[RFC] [Wok] #147 Block authentication request after too many failures
Propose: make adjustments at login page to make difficult brute force attack. Today, an intruder can make login tries without any action from Wok. Possible measures: Record source port and ip. After 3 tries, block user for 30 seconds and increase the time by each more try. Using source port and ip will avoid errors for connections from NAT networks. Example: 1) ip 192.168.1.1 tries to login as root 3 times and fail 2) A timeout of 30 seconds will be set 3) After that, for 5 minutes, each try will add 30 seconds + x times the trial (60 seconds, 90 seconds. ..) 4) After 5 minutes of the last try, the counter will be reset. -- Ramon Nunes Medeiros Kimchi Developer Linux Technology Center Brazil IBM Systems & Technology Group Phone : +55 19 2132 7878 ramonn@br.ibm.com

Example:
1) ip 192.168.1.1 tries to login as root 3 times and fail
You will consider ip and port, right? So when ip and port tries to login as root 3 times and fail...
2) A timeout of 30 seconds will be set
Does that mean the user will not be allowed to perform a login action for 30 seconds?
3) After that, for 5 minutes, each try will add 30 seconds + x times the trial (60 seconds, 90 seconds. ..)
Not sure I got what you want here. After the 30 seconds block, the user will be able to try to login again. How many attempts he/she can try to login again before get blocked? Will he/she get blocked for 5 minutes in the second round of attempts?
4) After 5 minutes of the last try, the counter will be reset.

yep
2) A timeout of 30 seconds will be set
Does that mean the user will not be allowed to perform a login action for 30 seconds?
yep. based on ip and port
3) After that, for 5 minutes, each try will add 30 seconds + x times the trial (60 seconds, 90 seconds. ..)

I was thinking about this: 1st try -> denied 2nd try -> denied 3rd try -> denied 30s timeout After this 30s, other timeout will be added, letting user try just 1 time. If the mismatch continues, more time will be added. Let me explain: 5 minutes window: 4th try -> denied Then we will add a new timeout block, but greater (60s) After 60s timeout: 5th try -> denied New timeout 90s So, after received a 30s timeout, the user will be 5 minutes sensible to the algorithm. Let me know if it was clear
4) After 5 minutes of the last try, the counter will be reset.

Yeap! It is clearer now. I'd suggest to let user tries at least 3 times before blocking him/her again. first 3 failures = block for 30 seconds more 3 failures = block for 1 min more 3 failures = block for 2 min more 3 failures = block for 3 min
4) After 5 minutes of the last try, the counter will be reset.

Got a new issue: When using username+ ip + port as unique identifier, i saw that the port is not used too much times. Take a look at this log: { u'a127.0.0.153634': [{'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53634, 'time': 1484672673.735578}], u'a127.0.0.153636': [{'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53636, 'time': 1484672676.018149}], u'a127.0.0.153630': [{'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53630, 'time': 1484672664.44004}], u'a127.0.0.153632': [{'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53632, 'time': 1484672668.298648}], u'a127.0.0.153628': [{'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53628, 'time': 1484672661.977025}] } In 5 tries, 5 different ports were used. So, remote port isn't a good information. I tried to use cherrypy.session.originalid. Which, seems to be better. take a look at this test: 4 attemps, the first went with a different originalid. The others with the same: {u'a127.0.0.13534ea7fa9cdb23e37ae914f2e6cf7b0e04dab28': [{'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53770, 'time': 1484673652.558314}], u'a127.0.0.1a7f2be8054048de62d2ce90e57939ee5ebb55fae': [ {'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53772, 'time': 1484673655.356095}, {'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53774, 'time': 1484673657.863454}, {'username': u'a', 'ip': '127.0.0.1', 'port': 53776, 'time': 1484673660.436111}]} On 12/22/2016 01:59 PM, Ramon Medeiros wrote:
