Free Supergatto - Advanced Traffic Statistics 1.8.3

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved GeoIP handling (TOR Network):
  • Fixed a bug where visitors originating from the TOR network (via Cloudflare's "T1" code) would display a broken image instead of a flag.
  • These connections are now correctly mapped to the default "Unknown" icon to maintain a clean UI.
• Database Compatibility (MySQL Fix):
  • Fixed a critical installation error (MySQL query error 3988) that occurred on servers with older database collations.
  • Replaced special graphical characters (█) in the phrase system with standard compatible characters (#) to ensure a smooth installation and upgrade process for all users.
• Versioning:
  • Add-on core updated to version 1.8.3.

NEW KEY FEATURES

AI Security Analyst (AI Radar)

Automated Daily Reports: Every night at 12:30 AM (UTC), the add-on collects the day's traffic data (humans, legitimate bots, blocked threats) and securely sends it to the AI (based on Google Gemini 2.5 Flash).

Advanced Forensic Analysis: The AI doesn't simply summarize the numbers; it thoroughly examines a sample of the last 200 connections to uncover suspicious patterns, aggressive scraping bots (e.g., HeadlessChrome), unauthorized AI training attempts (e.g., ChatGPT bots), and spoofed user agents.

Intelligent Monthly Log: The AI automatically publishes the report in a private staff room of your choice. The system is intelligent: it creates a single thread for each month (e.g., "Security Log - 03/2026") and appends the daily reports as replies, keeping the forum clean and tidy.

Note: This feature is disabled by default and can be configured using the new options in the admin panel (requires a free Google AI Studio API key). (PRO feature)

NOTE: AI prompts and generated thread titles are managed through XenForo's native Phrase system. This allows the report to be instantly translated into any language simply by editing the phrase from the Admin panel (the AI will automatically respond in the requested language).

"Hard Drop" Anti-DDoS and Anti-Scraping System

A new active security mechanism has been introduced. Connections classified as serious threats are no longer simply ignored or logged; they are now "hard dropped" at the server level. This significantly reduces database load and protects the forum from resource overload. (New feature available in options)

Query Optimization: Improved daily traffic extraction queries to support high-traffic forums without impacting Cron load times.

Fixed a minor bug that caused incorrect text to appear in the 7-day chart in the widget and in the Pro user-only stats

Hello everyone!We are incredibly proud to announce the release of Advanced Traffic Statistics 1.8.1, nicknamed "The Hunter".

This update focuses heavily on real-time threat unmasking, database performance for Large Boards, and giving you more control over your Live Radar.

What's New in 1.8.1:

• [Added] Smart Signature Extractor: The Live Radar now features a dynamic algorithm that unmasks advanced bots and scrapers (such as HeadlessChrome or AI crawlers) hiding behind fake browser data. "Unknown Bots" are now a thing of the past!
• [Added] Interactive Radar Filters: We’ve introduced a new dropdown menu right above the Live Radar. You can now filter real-time traffic on the fly (Humans Only, Bots Only, Blocked, or Spoofed) and adjust the display limit (up to 500 rows to ensure optimal server performance).
• [Optimized] 504 Timeout Fix for Large Boards: The default IP log retention has been safely reduced from 30 to 7 days. This drastically cuts down database bloat, resulting in lightning-fast dashboard loading times and entirely preventing 504 Server Timeouts on high-traffic forums.
• [Fixed] Chart Accuracy: Spoofed bots (fake Googlebots, etc.) are now instantly stripped of their disguises and correctly excluded from the "Good Bots" charts.
• [Fixed] CSV Export: The CSV export tool has been completely rewritten to perfectly match the new Smart Radar logic and formatting.

The "Hunter" Community Challenge!Now that the Radar is smarter than ever, we want to see it in action!Install the 1.8.1 update, let it run, and share a screenshot of your Live Radar catching a sneaky bot or a blocked threat in the discussion thread. Let's see who catches the worst offender!

This major update focuses heavily on Privacy (GDPR compliance), system stability, and giving you more control over your data. We highly recommend all users upgrade to this version.

What's New in 1.8.0:

• [Privacy & GDPR] 100% Local Assets (No CDN): We have moved all external resources locally! The Interactive Map libraries (ECharts) and all country flag icons (SVGs) are now hosted directly on your server. The add-on makes zero external CDN requests, guaranteeing absolute privacy for your visitors and making your dashboard load instantly even if external networks go down.
• [Fix & Stability] Strict UTF-8 DB Enforcement: Fixed a critical MySQL query error [1366] caused by aggressive bots (e.g., Baidu) injecting malformed or non-UTF-8 characters into the User-Agent strings. The traffic logger now strictly sanitizes and enforces UTF-8 encoding on all incoming data before it hits your database, preventing query crashes.
• [Fix] Map Visibility Bug: Fixed a logic issue where the interactive map was not displaying for registered members and guests even when the correct viewing permissions were enabled.

Important Upgrade Note: Because we have added new local image and script directories, please make sure you upload the entire contents of the new styles/statistiche folder to your server to ensure the map and flags display correctly.

This update expands the capabilities of the Live Radar introduced in the previous version, equipping it with a true behavioral analysis engine. The system no longer just tells you who is on your forum, but analyzes in real-time what they are trying to do.

New Behavioral Analysis (Threat Tags)The Live Radar now scans browsing habits and automatically assigns visual micro-badges to highlight anomalous activities:

• [SCRAPER] (Purple): Identifies entities performing massive data extraction and heavy bandwidth consumption (triggers over 300 Hits in suspicious sessions).
• [SCANNER] (Cyan): Detects hacking attempts or vulnerability scouting. The system intercepts anyone looking for system files, backups, or foreign CMS panels (.env, .sql, /wp-login, etc.).
• [BRUTE FORCE] (Orange): Flags repeated attacks on login pages. Smart Thresholds applied: The system distinguishes between an attack bot (low threshold) and a real human user who simply forgot their password (high threshold), preventing false positives and accidental lockouts of your members.

UI/UX Design

• Micro-LED Status: The "Evaluation/Score" column of the Radar has been completely redesigned. Bulky rectangular buttons have been replaced with sleek, glowing "Micro-LED" visual indicators. The radar is now much cleaner, compact, and readable.
• Updated Legend: Restructured the legend box to include explanations for the new Threat Tags and the new visual style.

Bug Fixes & Logic Tweaks

• BAN Button Logic Fix: The "BAN IP" action button will no longer appear for Bots explicitly classified as "GOOD" (e.g., Googlebot, Facebook), even if they correctly trigger the "Scraper" badge due to their high indexing volumes.
