This project demonstrates how to implement an IP ban list in a web server using the Gin-Gonic framework in Go and using Snyk for Security checks. It includes middleware to check if an IP is banned and an endpoint to ban the IP, simulating a failed login attempt.

• Middleware to check if an IP is banned
• Endpoint to ban an IP
• Configurable ban duration

• Go 1.16 or later
• Gin-Gonic framework

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ip-ban-list.git
   cd ip-ban-list

2. Install the necessary dependencies:

   go mod tidy

1. Run the server:

   go run main.go

2. The server will start on http://localhost:8080.

3. To test the banning functionality, access the /banit endpoint from your browser or use curl:

   curl http://localhost:8080/banit

   This will ban your IP for the specified duration (default is 10 minutes).

4. If you try to access the /banit endpoint again during the ban period, you will receive a 403 Forbidden response.

This project is to show example of GIN rate-limiting with Snyk integration.
