# Download bash script use for loading ipset into kernel, and make it executable

Sudo apt install ipset iprange netfilter-persistent Prerequisitesįirst, we will install the dependencies, then make a directory to which we will download those ipset, then download a bash script that helps us load the downloaded ipset into the kernel. You can use any list you want and block access from IP matching in those lists. There are lists for continents, datacenters, known proxies/VPN, malicious IPs, etc.

So in this post, we are going to show you how you can block access with Ipset, which is already included in the Linux kernel, so we don’t have to rely on 3rd party kernel, and we are also going to use the IPs blacklist ipset format maintain by Firehols:Īs you can see, they actively update those ipset regularly, and those sets are not limited by countries only. However, since that method relies on 3rd party kernel, some users have trouble using it. We have posted about blocking countries accessing servers via the GeoIP module from Xtables-addons. We now will configure the activate scripts to run when the system boots and configure cron to save our ipset lists twice a day.Facebook LinkedIn WhatsApp Telegram Messenger Copy Go ahead and make the scripts executable: Logger -t iptables “fail: add ipset $IPSET rule to iptables” Logger -t iptables “success: add ipset $IPSET rule to iptables” sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m multiport -dports ports to include -j SET -add-set $IPSET src # can be created once sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m multiport -dports ports to include -j SET -add-set $IPSET src # can be created once sbin/iptables -I INPUT -m set -set $IPSET src -j DROP # must create this for each list Logger -t ipset “success: restore of $SET” The ports to include portion o the iptables rules are the ports that you want to expose and if anyone makes any contact with those ports they are automatically added to the set list.:įind /etc/sysconfig -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname ipset. The setname is the name of the set to restore. The following is the script to go within the activate script. Nano /usr/sbin/ipset_activate_ setname.sh I prefer to use Nano as my CLI test editor, you can use whatever you prefer. I prefer separate files so I can disable, enable, and create new files with just small changes.) You need to create a script for each (unless you are better at scripting than me and can get them to work within a single file. Next we need to create the auto-re-apply script so the set is reloaded into memory after boot. setname Reboot reapplication and auto banning config Ipset save setname > /etc/sysconfig/ipset.

Currently our ipset is empty, so every time to make manual changes you will nee to save it. ipsets are lists that only exist in ram, so they need to be flushed to the disk. Next we need to save the ipset so that it is available after every restart. Where setname is the custom name you wish to give to the list. So to create an ipset to hold our ip addresses: You can use either one, but cannot as I understand it mix and match the two within one list. Ipsets are similar to an array listings of ip addresses or ip netblocks. You will need to ensure that you have ipset, wget, and iptables installed.

I made this using Centos 7, YMMV on different distros.

I found that using the utility ipsets gave me some amount of the capabilities. I know that failtoban is a very popular “firewall” for linux systems due to its versatility, however, I wanted to see if I could replicate some of the capabilities without needing to use it. This is a post from my original blog, I’ve re-posted it here.
