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.
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}
$ ip-blocker block 127.0.0.1
Not a good idea btw, blocking all incoming from your loopback-interface :-p
$ 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
