ip-blocker

Simple IPTables wrapper - Makes block/unblock tasks easier

Working with IPTables can sometimes become a pain when you just want to perform a simple task like blocking an IP (ex. an attacker)

I hate writing a lot in my *NIX terminal when performing sysadm task that should be simple.

Be warned! This script is just for block, unblock and listing your blocked ip's.

Setting up

Enter terminal and type (or copy/paste)

git clone https://github.com/olect/ip-blocker.git /tmp/ip-blocker
cp /tmp/ip-blocker/ip-blocker.sh /usr/bin/ip-blocker
chmod a+x /usr/bin/ip-blocker
rm -Rf /tmp/ip-blocker

Make sure you have sudo rights

And you are ready to go

While in terminal, type ip-blocker and you should get:

* Usage: /usr/bin/ip-blocker {block|unblock|list}

Blocking

$ ip-blocker block 127.0.0.1

Not a good idea btw, blocking all incoming from your loopback-interface :-p

Unblocking

$ ip-blocker unblock 127.0.0.1

Thus allowing incoming on all ports from 127.0.0.1

OR

$ ip-blocker unblock 2

Thus removing rule number 2, see ip-blocker list for rulenumbers
