redissentry-core 0.2.0

Module protecting a web framework against password bruteforce attacks

This is generic RedisSentry documentaion, for django specific notes, see django-redissentry docs.

Installation

This is how RedisSentry can be integrated into any python-powered project (eg Flask):

from redissentry import RedisSentry

def protected_auth(username, password):
    sentry = RedisSentry(ip, username)
    msg = sentry.ask()
    if msg:
        raise Exception(msg)
    res = auth(username, password)
    msg = sentry.inform(bool(res))
    if not res:
        raise Exception('Incorrect username or password. ' + msg)
    return res

where auth() is the original auth function.
