_integration.DynamicAxesHandler'

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = [
    'axes.backends.AxesStandaloneBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
]

This gives you admin-configurable control over:

Setting	Description
Max login attempts	Failed attempts before lockout (default: 5)
Cooloff time	Minutes before locked accounts auto-unlock (0 = permanent)
Attempt expiry	Each failed attempt expires independently

All changes take effect immediately — no server restart required.

python manage.py download_geoip

# Sync disposable email domains and bad bot lists
