I have noticed an issue where my deployed website is experiencing repeated brute force attacks. Below are some log entries showing multiple failed login attempts from the same IP address:
7/20/2024, 3:11:06 PM fd657034-bd60-488c-be1c-a8800dc5b7bf Failed to verify credentials client_ip: x.x.x.x error: user not found

Request
I propose the implementation of a feature that bans an IP address for 30 days after it fails to verify credentials 3 times within a 5-minute window. This feature would help prevent brute force attacks and improve the security of the website.
Proposed Changes
Track Failed Login Attempts: Implement a mechanism to track the number of failed login attempts for each IP address within a 5-minute window.
Automatic IP Ban: Automatically ban any IP address that fails to verify credentials 3 times within 5 minutes for a duration of 30 days.
Manual IP Ban via Configuration: Provide a configuration file where administrators can manually add IP addresses to be banned.
Example Implementation
Here is an example of how the proposed feature could be implemented:
Tracking Failed Attempts: Maintain a map to track failed login attempts for each IP address along with timestamps.
Automatic Ban Logic: Check the number of failed attempts within the 5-minute window and ban the IP address if it exceeds the threshold.
Configuration File: Allow manual addition of banned IPs through a JSON configuration file.
Benefits
Improved Security: This feature would help mitigate brute force attacks by automatically banning suspicious IP addresses.
Flexibility: Administrators can manually add IPs to the ban list if they notice any suspicious activity.
Implementing this feature would significantly enhance the security of the website by preventing repeated brute force login attempts. Thank you for considering this request.
Given that this project is aimed at security, implementing a feature to prevent brute force attacks is essential.
