Authentication Guard for Symfony 2
This bundle is no longer maintained and the repository will be archived. Symfony has protection against brute force attachs of its own.
INTRODUCTION
The OWASP Guide states "Applications MUST protect credentials from common authentication attacks as detailed in the Testing Guide". Symfony 2 has a firewall and a series of authentication components, but none to protect against brute force and dictionary attacks. This Bundle aims to protect user credentials from these authentication attacks. It is based on the "Tresholds Governer" described in the OWASP Guide.
FEATURES
-
Blocks the primary authentication route by both username and client ip address for which authentication failed too often,
-
To hide weather an account actually exists for a username, any username that is tried too often may be blocked, regardless of the existence and status of an account with that username,
-
Makes a logical difference between failed login lockout (done by this bundle) and eventual administrative lockout (may be done by the UserBundle), so that re-enabling all usernames en masse does not unlock administratively locked users (OWASP requirement).
-
Automatic release of username on authentication success,
- Stores counters instead of individual requests to prevent database flooding from brute force attacks,
REQUIREMENTS
This bundle is for the symfony framework and this version requires Symfony >=2.8.1. (for Symfony ~2.3 use v0.3, for Symfony 2.7 use v0.4) Requires metaclass-nl/tresholds-governor 0.3@dev but the service configuration still requires Doctrine DBAL >=2.3.
RELEASE NOTES
This is a pre-release version under development.
Currently the Bundle can only protect form-based authentication using the security.authentication.listener.form service (Default: Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Firewall\UsernamePasswordFormAuthenticationListener).
Throws specific types of Exceptions for different situations (for logging purposes) and leaves it to the login form to hide differences between them that should not be reported to users.
May be vurnerable to enumeration of usernames through timing attacks because of differences in database query performance for frequently and infrequently used usernames. This is mitigated by sleeping until a fixed execution time is reached. Under normal circomstances that should be sufficient if the fixedExecutionSeconds is set long enough, but under high (database) server loads when performance degrades, under specific conditions information may still be extractable by timing. Furthermore, the measures against timing attacks where not tested for practical effectiveness.
Tested with MySQL 5.5. and 5.7. Tested with PHP7.0.1. Tested with Symfony 3.0.1 and 3.1.3 . (without crsf token) Tested on Symfony 2.8.1 with FOSUserBundle 1.3.6 and 6ccff96 (> 2.0.0 alpha3). Tested on Symfony 3.2.12 and 3.3.5 with FOSUserBundle 2.0.1 and php 7.0.18.
