Flask-based WAF with Protection Against Brute Force Attacks

Original price was: ₹ 7,500.00.Current price is: ₹ 6,000.00.

This project focuses on developing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) using Flask to defend against brute-force attacks. The firewall monitors and protects against repeated login attempts, typically associated with dictionary attacks. It works by tracking login attempts and temporarily blocking IP addresses after a predefined number of failed login attempts. Flask is used for its simplicity and flexibility, while this WAF can be integrated with existing web applications, providing an extra layer of security. Additionally, rate-limiting mechanisms can be added to further minimize the possibility of these attacks.

This web application firewall, built using Flask, protects against brute force attacks by limiting the number of failed login attempts from a specific IP address. The WAF monitors failed authentication requests and temporarily blocks an IP if the threshold is exceeded. The firewall also uses Python’s rate-limiting libraries to enforce these protections. This solution is especially useful for applications that handle sensitive data and require strict login security.
