BotSentry | Most powerful antibot v9.8-THANATOS

CAUTION! This new version requires that you reset your config!

ADDITIONS
- Added support for Velocity Proxy (https://velocitypowered.com/)
- Added a fix for 3 different new exploits
- Added support for Java 12 and up
- Added a check called FirstJoin, this check will kick a user when its his first-join, ip and nickname based, this check will force the attacker to re-use every nickname of the attack for the same IP (really cool)

CHANGES
- LongNick and SmallNick checks were giving a small number of false-positives, now they won't

FIXES
- One console error was making that some timers of the plugin mess up, now its fixed
- One console error that was appearing during strong attacks (20k - 25k bots per second)
- The global captcha https://notbot.es was storing visitors iPv6 instead of iPv4 when a user had iPv6, that made that some users were not able to join even they completed the captcha
- Posibly fixed an error with SSL, our web-server was not accepting SSLv3 and lower, not it should work fine
- Our public discord bot was not working well, now it should work perfectly

- Another console error happening to some customers
- Antibot mode was disabling too fast

THIS VERSION CONTAINS IMPORTANT BUG-FIXES AND PATCHES!!!!

YOU MUST DELETE THE CONFIG.YML AND GENERATE A NEW ONE WHEN UPDATING TO 8.2!

ADDITIONS
- Added an extensive, optimized and async developer API, you can look at all the docs here: https://cyberdevelopment.es/BotSentry/javadocs
- Added a new file called "slowBots.json", this file will tell us what are the conflicting checks in case that some of your user gets into the Blacklist because the slow bot checks

CHANGES
- Config values and now the Actionbar message will display the IPs in the Queue too

FIXED
- Finally fixed a console error that appeared sometimes when pinging the server
- Fixed 2 console errors that were happening to 5-6 customers
- Finally fixed that sometimes the plugin couldn't get the server IPORT
- Fixed that 1 check wasn't working, this check helps a lot when detecting slow bot attacks
- Fixed that the antibot mode wasn't disabling earlier if it false enabled. Now it will disable super fast when an attack is already mitigated.

YOU MUST DELETE THE CONFIG.YML AND GENERATE A NEW ONE WHEN UPDATING TO 8.1!

ADDITIONS
- Now you will be able to specify in the Country check, if you want to blacklist all the countries from the list during attack, or you want to blacklist all the contries that doesn't appear in the list during attack.
- Added a new debug option to make easier for us to monitor issues in a future
- Added a new button into the verification website to let people who already made the captcha, do it again, in case they got bugged or they lost internet in process or something occurred (of course, the content of the button is translatable too)

CHANGES
- Changed the way that a Slow check was behaving, the only check that was giving false-positives blacklisting some real players randomly, won't do it again as it will only perform kicks instead of bans (of course this is configurable too in case your server is really susceptible to slow bot attacks)
- We got a domain to shorten the content of the captcha site, now it will tell the new users during attack to verify in https://notbot.es, so its shorter and easier for them.

FIXED
- Fixed weird console errors appearing sometimes when a user pinged the server list
- Fixed weird console errors appearing sometimes when a user joined the server
- Fixed that sometimes the plugin was not able to take the ip and port of the server in some bungeecord versions and forks.
- Fixed that only for 1-2 servers, was getting an error on load and various console errors during the server aperture.

Guys... I want to welcome you to **Bot-Sentry-8.0-ARES** and all the features that it includes. You need to **read** all of this carefully to see all the cool changes and additions

- ADDITIONS:
· New firewall-blacklisting system to blacklist the bots internally
· New check to prevent certain countries from joining your server during attack (blacklisting them), this new feature is capable of blocking A LOT of bots, nearly the 99% of the attack instantly if you configurate it well. You can see a list of the TOP countries detected by Bot-Sentry here: https://cutt.ly/countrylist
· New check to prevent slow bots that could "bypass" the previous version luckly
· New check to stop only-ping attacks called "ping-limit"
· New auto-purge feature that can purge your Server Logs, your BotSentry Logs, your Blacklist or your Whitelist with certain conditions to do so.
· New command /bs notifications to see notifications about the attack that is going on in the actionbar
· New permission "botsentry.monitor" that will give acces to /bs notifications and to /bs stats (the command bs stats won't show the server IPORT to the person if he has this permission only)
· New way to let players that never played before join during attack, your players will be able to complete the captcha from https://cutt.ly/botverify, after 10-30 seconds, they will get added into the Whitelist of ALL servers using Bot-Sentry. Servers are able to configurate their very own verify website (still hosted by us) here https://cyberdevelopment.es/BotSentry/verify/custom

- CHANGES:
· Change into the Console filtering, now it will send just 1 message every second displaying stats about the attack.
· Changes into one slow-attack check that was giving many false-positives.
