--- summary: Throttle authentication attempts with optional tarpit ... Introduction ============ This module lets you put a per-IP limit on the number of failed authentication attempts. It features an optioanal [tarpit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_%28networking%29), i.e. waiting some time before returning an "authentication failed" response. Configuration ============= ``` {.lua} modules_enabled = { -- your other modules "limit_auth"; } limit_auth_period = 30 -- over 30 seconds limit_auth_max = 5 -- tolerate no more than 5 failed attempts -- Will only work with Prosody trunk: limit_auth_tarpit_delay = 10 -- delay answer this long ``` Compatibility ============= Requires 0.9 or later. The tarpit feature requires Prosody trunk.
