CRITICAL BUG FIX:
Added is_valid_ip() function that was being called by blocking functions but didn't exist, causing all IP blocks to fail with "command not found" error.
THE PROBLEM:
live-attack-monitor.sh line 813 calls is_valid_ip() to validate IP format before blocking, but the function was never implemented, causing:
```
is_valid_ip: command not found
✗ Error: Invalid IP format: 172.245.177.148
```
THE FIX:
Implemented is_valid_ip() in lib/attack-patterns.sh with:
- IPv4 validation with octet range checking (0-255)
- IPv6 validation (basic format checking)
- Returns 0 for valid IPs, 1 for invalid
- Exported for use across all scripts
VALIDATION:
- IPv4: 172.245.177.148 ✓ Valid
- IPv4 invalid: 999.999.999.999 ✓ Rejected
- IPv6: 2001:db8::1 ✓ Valid
IMPACT:
- IP blocking now works correctly
- Blocks from live-attack-monitor menu functional
- Prevents invalid IP formats from being passed to CSF/iptables
FILES CHANGED:
- lib/attack-patterns.sh: Added is_valid_ip() function + export
