## ✨ What's Included in Phase 2
|
||||
|
||||
### 🔐 Four Security Features Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
**1. CSRF Token Protection**
|
||||
- Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks
|
||||
- Applied to 9 forms and 10 processors
|
||||
- File: `src/Middleware/CsrfMiddleware.php`
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Rate Limiting**
|
||||
- Blocks brute force login attempts (5 per 15 minutes)
|
||||
- Blocks password reset abuse (3 per 30 minutes)
|
||||
- File: `src/Middleware/RateLimitMiddleware.php`
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Session Regeneration**
|
||||
- Prevents session fixation attacks
|
||||
- Integrated with existing login flow
|
||||
- File: Phase 1 `AuthenticationService` (enhanced)
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Audit Logging**
|
||||
- Complete login audit trail
|
||||
- Captures email, IP, timestamp, failure reason
|
||||
- File: `src/Services/AuditLogger.php`
|
||||
- Database: `migrations/001_create_audit_logs_table.sql`

## 🎯 Expected Deployment Time
|
||||
|
||||
| Phase | Duration | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|----------|-------|
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
If something goes wrong, you can easily rollback:
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 1: Drop Audit Logs Table (Recommended)**
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
DROP TABLE audit_logs;
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Removes audit logging only
|
||||
- Site continues working normally
|
||||
- Takes 1 minute
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 2: Revert Code Only**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git revert <commit-hash>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Code reverts to before Phase 2
|
||||
- Database stays updated
|
||||
- Takes 5 minutes
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 3: Full Rollback**
|
||||
- Restore database from backup
|
||||
- Revert code to previous commit
|
||||
- Takes 10-15 minutes
|

## 📞 Getting Help
|
||||
|
||||
### Most Common Questions
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Will this break existing functionality?**
|
||||
A: No. Phase 2 is 100% backward compatible.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: What if rate limiting blocks legitimate users?**
|
||||
A: The block automatically resets after the time window (15-30 minutes).
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: How much storage will audit logging use?**
|
||||
A: About 100-200 MB per year. Negligible.
|
||||
|
||||
**Q: Can I adjust rate limiting thresholds?**
|
||||
A: Yes, see PHASE2_COMPLETE.md for configuration.
