Django ban

django-misery Description

django-misery is a simple ban system for Django, that does nasty stuff to trolls wandering on your website.Users banned the classical way are encouraged to bypass the ban by creating another users or changing of IP address. A nastier and probably more effective way to do is to use what is known as slowban, and errorban. This Django middleware implement those.Pros:* lightweight, designed not to slow a single bit your website (from a non-miserable point of view, of course)* support both IPv4 and IPv6Cons:* does't currently support masks; yes, it can be handy against users having a botnet under control or in case of a user having a IPv6 range, but the current implementation favors speed over featuresInstallation & configurationTo install the app, you can use PIP: `pip install django-misery`; then add `django_misery` to your INSTALLED_APPS setting, and `django_misery.middleware.miserize` to you MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.The following settings can be personnalized:* `MISERY_SLOW_STRENGHT`: seconds that miserable users will have to wait _at least_ (maximum twice longer) (default: 6)* `MISERY_LOGOUT_PROBABILITY`: **percentage** of probability a user will be disconnected (default: 10)* `MISERY_403_PROBABILITY`: same for 403 (default: 10)* `MISERY_404_PROBABILITY`: I'm gonna let you guess for this one (default: 10)* `MISERY_WHITE_SCREEN_PROBABILITY`: same for a nice, 100% pure white (not a single subpixel in the viewport will be off, I promise) (default: 20)* `MISERY_ASP_ERROR_PROBABILITY`: a free bonus for the ASP lovers (and I'm sure they are plenty around here), the template renders just great. Oh and: to make it even more beautiful, it's in French (default: 20).By default, the miserable users have therefore approximately a 50-50 chance to see the real page.Product's homepage
