Addon core
Description Add an "under attack" mode for the security settings with the following new options:
  • Minimum score (only count hack attacks with this score or higher; default is 5)
  • Under attack time (number of minutes in which to count hack attacks; default is 10)
  • Under attack threshold (number of hack attacks of the given minimum score triggered within the given time to activate under attack mode; default is 25)
  • Under attack duration (when under attack, the site must go this many minutes without any hack attacks of the given minimum score before under attack ends; default is 60)
  • Display message (Whether to display a global message to everyone when under attack is active; default is no)

When a site enters "under attack", then all IP addresses that triggered a hack attack of the minimum score or higher within the given attack time are automatically banned (regardless of the hack attack ban threshold). Additionally, any IP addresses that trigger a hack attack of the minimum score will be automatically banned while the site is under attack (regardless of the hack attack ban threshold).

Add a new notification to inform staff when someone is banned because of under attack mode (this is different from a ban because of the hack attack threshold, but the notification should be similar and give a summary).
Additional information This will help mitigate attacks against a site happening from multiple IP addresses at roughly the same time.
