clawbot 54779f08de Trap paths, and the error burst banning a client refused too often (closes #115)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
SWWAF_TRAP_PATHS: a request whose path, as a path rule sees it, is one
of them is a clear sign of attack, banned as a ban rule's match is; the
ban's notes give its trap_path. Checked after the rate limits, before the
rule files.

SWWAF_ERROR_BURST_THRESHOLD (default 30, or off): more refusals in a
minute after a block or ban rule or a trap path, or for a missing or
wrong token, ban the client as a broken limit does. Counted in
clients.json's minute_refusals; limit_hit error_burst, notes kind
refusals.

A token refusal is now the offence token_refused, and
smallwebwaf_offences_total counts every kind the history does.

Judgement call: the threshold is not lowered by a client's limit percentage.

clawbot a6634454cd Read SWWAF_IPV6_GROUP_PREFIX, SWWAF_MAX_TRACKED_CLIENTS and SWWAF_LOG_LEVEL (closes #112)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
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.

clawbot 5d6f6ffaf9 Admin endpoints for bans and clients on the single listener (closes #27)
check / check (push) Successful in 4m26s
SWWAF_ADMIN_TOKEN, or its _FILE form, opens GET and POST
/_smallwebwaf/bans, DELETE /_smallwebwaf/bans/<client> and GET
/_smallwebwaf/clients/<ip>. Unset, they answer 404; a missing or wrong
token gets 401, in observe mode too. They go through every check, as
the metrics do. POST takes a netblock, not IPv4-mapped and without a
zone, or a client's address, a duration or permanent, and a reason, and
makes an admin ban even while another lasts. DELETE lifts every active
ban covering the address, kept and marked lifted. Bans come back as
bans.json entries; a client as clients.json holds it, with its bans.

Judgement call: answers leave out bans.json's version field.
Judgement call: DELETE takes an address, not a netblock.
Rule suppressed: gosec G304 on a test reading bans.json.

clawbot 234c5eac60 Serve Prometheus metrics behind SWWAF_METRICS_TOKEN (closes #23)
check / check (push) Successful in 3m21s
GET /_smallwebwaf/metrics answers in the Prometheus text format for a
request carrying SWWAF_METRICS_TOKEN, 401 without it and 404 while it is
unset. Every request under /_smallwebwaf/ but the health check now goes
through the checks and is answered where it would be forwarded, 404 for
any path but the metrics, so none reaches the app. In the client's
history a 401 counts as refused, the metrics and the 404s as neither.
SWWAF_METRICS_TOP_N bounds the series by country, the rest counted as
other.

Deviation: go.mod and go.sum written by hand, as go runs only through
make.
Deviation: no metrics yet for state files read again after an edit or
edits set aside; that work is not merged.
