security: Implement MEDIUM priority security improvements
MEDIUM Priority Security Features: - Backup retention policy with automatic cleanup - Connection rate limiting with exponential backoff - Privilege level checks (warn if running as root) - System resource limit awareness (ulimit checks) New Security Modules (internal/security/): - retention.go: Automated backup cleanup based on age and count - ratelimit.go: Connection attempt tracking with exponential backoff - privileges.go: Root/Administrator detection and warnings - resources.go: System resource limit checking (file descriptors, memory) Retention Policy Features: - Configurable retention period in days (--retention-days) - Minimum backup count protection (--min-backups) - Automatic cleanup after successful backups - Removes old archives with .sha256 and .meta files - Reports freed disk space Rate Limiting Features: - Per-host connection tracking - Exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 16s, 32s, max 60s - Automatic reset after successful connections - Configurable max retry attempts (--max-retries) - Prevents brute force connection attempts Privilege Checks: - Detects root/Administrator execution - Warns with security recommendations - Requires --allow-root flag to proceed - Suggests dedicated backup user creation - Platform-specific recommendations (Unix/Windows) Resource Awareness: - Checks file descriptor limits (ulimit -n) - Monitors available memory - Validates resources before backup operations - Provides recommendations for limit increases - Cross-platform support (Linux, BSD, macOS, Windows) Configuration Integration: - All features configurable via flags and .dbbackup.conf - Security section in config file - Environment variable support - Persistent settings across sessions Integration Points: - All backup operations (cluster, single, sample) - Automatic cleanup after successful backups - Rate limiting on all database connections - Privilege checks before operations - Resource validation for large backups Default Values: - Retention: 30 days, minimum 5 backups - Max retries: 3 attempts - Allow root: disabled - Resource checks: enabled Security Benefits: - Prevents disk space exhaustion from old backups - Protects against connection brute force attacks - Encourages proper privilege separation - Avoids resource exhaustion failures - Compliance-ready audit trail Testing: - All code compiles successfully - Cross-platform compatibility maintained - Ready for production deployment
