  • Banning of IP addresses

    From ogg@21:2/147 to All on Thu Apr 27 00:14:44 2023
    To give some background, I've been plagued with "WB read socket" and "RB write socket" issues in my log files. I've been watching for a few months and it seams to be related to stretchoid.com addresses.

    After a search, I found a listing on github (https://github.com/SilvrrGIT/IP-Lists/blob/master/stretchoid
    # A firewall blacklist composed of Stretchoid scanners) of around 1100
    ip addresses associated with that site. It was posted as block listing for some firewalls.

    My questions are: 1) Is there a max limit to the number of entries in the denylist.txt and 2) is anyone familiar with this stretchoid.com?

    ... Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

    I'm not aware of any limit, no not familiar with stretchoid.com.
    You can you wildcard syntax in denylist.txt

    It's a pitty the IP's in that list are all over the place... It would be so easy to use a ipset hash:net to block em... #-(

    Using upset will work, but the list then is a mess... ^0<
