I'm sorry, but what exactly is the purpose here? I did a little poking
around and it looks like just a massive list of ip's to block, but for
what purpose?
I'm not trying to say that this is not the right solution for whatever
your problem is, but it certainly seems very brute force. Hence my
questions.
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.
