|
|
# This is for blocking whole hosts through blackhole routes.
|
|
#
|
|
# PRO:
|
|
# - Works on all kernel versions and as no compatibility problems (back to debian lenny and WAY further).
|
|
# - It's FAST for very large numbers of blocked ips.
|
|
# - It's FAST because it Blocks traffic before it enters common iptables chains used for filtering.
|
|
# - It's per host, ideal as action against ssh password bruteforcing to block further attack attempts.
|
|
# - No additional software required beside iproute/iproute2
|
|
#
|
|
# CON:
|
|
# - Blocking is per IP and NOT per service, but ideal as action against ssh password bruteforcing hosts
