SWWAF_CROWDSEC_LAPI_URL and SWWAF_CROWDSEC_LAPI_KEY name an engine whose
decision list, <url>/v1/decisions, is fetched every minute with the key in
X-Api-Key and kept as a blocklist is: used while a fetch fails, and across
restarts through reputation.json. Ban decisions on an Ip or a Range end at
the fetch time plus their duration. A listed client's request is refused and
bans its netblock with the cause crowdsec until the decision ends; bans.json,
ban notes and metrics take the cause.
Judgement call: fetched every minute, not a setting.
Judgement call: a crowdsec ban never lengthens a limit ban.
Judgement call: a lifted crowdsec ban is remade while its decision lasts.
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.
