Bremersee Failed Access Counter

This project contains a small protection against brute-force-attacks.

A failed access counter stores failed access entries of a resource for a remote host, that wants to access the resource. The resource may be, for example, the login page. When the login has failed, this may be stored in the failed access counter. When the counter of the failed access entry has reached a threshold the login can be blocked for a while.

The failed access counter needs a DAO (interface FailedAccessDao) to persist the failed access entries. Currently there are four DAO implementations available:

• FailedAccessInMemoryDao: Persists the entries in memory.
• FailedAccessJpaDao: Persists the entries in a SQL database.
• FailedAccessLdapDao: Persists the entries in a LDAP server.
• FailedAccessMongoDao: Persists the entries in a MongoDB.

The generated maven site is committed to the gh-pages branch and visible here. There you can find more information.

Bremersee Failed Access Counter Example

This project contains for each DAO a small Spring Boot Application that demonstrates the usage and configuration of the Failed Access Counter library.

It's not available at Maven Central. You may check it out and build the application with

$ cd fac/bremersee-fac-example
$ mvn clean install

Than go to one of the modules and run the application (all examples use an in-memory storage):

$ cd bremersee-fac-example-ldap
$ mvn spring-boot:run

After the application is started you can open http://localhost:8080/entries.html in your favorite browser and have a look at the demonstration.
