A ban's notes, in bans.json and in its alert, gain `reputation`: each
blocklist, DNSBL zone or AbuseIPDB that listed the client when the ban
was made, as its `source`, named and ordered as in the request log's
`reputation`, with AbuseIPDB's `score`. It is left out when none did.
README.md shows it in a bans.json example.
Notes now hold a list, so bans can no longer be compared with ==: the
tests compare them with reflect.DeepEqual.
Judgement call: the score is a pointer, so a score of 0, a hit while
SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_MIN_SCORE is 0, is still written.
Model: opus-5-5
The IPv6 group that is one client, the size of the table of clients and
the level of the process's own lines become settings. clientGroup reads
the group length from them, so limits, bans, history, lookups, AbuseIPDB
scores and per-client anomaly counters all follow it; ratelimit.New
takes the table size; the process logger takes the level once the
settings are read, and request lines, written apart from it, are never
held back.
Judgement call: SWWAF_IPV6_GROUP_PREFIX accepts 32 to 128, the issue's example range.
Model: opus-5-5
With SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_KEY set, a client whose history counts an offence
(a broken limit, a ban rule's match or a block rule's refusal, counted
by kind) is checked in the background, at most
SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_DAILY_BUDGET checks a day, the count kept in
reputation.json. A client, an IPv4 address or an IPv6 /64, is checked by
the address it sent from, and its score serves all its addresses. A
score at or over SWWAF_ABUSEIPDB_MIN_SCORE is a hit for
SWWAF_REPUTATION_ACTION, logged as abuseipdb and alerted with its score.
A failure or the used-up budget gives no score and raises
source_failure. The key goes only in the Key header.
Judgement call: the budget's day is UTC; AbuseIPDB documents no reset time.
Judgement call: each check sent spends budget; a minute's pause after a failure.
Model: opus-5-5
Zones in SWWAF_DNSBL_ZONES are asked about each client in the background,
through SWWAF_DNSBL_RESOLVER or the host's resolver; no request waits.
Verdicts last SWWAF_REPUTATION_CACHE_TTL, kept in reputation.json.
SWWAF_REPUTATION_ACTION (limit:25) denies, limits or logs a listed
client; each zone listing it raises reputation_hit. A failed query gives
no verdict, raises source_failure, and pauses the zone a minute. A
zone's key, its first label under dq.spamhaus.net, is masked everywhere
but reputation.json. Zones compare without regard to case.
Judgement call: answers in 127.255.255.0/24 or outside 127.0.0.0/8 are failures.
Judgement call: the minute's pause after a failure; at most 1,000 queries at once.
Judgement call: one zone given with two keys stops the start as listed twice.
Rule suppressed: paralleltest on the DNSBL tests (Go's resolver shares state across synctest bubbles), funlen on the test of every logged setting.
Model: opus-5-5
SWWAF_BLOCKLIST_URLS names lists of addresses and netblocks, fetched every
SWWAF_BLOCKLIST_REFRESH (24h, never under 1h); an IPv4-mapped line stands
for its IPv4 address or netblock. reputation.json keeps each list's last
try, failed or not, even one cut off by a stop, which a restart waits on
as a running instance does, and its last good copy, whole, used while a
fetch fails. SWWAF_BLOCKLIST_ACTION denies, limits or only logs a listed
client; the log line names the lists, each raises reputation_hit, and a
failed fetch raises source_failure. SWWAF_ASN_LIMIT_PERCENT_URL is fetched
the same way and counts as SWWAF_ASN_LIMIT_PERCENT does, the lower winning.
Judgement call: a failed fetch is retried after the refresh, not sooner.
Not done: ban notes do not name the lists yet.
