Make scan detection more targeted to avoid false positives

Major changes to prevent legitimate users from being blocked: 1. Increased thresholds significantly: - Initial trigger: 10 → 25 errors - Medium level: 20 → 40 errors - High level: 35 → 60 errors - Critical level: 50 → 100 errors 2. Only count actual scan attempts as errors: - Script files: .php, .asp, .jsp, .cgi, .pl, .py, .rb, .sh - Admin paths: /wp-admin, /phpmyadmin, /adminer - Config files: .env, .git, .htaccess, .ini, .yml - Backup files: .backup, .bak, .sql, .dump - Known vulnerable paths: /cgi-bin, /fckeditor 3. Explicitly exclude legitimate assets from counting: - Images: .jpg, .png, .gif, .svg, .webp - Fonts: .woff, .woff2, .ttf, .eot, .otf - Static: .css, .js, .map, .pdf - Common paths: /static/, /assets/, /fonts/, /images/ 4. Still count all 401/403 errors (auth failures are suspicious) This prevents missing fonts, images, CSS files from triggering blocks while still catching actual vulnerability scanners. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
