Configuration

You can adjust the setting when initializing Shieldon instance, or using setProperty or setProperties API later.

Initializing

$config = [
    'time_unit_quota' => [
        ['s' => 2, 'm' => 10, 'h' => 30, 'd' => 60]
    ]
];

$shieldon = new \Shieldon\Shieldon($config);

setProperty

$shieldon->setProperty('time_unit_quota', [
    's' => 2, 'm' => 10, 'h' => 30, 'd' => 60
]);

setProperties

$config = [
    'time_unit_quota' => [
        ['s' => 2, 'm' => 10, 'h' => 30, 'd' => 60]
    ]
];

$shieldon->setProperties($config);

Tips

• If you just want to limit an user to view 100 pages a day, just set s, m, h to a very high number, and set d to 100.

• To remember, when users reached the limit will just be banned temporaily, they can get unbanned by solving Captcha, so, do not set the values too loose, overwise it is no sense to use this library.

time_reset_limit

Reset the filiters flagged number after how many seconds that time_reset_limit is set.

interval_check_referer

When an user first time visit to your website by entering URL on browser, the HTTP_REFERER is empty. After interval_check_referer seconds, Shieldon will start checking HTTP_REFERER.

You can ignore this value.

interval_check_session

When an user first time visit to your website, after interval_check_session seconds, Shieldon will start checking SESSION cookie.

limit_unusual_behavior
