Python 3.7.5 : Django security issues - part 003.

Let's update this subject today with another new tutorial.
In the last tutorial about Django security I wrote about python package named django-axes.
First, let's fix an old issue about a URL pattern that matches anything and expects an integer that generates errors like:

...
  File "/home/mythcat/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py", line 1772, 
in get_prep_value
    ) from e
ValueError: Field 'id' expected a number but got 'favicon.ico'.
[22/Jan/2020 21:50:06] "GET /favicon.ico/ HTTP/1.1" 500 130547

Now, let's start my project:

[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd projects/
[mythcat@desk projects]$ cd django/
[mythcat@desk django]$ source env/bin/activate

Create a new folder named static in the test001 folder and add a icon file named favicon.ico.

(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ cd mysite/test001/
(env) [mythcat@desk test001]$ mkdir static 

In the settings.py file you need to have this source code:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
]

Change in the urls.py this line of source code to fix the error:

path('<int:author_id>/',views.index_next, name = 'index_next'),

Let's run the Django project server with:

(env) [mythcat@desk django]$ cd mysite/
(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py runserver

I login into my admin area with user catalin and password adminadmin.
If you try to login with a bad password then the account is locked by django-axes python package.
Use this command to reset all lockouts and access records.

(env) [mythcat@desk mysite]$ python3 manage.py axes_reset
No attempts found.

Into admin area you can see the AXES area with Access attempts and Access logs.
Axes listens to the following signals from django.contrib.auth.signals to log access attempts.
In this case Axes lockout responses on failed user authentication attempts from login views.
The Access logs shows access log, see examples:

You can set the axes into settings.py file , see this link.
