Use Rate Limiting

To prevent brute-force attacks and other types of abuse, you can implement rate limiting in your Laravel application. Laravel includes rate limiting middleware that you can use to limit the number of requests per IP address or per user.

To enable rate limiting, add the throttle middleware to your routes:

Route::middleware('throttle:60,1')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/profile', function () {
        // ...
    });
});

In this example, the throttle middleware limits requests to 60 per minute per IP address.

You can also customize the rate limiting settings by adding a throttle key to your app/Http/Kernel.php file:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
];

// ...

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        // ...
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class.':60,1',
    ],
];

In this example, the throttle middleware limits requests to 60 per minute per IP address for all routes in the web middleware group.
