Over the next few weeks I am going to be writing a series on Brute Force Attack Prevention Mistakes. When developing a website that contains sensitive user information, it is absolutely vital that you implement brute force attack prevention to mitigate the risk of a brute force attack on your user’s credentials. Developing brute force attack prevention for your public website may seem like an easy task, however it is very easy to make a development mistake that will drastically decrease the level of protection. In this series I hope to reveal some of these common mistakes. Lets kick this series off with some reading material for those of you that are not familiar with brute force attacks and other relative information.
