worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

69
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|

+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or

|
|
112
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
113
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
114
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and

128
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|

129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,

131

|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed

+

|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

140
|
+
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
141
|
+
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or

|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each

|
|
146

|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions

|
148

|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the

|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
|
|
166
|
+
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
|
|
167
|
+
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
|
|
168
|
+
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
|
|
169
|
+
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
|
|
170
|
+
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
|
|
171
|
+
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
|
|
172
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
173
|
+
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
|
174
|
+
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

**Face-Unlock** is a PAM-based facial authentication system for Linux. It hooks into the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) stack to provide face recognition everywhere — `sudo`, GDM login, polkit, TTY login, and any other PAM-aware service. No cloud, no proprietary APIs, no daemons. Just your webcam, dlib, and a few OpenCV frames.

## Features
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
- **PAM Integration** — plugs into any PAM service: `sudo`, `gdm-password`, `polkit-1`, `login`, and more
|
|
47
|
+
- **Liveness Detection** — blink-based liveness via Eye Aspect Ratio (EAR) using dlib's facial landmarks
|
|
48
|
+
- **HOG + CNN Detectors** — choose between fast HOG or more accurate CNN-based face detection
|
|
49
|
+
- **Rate Limiting & Lockout** — file-based per-user rate limiting with configurable thresholds

- **Secure Encoding Storage** — face encodings stored as numpy arrays with HMAC-SHA256 integrity signatures (no pickle, fixing CWE-502)
|
|
51
|
+
- **Notification + Choice Dialogs** — on failed auth, a desktop notification appears with a "Try Face Again" / "Use Password" dialog
|
|
52
|
+
- **Headless Mode** — works on servers and SSH sessions where no display is available
|
|
53
|
+
- **Automatic Session Detection** — detects user displays, Wayland/X11 sessions, and greeter processes (GDM, LightDM, SDDM, etc.)
|
|
54
|
+
- **Audit Logging** — all auth events logged to syslog with `LOG_AUTH` facility
|
|
55
|
+
- **Configurable** — all parameters adjustable via `/etc/face-unlock/config.ini`

|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
### Prerequisites
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
- **Linux** (Debian/Ubuntu-based recommended)
|
|
64
|
+
- **Python 3.8+**
|
|
65
|
+
- A webcam
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
### Installation
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
```bash
|
|
70
|
+
git clone https://github.com/mohit31kumar/face-unlock.git
|
|
71
|
+
cd face-unlock
|
|
72
|
+
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
73
|
+
```
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
The installer will:
|
|
76
|
+
1. Install system dependencies (cmake, dlib, OpenCV, zenity, libnotify)
|
|
77
|
+
2. Install Python packages
|
|
78
|
+
3. Copy library files to `/usr/local/lib/face-unlock/`
|
|
79
|
+
4. Create wrapper scripts in `/usr/local/bin/`
|
|
80
|
+
5. Generate a default config at `/etc/face-unlock/config.ini`
|
|
81
|
+
6. Generate a secret HMAC key at `/etc/face-unlock/secret.key`
|
|
82
|
+
7. Patch PAM configuration for `gdm-password`, `sudo`, `polkit-1`, `login`, and `common-auth`
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
### Enroll a User
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
```bash
|
|
87
|
+
sudo face-unlock-enroll <your-username>
|
|
88
|
+
```
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
Follow the on-screen instructions — look at the camera while it captures 5 face samples.
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
### Test
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94

|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
# Test recognition against an enrolled user
|
|
99
|
+
sudo face-unlock-test --user <your-username>
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
# Test liveness (blink) detection
|
|
102
|
+
sudo face-unlock-test --liveness
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104

### Try It
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
```bash
|
|
111
|
+
# This should trigger face auth via PAM
|
|
112
|
+
sudo -i
|
|
113
|
+
```
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
### Toggle Authentication
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
```bash
|
|
118
|
+
# Enable face-unlock in all PAM files
|
|
119
|
+
sudo face-unlock enable
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
# Disable face-unlock from all PAM files
|
|
122
|
+
sudo face-unlock disable
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
# Set face as the default (tried first, password fallback)
|
|
125
|
+
sudo face-unlock default on
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
# Set password as the default (tried first, face fallback)
|
|
128
|
+
sudo face-unlock default off
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130

### Architecture
|
|
263
|

|
|
264
|
+
| Module | Role |
|
|
265
|
+
|--------|------|
|
|
266
|
+
| `authenticate.py` | PAM auth entry point, orchestrates the full flow |
|
|
267
|
+
| `face_engine.py` | Face detection (HOG/CNN), 128-d encoding, EAR computation |
|
|
268
|
+
| `camera.py` | OpenCV video capture, headless-safe GUI wrappers |
|
|
269
|
+
| `storage.py` | HMAC-signed numpy encoding storage, username validation |
|
|
270
|
+
| `config.py` | INI config reader with typed getters and syslog fallback |
|
|
271
|
+
| `session.py` | DISPLAY/WAYLAND session detection via `/proc` scanning |
|
|
272
|
+
| `dialog.py` | Desktop notification + zenity choice dialog |
|
|
273
|
+
| `enroll.py` | Interactive enrollment with GUI and headless modes |
|
|
274
|
+
| `test.py` | Diagnostics for camera, recognition, liveness, dialog |
|
|
275
|
+
| `pam.py` | PAM file manipulation (enable/disable/toggle auth order) |
|
|
276
|
+
| `cli.py` | Management CLI (`enroll`, `list`, `remove`, `test`, `config`, `enable`, `disable`, `default`, `status`) |

## Security
|
|
281
|
+
|
|
282
|
+
- **No pickle deserialization** — legacy `.pkl` files are rejected; encodings use `numpy.save`/`numpy.load` only (CWE-502)
|
|
283
|
+
- **HMAC-SHA256 integrity signing** — each encoding file has a `.sig` sidecar verified before loading; key stored at `/etc/face-unlock/secret.key` (chmod 600)
|
|
284
|
+
- **Username validation** — alphanumeric + `._-`, max 32 chars, preventing path traversal
|
|
285
|
+
- **Rate limiting** — per-user file-based throttle with `fcntl` file locking to prevent race conditions; lockout directory and files created with restrictive permissions (0o700/0o600)
|
|
286
|
+
- **Fail-closed errors** — rate limit file corruption results in denial, not bypass
|
|
287
|
+
- **No network** — all processing is local; no data leaves your machine
|
|
288
|
+
- **Minimal attack surface** — no daemons, no DBus services, no network sockets
|
|

The uninstaller will:
|
|
335
|
+
- Remove wrapper scripts and library files
|
|
336
|
+
- Optionally remove configuration and encodings
|
|
337
|
+
- Restore PAM files from backup (or remove face-unlock lines)
