This is a sample app that extends some of what restful_authentication provides in order to lockout user accounts and prevent brute force password guessing.

I wrote about it on my blog at http://danengle.us/2009/03/adding-some-additional-security-measures-to-restful_authentication/

It still needs a couple more features to polish it off like...
- Ban users by IP after multiple account lockouts
- Allow users to reset password if they lock themselves out
- Integrate into restful_authentication so you can pass a --lockout option and have this code generated automatically

About
