Simple ban script

"nodecore_ddosban" is a simple ban script (written for Ubuntu) that scans ss and if an IP is connecting to port 8500 to frequently, it calls fail2ban (which wraps iptables) to block that IP.

Script here: http://mirror1.veriblock.org/nodecore_ddosban_v1.tar

# copy file over, make executable, run
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

#you may be prompted to install fail2ban

Notes:

• if an IP is added, then it records in the log "ddosban.log"

View is script has run (example for ubuntu):

grep -i cron /var/log/syslog | grep ddosban

View IPS that were banned

1. View the "ddosban.log"
2. Run "sudo iptables -L" to see current bans
