Laravel-Security

This project aims to present the main security implementations in an application using Laravel 8.

This project has the following security implementations:

• Auth - Register, Login, Logout;, email confirmation, email validation, password recovery;
• Access control matrix - with dynamic roles and permissions;
• Authorization;
• Force create strong passwords;
• Force users to reset password periodically (30 days by default)
• Logs - to monitor user access to the application
• Frontend validation - with javascript;
• Backend validation;
• DDOS protection;
• XSS Protection.

And in the future other implementations will be made.

This project was inspired by the following projects:

• https://github.com/wmomesso/laravel_acl
• https://github.com/codeanddeploy/laravel8-authentication-example.git
• And this tutorial: https://laraveldaily.com/password-expired-force-change-password-every-30-days/

       $this->registerPolicies();
       $permissions = Permission::all();
       foreach ($permissions as $permission) {
           Gate::define($permission->name,
               function (User $user) use ($permission) {
                   return $user->hasPermission($permission);
               }
           );
       }
       */
   }
