Advanced Traffic Statistics: Live Radar & WAF Security 1.7.6

Transform your forum statistics into a security fortress.Advanced Traffic Statistics is no longer just a "Who's Online" widget. It has evolved into a comprehensive Traffic Intelligence & Web Application Firewall (WAF) that tracks visits, categorizes bot traffic with surgical precision, and actively protects your server from resource-draining scrapers, hackers, and AI crawlers.

Supports XenForo, Bob’s Article Management System (AMS), and Quiz System PRO.

NEW IN v1.7.6: LIVE TRAFFIC RADAR & NATIVE WAFWhy just count bots when you can actively hunt them? We have introduced a real-time investigative command center to monitor and block threats instantly.

• Live Traffic Radar: A real-time panel showing the last 150 forum accesses. Inspect IP, Country, Identity, Target URI, Hit volume, and Heuristic Trust Score.
• 1-Click IP Ban (Native Integration): Spotted an attacker or a fake User-Agent? Ban their IP address permanently with a single click. This action is integrated directly into XenForo's native core firewall (XF:IpMatch), blocking threats at the root before the page even loads.
• Smart Bot Training: Use the tactical [GOOD], [AI], and [BAD] buttons in the Radar to classify unknown bots. The new heuristic algorithm automatically extracts the clean "signature" of the bot (ignoring fake browser strings and version numbers) to create bulletproof universal blocking rules.
• AbuseIPDB Integration: Instantly check an IP's global reputation with one-click formatted links.
• Hybrid Measurement Engine: Demographic charts (trend, browsers, devices) now strictly use Unique IPs for realistic human proportions, while Security charts (blocked threats, maps) use Total Volume (Hits) to show the true scale of repelled attacks.

ACTIVE DEFENSE SHIELDSWe have introduced a firewall-grade protection layer that saves massive amounts of CPU and RAM:

• AI Shield: Blocks Large Language Model scrapers (ChatGPT, GPTBot, Claude, Perplexity, CommonCrawl) from stealing and training on your community's unique content.
• Junk Shield: Automatically identifies and blocks aggressive commercial crawlers (Ahrefs, Semrush, MJ12), vulnerability scanners (SQLMap, Nmap), and script-kiddie tools (Python requests, Curl) that consume your bandwidth for zero return.
• Emergency Mode: A "Panic Button" to block ALL unknown bots instantly during a DDoS attempt or high-load anomaly.
• IP Whitelist: Define trusted IPs that bypass all security checks. Perfect for uptime monitors or admin access.

INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CLASSIFICATIONWe rewrote the detection engine from scratch to distinguish between friend and foe:

• Authorized Crawlers (Green): Essential traffic like Google, Bing, and Yahoo is whitelisted.
• Social & Tech Bots (Allowed): We recognize WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, and Cloudflare bots to ensure link previews and services work perfectly.
• AI & LLM Scrapers (Purple): Identifies bots scraping data for AI training.
• Aggressive/Unknown Bots (Red): Unclassified traffic or known bad actors are flagged and can be blocked.

TRAFFIC INSIGHT DASHBOARDThe report page is a beautifully crafted Security Center:

• Real-Time Threat Counter: A prominent red indicator shows exactly how many malicious requests were blocked today.
• Health Score (A/B/C): An immediate grade evaluating the ratio between real humans and aggressive bots.
• Visual Badges & Top Blocked Chart: Spot threats in seconds with AI/BAD/UNK tags and horizontal bar charts highlighting the top 10 blocked bots.
• Cyber-Geography: Leveraging GeoIP integration (MaxMind or Cloudflare), map not just human users, but the exact origin of Bots and Threats.
• Community Pulse: A technical historical chart comparing Attachment Size (MB) and Attachment Count.

PERFORMANCE & UI/UX

• Ultra-Light Architecture: Heavy database tasks are handled by a dedicated background Cron process once a day. The sidebar widget only performs lightning-fast SELECT operations, completely eliminating database bottlenecks during peak hours.
• Smart Glass Mode: Charts support gorgeous transparency/blur effects, adapting seamlessly to dark backgrounds without conflicting with light/white themes.
• Foolproof Protection: Manual classification buttons auto-disable if a generic browser is detected (e.g., Chrome, Safari), preventing accidental bans of real human users.
• Public Navigation Link: Option to display a public stats link under the "Members" tab for those who prefer not to use the sidebar widget.
