Tibor Bősze c75fea9c94 Implement banning based on dynamic ban scores
Dynamic ban scores consist of a persistent and a decaying component. The
persistent score can be used to create simple additive banning policies
simlar 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.
Dynamic ban scores allow these two approaches to be used in tandem.

This pull request includes the following:

 - Dynamic ban score type & functions, with tests for core functionality
 - Ban score of connected peers can be queried via rpc (getpeerinfo)
 - Example policy with decaying score increments on mempool and getdata
 - Logging of misbehavior once half of the ban threshold is reached
 - Banning logic can be disabled via configuration (enabled by default)
 - User defined ban threshold can be set via configuration

btcd is a full-node bitcoin implementation written in Go.
The default options are sane for most users. This means btcd will work 'out of
the box' for most users. However, there are also a wide variety of flags that
can be used to control it.
The following section provides a usage overview which enumerates the flags. An
interesting point to note is that the long form of all of these options
(except -C) can be specified in a configuration file that is automatically
parsed when btcd starts up. By default, the configuration file is located at
~/.btcd/btcd.conf on POSIX-style operating systems and %LOCALAPPDATA%\btcd\btcd.conf
on Windows. The -C (--configfile) flag, as shown below, can be used to override
this location.
Usage:
btcd [OPTIONS]
Application Options:
-V, --version Display version information and exit
-C, --configfile= Path to configuration file
-b, --datadir= Directory to store data
--logdir= Directory to log output.
-a, --addpeer= Add a peer to connect with at startup
--connect= Connect only to the specified peers at startup
--nolisten Disable listening for incoming connections -- NOTE:
Listening is automatically disabled if the --connect
or --proxy options are used without also specifying
listen interfaces via --listen
--listen= Add an interface/port to listen for connections
(default all interfaces port: 8333, testnet: 18333)
--maxpeers= Max number of inbound and outbound peers (125)
--nobanning Disable banning of misbehaving peers
--banthreshold= Maximum allowed ban score before disconnecting and
banning misbehaving peers.
--banduration= How long to ban misbehaving peers. Valid time units
are {s, m, h}. Minimum 1 second (24h0m0s)
-u, --rpcuser= Username for RPC connections
-P, --rpcpass= Password for RPC connections
--rpclimituser= Username for limited RPC connections
--rpclimitpass= Password for limited RPC connections

(default port: 8334, testnet: 18334)
--rpccert= File containing the certificate file
--rpckey= File containing the certificate key
--rpcmaxclients= Max number of RPC clients for standard connections
(10)
--rpcmaxwebsockets= Max number of RPC websocket connections (25)
--norpc Disable built-in RPC server -- NOTE: The RPC server
is disabled by default if no rpcuser/rpcpass or
rpclimituser/rpclimitpass is specified
--notls Disable TLS for the RPC server -- NOTE: This is only
allowed if the RPC server is bound to localhost
--nodnsseed Disable DNS seeding for peers
--externalip= Add an ip to the list of local addresses we claim to
listen on to peers
--proxy= Connect via SOCKS5 proxy (eg. 127.0.0.1:9050)
--proxyuser= Username for proxy server
--proxypass= Password for proxy server
--onion= Connect to tor hidden services via SOCKS5 proxy
(eg. 127.0.0.1:9050)
--onionuser= Username for onion proxy server
--onionpass= Password for onion proxy server
--noonion Disable connecting to tor hidden services
--torisolation Enable Tor stream isolation by randomizing user
credentials for each connection.
--testnet Use the test network
--regtest Use the regression test network
--simnet Use the simulation test network
--nocheckpoints Disable built-in checkpoints. Don't do this unless
you know what you're doing.
--dbtype= Database backend to use for the Block Chain
(leveldb)
--profile= Enable HTTP profiling on given port -- NOTE port
must be between 1024 and 65536
--cpuprofile= Write CPU profile to the specified file
-d, --debuglevel= Logging level for all subsystems {trace, debug,
info, warn, error, critical} -- You may also specify
<subsystem>=<level>,<subsystem2>=<level>,... to set
the log level for individual subsystems -- Use show
to list available subsystems (info)
--upnp Use UPnP to map our listening port outside of NAT
--minrelaytxfee= The minimum transaction fee in BTC/kB to be
considered a non-zero fee.
--limitfreerelay= Limit relay of transactions with no transaction fee
to the given amount in thousands of bytes per
minute (15)
--norelaypriority Do not require free or low-fee transactions to have
high priority for relaying
--maxorphantx= Max number of orphan transactions to keep in memory
(1000)
--generate Generate (mine) bitcoins using the CPU
--miningaddr= Add the specified payment address to the list of
addresses to use for generated blocks -- At least
one address is required if the generate option is
set
--blockminsize= Mininum block size in bytes to be used when creating
a block
--blockmaxsize= Maximum block size in bytes to be used when creating
a block (750000)
--blockprioritysize= Size in bytes for high-priority/low-fee transactions
when creating a block (50000)
--getworkkey= DEPRECATED -- Use the --miningaddr option instead
--addrindex Build and maintain a full address index. Currently
only supported by leveldb.
--dropaddrindex Deletes the address-based transaction index from the
database on start up, and the exits.
--nopeerbloomfilters Disable bloom filtering support.
--sigcachemaxsize= The maximum number of entries in the signature
verification cache.
