README

Very simple Symfony Bundle to count failed login attempts and block users which try too often.

Installation

composer require evozon-php/simple-bruteforce-bundle

Register bundle

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = [
            ...
            new EvozonPhp\SimpleBruteForceBundle\SimpleBruteForceBundle(),
            ...
        ];
        return $bundles;
    }
}

Configuration

simple_brute_force:
    limits:
        // Number of attempts before blocking.
        max_attempts: 5
        // How long the user is blocked - DateInterval duration spec format (ISO 8601)
        block_period: PT10M
        // How many failed attempts before logging an alert.
        alert_attempts: 25
    response:
        // HTTP response code once user is blocked.
        error_code: 403
        // HTTP response message once user is blocked.
        error_message: Forbidden

Customize blocking

Symfony will dispatch a security.authentication.failure event via it's Security component. We listen on that event (AuthenticationFailedSubscriber::onAuthenticationFailure()) and use voters to decide if we increment the number of failed login attempts for the user. To add your own voter, simply tag it with simple_brute_force.security.voter.

app.security.2fa_voter:
    class: App\Security\CustomVoter
    tags:
        - { name: simple_brute_force.security.voter }

Todo

• Create multiple adapters to store failed logins: Redis, Memcached, file, etc. Main benefits would be to skip DB altogether.
• Send and format response content according to Accept request header.
• Add unit tests
