clawbot 7f472c40e2 Rule files, and bans for a clear sign of attack (closes #24)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
Details 
Every *.rules file in SWWAF_RULES_DIR is read at start and on each
change, and each request is checked against the rules after the rate
limits: log notes a match, block refuses with 403, ban refuses and bans
the netblock for SWWAF_ATTACK_BAN_DURATION, made permanent by its next
request or clear sign of attack. path, query and uri are matched as the
request line sent them. bans.json gains each ban's cause, and ban notes
count earlier bans by cause. The image ships 00-default.rules.

Judgement call: a header sent twice is matched with its values joined
by ", ".
Judgement call: SWWAF_MAX_BAN_DURATION does not cap a ban for an attack.
Not in this unit: offences for rule matches, with the error burst.

Model: opus-5-5

matches is noted in the log line; a `block` rule refuses the request with

A field that does not apply to a request is left out of its line, apart from
`type`, the fields from `time` to `user_agent`, `request_id`, `peer_ip`,
`client_group`, `country`, `action` and `duration_total`, which every line has.
- `time` is when the request arrived, in UTC. `instance` is
`SWWAF_INSTANCE_NAME`. `scheme` is the `X-Forwarded-Proto` a trusted proxy
sent, and otherwise `http`. `path` and `query` are as the client sent them.
- `request_id` is the `X-Request-ID` a trusted proxy sent, or a new random one
of 26 letters and digits when it sent none, or when the peer is not a trusted
proxy. A request passed to the app takes it there in `X-Request-ID`.
- `peer_ip` is the TCP peer, normally traefik. `forwarded_for` is the
`X-Forwarded-For` header as received, several lines of it joined with `, `.
`client_group` is the client as the rate limits count it: its IPv4 address as
a /32, or the /64 of its IPv6 address.
- `time` is when the request arrived, in UTC. `peer_ip` is the TCP peer,
normally traefik. `path` and `query` are as the client sent them.
- `country` is the client's country as GeoJS places it. It is empty with neither
country list set, for a client in `SWWAF_ALLOW_NETS` or `SWWAF_DENY_NETS`, for
a client on a private, loopback or link-local address, when GeoJS cannot place
the client or has not answered in time, and for a request whose client a ban
covers, even when the client's country is known.
- `content_type` is the request's `Content-Type`, and `content_length` the
length the request announced for its body, which is left out for none or zero.
- `request_headers` are the request's headers that `SWWAF_LOG_REQUEST_HEADERS`
names, by name in lower case, several lines of one joined with `, `.
`Authorization`, `Cookie` and `Set-Cookie` are never among them, whatever the
setting says: `has_authorization` and `has_cookie` are there instead, and
true, when the request has an `Authorization` or a `Cookie` header.
- `websocket` is there, and true, when the app switched the connection to
another protocol, as it does for a WebSocket.
- `status` is what the client was sent, `0` if nothing was; `upstream_status` is
what the app answered, and is left out when the app did not answer.
- `response_content_type`, `cache_control` and `location` are the
`Content-Type`, `Cache-Control` and `Location` headers of the answer: the
app's, as passed on, or those of `smallwebwaf`'s own answer.
- `request_bytes` and `response_bytes` count body bytes.
- `action` is `forward` for a request passed to the app, `denied` for one
refused because its client is in `SWWAF_DENY_NETS`, `banned` for one refused
because a ban covers its client, `country_denied` for one refused for its
client's country, `rate_limited` for one that broke a rate limit and banned
its client, `too_large` for a request or response over its size limit,
`timed_out` for one that ran out of time, `upstream_error` when the app could
not be reached or its answer broke off, and `admin` for one `smallwebwaf`

`SWWAF_DENY_NETS`, a ban, the country lists or a rate limit would have refused

`banned`, `country_denied` or `rate_limited`. `action` then names what was
done: `forward` for a request passed to the app, and another action, such as
`too_large`, for one a size or time limit refused.
- `counts` gives the client's requests in the minute, the hour and the day as
the rate limits count them, this request included: in each window, those in
the bucket under way and a share of those in the bucket before, so a count can
have a fraction. For a request that broke a limit, they are the counts that
broke it. It is left out for a request the rate limits do not count: the
health check, one from a client in `SWWAF_ALLOW_NETS` or

