Keep track of failed login attempts in Django-powered sites.

Project description

Django Axes

Jazzband Build Status Coveralls

django-axes is a very simple way for you to keep track of failed login attempts, both for the Django admin and for the rest of your site. The name is sort of a geeky pun, since axes can be read interpreted as:

  • “access”, as in monitoring access attempts

  • “axes”, as in tools you can use hack (generally on wood). In this case, however, the “hacking” part of it can be taken a bit further: django-axes is intended to help you stop people from hacking (popular media definition) your website. Hilarious, right? That’s what I thought too!

For more information see the documentation at:

If you have questions or have trouble using the app please file a bug report at:

Instead of logging the notice that django.axes looks for a HTTP header set by a reverse proxy on each attempt, just log it one-time on first module import. Also use the configured logger (by default axes.watch_login) for the message to be more consistent in logging. [eht16]
