Note Submitter: cyril dot garsaud at gmail dot com ---- @Barlow: Nope, the attacker could still send a big ammount of POST requests and one of them may work. What we need to do is slow down his session until he succeeds. <?php session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['failed'])) sleep(2); public function handle_login() { if($uid = user::check_password($_REQUEST['email'], $_REQUEST['password'])) { session_destroy(); return self::authenticate_user($uid); } else { $_SESSION['failed'] = 1; return self::login_failed(); } } ?>