`SWWAF_RATE_LIMIT_EXEMPT_PATHS` exempts, and one that `SWWAF_DENY_NETS`, a ban
or the country lists refuse, or would refuse in `observe` mode. The byte
totals come with the byte limits.
`SWWAF_DENY_NETS`, a ban, the country lists, a rate limit or a rule would have

`action` then names what was done: `forward` for a request passed to the app,
and another action, such as `too_large`, for one a size or time limit refused.

lists their ids in the order they matched, up to the one that refused it.

## Rule files
`smallwebwaf` reads every `*.rules` file in `SWWAF_RULES_DIR`,
`/etc/smallwebwaf/rules.d` by default, in the order of their names, and checks
each request against their rules in that order, as "Rule files" in
[`SPEC.md`](SPEC.md) describes. A rule is a line of four fields separated by
spaces or tabs: an id, a target, an action and a regex, which runs to the end of
the line. Blank lines and lines that start with `#` are ignored.
```
# id target action regex
env-file path ban (?i)^/\.env(\.[a-z]+)?$
scanner-agent user_agent ban (?i)\b(sqlmap|nikto|nuclei|wpscan)\b
```
- The id is letters, digits, `-` and `_`, and no two rules share one. The
request log, the metrics and a ban's notes name the rule by it.
- The target is what the regex is matched against: `path` or `query`, as the
client sent it, before any decoding; `uri`, the path and the query together,
both as sent and once percent-decoded, so that an encoded probe does not slip
past; `method`; `host`; `user_agent`; `referer`; or `header:<Name>`, any one
request header. A header sent more than once is matched with its values joined
by `, `, and one not sent as empty text. No body is read.
- The action is `log`, `block` or `ban` (see "What it does so far" above). Keep
`ban` for requests no real visitor sends, and anchor a path at the site root
with `^/`: a file of the same name deeper in a site can be ordinary content,
such as a file in a repository on a code forge.
- The regex is in Go's syntax, RE2, which has no backreferences or lookaround,
and takes time linear in the text it reads. It matches anywhere in the target
unless anchored with `^` and `$`; `(?i)` at its front makes it ignore case.
A line that is not a rule, a regex that does not compile or an id used twice
stops the start with a message naming the file and the line, and so does a
`SWWAF_RULES_DIR` that does not exist. An empty directory is no error, and the
log says that it holds no rules. While it runs, `smallwebwaf` watches the
directory, and reads the rule files again whenever one is edited, added or
removed. If they then hold one of those errors, the rules stay as they were, the
earlier version of the edited file included, the log names the file and the
line, and the files are read again at the next change.
The image ships one rule file, `share/rules.d/00-default.rules` here: rules that
ban probes no real visitor sends, for secrets, version control directories,
backups, logs and web shells at the site root, and the user agents of common
scanners; one that blocks `../` twice in a row in the path or the query; and one
that only notes a request without a user agent. An app's Dockerfile adds rules
of its own in a file beside it, named to sort after it, such as this
`50-gitea.rules` for an app that serves no WordPress:
```
wp-probe path ban (?i)^/(wp-login\.php|xmlrpc\.php|wp-admin/)
```
```dockerfile
COPY 50-gitea.rules /etc/smallwebwaf/rules.d/50-gitea.rules
```
A directory mounted over `/etc/smallwebwaf/rules.d` replaces the default file,
and single files mounted into it add to it. Docker does not show a single
mounted file being replaced, which is how many editors save, so rules to be
edited while `smallwebwaf` runs belong in a mounted directory, with a copy of
`00-default.rules` if its rules are to stay. To run without rules, mount an
empty directory or set `SWWAF_RULES_ENABLED=false`.
