Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-19734: ----------------------------------------------- I think this is becoming quite a big issue which would most probably deserved its CEP. A lot of things going on here ... > Rate limiting per-node on failed log-in attempts > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-19734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19734 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: CQL/Syntax, Feature/Authorization > Reporter: Stefan Miklosovic > Assignee: Stefan Miklosovic > Priority: Normal > Fix For: 5.x > > > If there is a malicious attacker who is brute-forcing passwords / usernames, > we should just ban such user for some time. On the other hand, we should > enable logging in for genuine users who just happened to provide invalid > passwords for multiple times, we do not want to ban these completely. > A rate limit might be something like "5 times per a minute". > This should be based on IP address of a client to identify the attacker. If > we based this on invalid passwords only, an attacker might just change the > usernames to bypass that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
