The PeerGuardian Script

With this script, another possibility is created to block incoming connections. With this PeerGuardian manages multiple IP blacklists and creates IPTables rules these incoming IPs locked out at the gateway.

A thanks again to burningpenguin for his preliminary work! For more Information: IPFire Forum - [Feature Request] Peergaurdian CLI

There are IP blacklists of malc0de.com, openbl.org the last 90 days blocklist and zeustracker.abuse.ch fetched, remove comments and sort the IPs and stored here /etc/sysconfig/blacklist.

Edit IPTabels

Before running the script, should be under /etc/sysconfig/firewall.local are still being processed. Look at this how to Load IP-Blacklist from file.

PeerGuardian Script

When this is complete, put this script at your desired place on the IPFire.

filename = blacklist.sh

Make Script Executable

After transfering / creating the script, it must be made executable:

chmod +x blacklist.sh

Timing

For a regular check by the above script can be called by a Cronjob:

fcrontab -e

Specify the desired frequency, here every 00:10 AM, for the cronjob.

# sys_info
10 00 * * *     /mnt/harddisk/scripts/blacklist.sh

The disadvantages

Since the blacklist contains many potentially dangerous addresses, there may be a large number of false positives, dynamic IP addresses that may not have been considered dangerous at once be dangerous and vice versa.

The script is loaded with nearly 10,000 IPs what to reload the firewall.local can run long and the call to iptabels -L takes forever.
