From 80af38d37b21dc6e5edbf27bd22310db42a6f923 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Heiser Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 16:00:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [mod] increase SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW from one day to 30 days In my tests I see bots rotating IPs (with endless IP lists). If such a bot has 100 IPs and has three attempts (SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX = 3) then it can successfully send up to 300 requests in one day while rotating the IP. To block the bots for a longer period of time the SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW, as the time period in which an IP is observed, must be increased. For normal WEB-browsers this is no problem, because the SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW is deleted as soon as the CSS with the token is loaded. SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW = 3600 * 24 * 30 Time (sec) before sliding window for one suspicious IP expires. SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX = 3 Maximum requests from one suspicious IP in the :py:obj:`SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW`."""
