Functions

func Init

func Init()

init precomputes decay factors.

Types

type DynamicBanScore

type DynamicBanScore struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

DynamicBanScore provides dynamic ban scores consisting of a persistent and a decaying component. The persistent score could be utilized to create simple additive banning policies similar to those found in other bitcoin node implementations.

The decaying score enables the creation of evasive logic which handles misbehaving peers (especially application layer DoS attacks) gracefully by disconnecting and banning peers attempting various kinds of flooding. DynamicBanScore allows these two approaches to be used in tandem.

Zero value: Values of type DynamicBanScore are immediately ready for use upon declaration.

func (*DynamicBanScore) Increase

func (s *DynamicBanScore) Increase(persistent, transient uint32) uint32

Increase increases both the persistent and decaying scores by the values passed as parameters. The resulting score is returned.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*DynamicBanScore) Int

func (s *DynamicBanScore) Int() uint32

Int returns the current ban score, the sum of the persistent and decaying scores.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*DynamicBanScore) Reset

func (s *DynamicBanScore) Reset()

Reset set both persistent and decaying scores to zero.

This function is safe for concurrent access.

func (*DynamicBanScore) String

func (s *DynamicBanScore) String() string

String returns the ban score as a human-readable string.
