[Guide] How to secure Firebase Real Time Database from hacker!

:pray:
Hello guys Avijit Das here, And today I am showing
how you can secure your :fire: Firebase Real Time Database from hackers.
So let’s start


Rule No 1 :

Basic rules - Everyone can read and write your full database.

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "true",
    ".write": "true"
  }
}


Rule No 2 :

Basic rules - No one will be able to read and write your database.

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "false",
    ".write": "false"
  }
}


Rule No 3 :

Basic rules - Any authenticated user can read and write your full database.

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "auth.uid != null",
    ".write": "auth.uid != null"
  }
}


Rule No 4 :

Strong rules - Only user and admin can read and write user/{user_id}/password_activity/ Tag.

Rules :

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "false",
    ".write": "false",
      
      "user": {
    
    "$uid": {
      
      "password_activity":{
              ".read": "$uid === auth.uid
                       || auth.token.email.endsWith(\"@admin.example.com\")",
                                                     
               ".write": "$uid === auth.uid
                         || auth.token.email.endsWith(\"@admin.example.com\")",
       },
      }
    }
  }
}

Note : admin account email must be end with @admin.example.com
Example : [email protected]


Rule No 5 :

Strong rules - Any authenticated user can read user/{user_id}/password_activity/ but only user can write his password activity.

Rules :

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "false",
    ".write": "false",
      
      "user": {
    
    "$uid": {
      
      "password_activity":{
              ".read": "auth.uid != null",
                                                     
               ".write": "$uid === auth.uid",
       },
      }
    }
  }
}


Rule No 6 :

For example user2 need to create a data in user/user1/friends/ tag.

Example :

Rules :

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "false",
    ".write": "false",
      
      "user": {
    
    "$uid": {
      
      "friends" : {
        
        "$friend_uid": {
          
          ".read": "auth.uid != null",
            
          ".write": "$friend_uid === auth.uid",
          
        },
        
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Note : Any authenticated user can read user/user1/friends/ tag but only user2 can create his data in user/user1/friends/ tag.
