Getting Started

In order to get started, please install pip.

Prerequisites

• pip

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Installation

• Install pip packages

pip3 install sanic-security

Usage

Once Sanic Security is configured and good to go, implementing is easy as pie.

Initial Setup

Familiarity with Sanic and Tortoise ORM is recommended.

First you have to create a configuration file called auth.ini in the project directory. Make sure Python's working directory is the project directory. Below is an example of its contents:

WARNING: You must set a custom secret, or you will compromise your encoded sessions.

[AUTH]
name=ExampleProject
secret=05jF8cSMAdjlXcXeS2ZJUHg7Tbyu
captcha_font=source-sans-pro.light.ttf

[TORTOISE]
username=admin
password=8UVbijLUGYfUtItAi
endpoint=website.cweAenuBY6b.us-north-1.rds.amazonaws.com
schema=webschema
models=sanic_security.core.models
engine=mysql
generate=true

[TWILIO]
from=12058469963
token=1bcioi878ygO8fi766Fb34750e82a5ab
sid=AC6156Jg67OOYe75c26dgtoTICifIe51cbf

[SMTP]
host=smtp.gmail.com
port=465
from=[e-mail]
username=[e-mail]
password=wfrfouwiurhwlnj
tls=true
start_tls=false

[IP2PROXY]
key=iohuyg87UGYOFijoTYG8HOuhuZJsdXwjqbhuyghuiBUYG8yvo6J
code=PX1LITEBIN
bin=IP2PROXY-LITE-PX1.BIN

You may remove each section in the configuration you aren't using. For example, if you're not utilizing Twillio you can delete the TWILLIO section.

Once you've configured Sanic Security, you can initialize Sanic with the example below:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    initialize_security(app)
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8000, debug=True)

All request bodies must be sent as form-data. For my below examples, I use my own custom json method:

from sanic.response import json as sanic_json
def json(message, content, status_code=200):
    payload = {
        'message': message,
        'status_code': status_code,
        'content': content
    }
    return sanic_json(payload, status=status_code)

Authentication

• Registration (With all verification requirements)

Phone can be null or empty. A captcha request must be made.

Key	Value
username	test
email	[e-mail]
phone	19811354186
password	testpass
captcha	Aj8HgD

@app.post('api/register')
@requires_captcha()
async def on_register(request, captcha_session):
    verification_session = await register(request)
    await verification_session.text_code() # Text verification code.
    await verification_session.email_code() # Or email verification code.
    response = json('Registration successful', verification_session.account.json())
    verification_session.encode(response)
    return response

Recommended Font

Captcha challenge example:

• Request Captcha

@app.get('api/captcha')
async def on_request_captcha(request):
    captcha_session = await request_captcha(request)
    response = json('Captcha request successful!', captcha_session.json())
    captcha_session.encode(response)
    return response

    return response

Verification

• Request Verification (Creates and encodes a new verification code, useful for when a verification session may be invalid or expired.)

@app.get('api/verification/request')
async def on_request_verification(request):
    verification_session = await request_verification(request)
    await verification_session.text_code() # Text verification code.
    await verification_session.email_code() # Or email verification code.
    response = json('Verification request successful', verification_session.json())
    verification_session.encode(response)
    return response

• Resend Verification (Does not create new verification code, only resends current session code.)

@app.post('api/verification/resend')
async def on_resend_verification(request):
    verification_session = await VerificationSession().decode(request)
    await verification_session.text_code() # Text verification code.
    await verification_session.email_code() # Or email verification code.
    return json('Verification code resend successful', verification_session.json())

• Requires Verification

Key	Value
code	G8ha9nVa

@app.get('api/client/verify')
@requires_verification()
async def on_verified(request, verification_session):
    return json('Hello ' + verification_session.account.username + '! You have verified yourself and may continue. ', 
                authentication_session.account.json())

• Verify Account

Key	Value
code	G8ha9nVae

@app.post('api/verification/account')
@requires_verification()
async def on_verify(request, verification_session):
    await verify_account(verification_session)
    return json('Verification successful!', verification_session.json())

Authorization

Sanic Security comes with two protocols for authorization: role based and wildcard based permissions.

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a policy-neutral access-control mechanism defined around roles and privileges. The components of RBAC such as role-permissions, user-role and role-role relationships make it simple to perform user assignments.

Wildcard permissions support the concept of multiple levels or parts. For example, you could grant a user the permission printer:query. The colon in this example is a special character used to delimit the next part in the permission string. In this example, the first part is the domain that is being operated on (printer), and the second part is the action (query) being performed. This concept was inspired by Apache Shiro's implementation of wildcard based permissions.

Examples of wildcard permissions are:

admin:add,update,delete
admin:add
admin:*
employee:add,delete
employee:delete
employee:*

• Require Permissions

@app.post('api/account/update')
@require_permissions('admin:update', 'employee:add')
async def on_require_perms(request, authentication_session):
    return text('Admin successfully updated account!')

• Require Roles

@app.get('api/dashboard/admin')
@require_roles('Admin', 'Moderator')
async def on_require_roles(request, authentication_session):
    return text('Admin gained access!')

IP2Proxy

IP2Location

IP2Location LITE

IP2Proxy Proxy Detection Database contains IP addresses which are used as VPN anonymizer, open proxies, web proxies and Tor exits, data center, web hosting (DCH) range, search engine robots (SES) and residential proxies (RES).

Anonymous proxy servers are intermediate servers meant to hide the real identity or IP address of the requestor. Studies found that a large number of anonymous proxy users are generally responsible for online credit card fraud, forums and blogs spamming.

IP2Proxy database is based on a proprietary detection algorithm in parallel with evaluation of anonymous open proxy servers which are actively in use. Then it generates an up-to-date list of anonymous proxy IP address in the download area every 24 hours.

DISCLAIMER: There is no real good “out-of-the-box” solution against fake IP addresses, aka “IP Address Spoofing”. Do not rely on IP2Proxy to provide 100% protection against malicious actors utilizing proxies/vpns.

WARNING: Utilizing IP2Proxy may cause first time initialization to take up to thirty seconds or more.

• Detect Proxy

@app.get('api/client/proxy')
@detect_proxy()
@requires_authentication()
async def on_detect_proxy(request, authentication_session):
    return json('Hello ' + authentication_session.account.username + '! You are not using a proxy! ', 
                authentication_session.account.json())

Error Handling

@app.exception(SecurityError)
async def on_error(request, exception):
    return json('An error has occurred!', {
        'error': type(exception).__name__,
        'summary': str(exception)
    }, status_code=exception.status_code)

Middleware

@app.middleware('response')
async def xxs_middleware(request, response):
    xss_prevention_middleware(request, response)


@app.middleware('request')
async def https_middleware(request):
    return https_redirect_middleware(request)


@app.middleware('request')
async def ip2proxy_middleware(request):
    await proxy_detection_middleware(request)
