Brute Force Shield (archived)
=============================

[](#brute-force-shield-archived)

This storage-agnostic engine is archived and is no longer the implementation used by production CakePHP applications. It remains available only for existing non-CakePHP users and historical reference.

For CakePHP 5 applications, use [`ali1/cakephp-bruteforce`](https://github.com/Ali1/cakephp-bruteforce). That package now contains the complete limiter, CakePHP cache integration, locking, safe logging, proxy-bypass backstop, and current PHP/CakePHP support.

No new security fixes should be added here and then assumed to protect CakePHP consumers; make them in the CakePHP plugin instead.

Legacy requirements
-------------------

[](#legacy-requirements)

- PHP 7.2+
- A caller-supplied persistent store

Legacy tests
------------

[](#legacy-tests)

```
composer test
