Prion Brute (Lumen/Laraval 5 Package)
=====================================

[](#prion-brute-lumenlaraval-5-package)

Prion Brute monitors and enforces brute force attempts.

Tested on Lumen 7

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require "prion-development/brute:5.6.*"`

In config/app.php, add the following provider: `PrionDevelopment\Providers\BruteProviderService::class`

Automated Setup
---------------

[](#automated-setup)

Run the following command for automated setup. `php artisan prionbrute:setup`

Clear or reset your Laravel config cache. `php artisan config:clear``php artisan config:cache`

License
-------

[](#license)

Prion Brute is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).

Check for Lock
--------------

[](#check-for-lock)

Check and see if $key is blocked: `Brute::isLocked($key);`

Unlock $key: `Brute::unlock($key);`

Lock $key: This will only lock a key if the number of attempts is great than or equal to the maximum. `Brute::lock($key);`

Force a lock on $key: `Brute::lock($key, true);`

Manage Attempts
---------------

[](#manage-attempts)

To add an attempt: If the number of tries matches or is greater than the max number of tries, we will block $key. `Brute::attempt($key);`

Attempts on $key: `Brute::attempts($key);`

Remove an attempt on $key: `Brute::removeAttempt($key)`

Remove "x" attempts on $key: `Brute::removeAttempt($key, x)`

Maximum number of attempts on $key: `Brute::max($key);`

Remove all attempts and blocks on a key `Brute::clear($key);`

How Brute works
---------------

[](#how-brute-works)

You can push a string into brute as an "attempt". An attempt records a UTC timestamp in the default cache database using a unique key. When the number of attempts is greater than the set limit, the key is locked.

We automatically expire attempts if the timestamp is outside of the expiration config.

Running Tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

1. Make sure composer packages are installed (`composer update`)
2. vendor/bin/phpunit

Check for Lock
--------------
