Shell script to block IP im iptables

[cafdesigner]

Hello...
Somebody has a Shell script to block IP im iptables?...
... With a dialog box asking for the IP that I want to block...

Hi, use this one-line command.

iptables -I INPUT -s 25.55.55.55 -j DROP

just replace 25.55.55.55 with the IP to block.

You know CPANEL has an IP blocking feature?

[cafdesigner]

Not wise person! Which the way of this tool?

You could try using a GUI like fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org), it'll push the ruleset remotely once configured. The only thing is that you need to somehow disable anything related to the modules not available for VPS (like ipt_log, and ipt_state)

Try APF which was developed by R-fx Networks -- http://www.rfxnetworks.com/apf.php.

It is a free ware and many big Linux hosting companies use this for securing their site. Do update me if you want any clarification with it.

Check the security forum, APF won't work presently, but the extra modules needed for iptables are being added. When they are, then APF will work.
