We were discussing some rogue p2p sites which try to connect to bittorrent clients to collect information about the users. The discussion was prompted by a number of posts on slashdot, which led to peerguardian website and kind of took off from there. The purpose is to block/drop traffic from all the ip ranges listed in blocklist provided by peerguardian website. I can give more pointers if this is not sufficient. The result was the experiment to use the massive blocklist and to automate the process in iptables firewall on a router -- needs iptables, bash, curl and maybe pythong or perl. I am giving it a shot. As I said before, this is the first attempt. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
