Generate ShoreWall blacklist from Spamhaus and DShield
February 21st, 2009
I wrote a bash script to automatically generate Shorewall blacklist from Spamhaus drop list and dshield.org’s block list .
Do not run this script automatically if ssh is the only mean you connect to your server, because you can accidentally blacklist yourself. And you may not run it more often then once per hour due to spamhaus limitation.
#!/bin/sh echo "#ADDRESS/SUBNET PROTOCOL PORT" > /tmp/blacklist wget -q -O - http://feeds.dshield.org/block.txt | awk --posix '/^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.0\t/ { print $1 "/24";}' >> /tmp/blacklist wget -q -O - http://www.spamhaus.org/drop/drop.lasso | awk --posix '/^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\// { print $1;}' >> /tmp/blacklist echo "#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE" >> /tmp/blacklist mv /tmp/blacklist /etc/shorewall/blacklist shorewall refresh &>/dev/null
I also use fail2ban to generate dynamic shorewall ban list.
UPDATE: And don’t forget enable blacklist option in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
BLACKLIST_DISPOSITION=DROP
