Re: hosts.deny: how do i test to see if hosts.deny is working



I should have mentioned that the format of hosts.deny file is this:
ALL: 65.95.68.87
ALL: 66.249.66.37
ALL: 216.94.11.42
ALL: 72.14.199.20
ALL: 65.95.71.128
ALL: 65.214.44.29
ALL: 216.221.90.213
ALL: 64.180.179.132
ALL: 66.249.66.210
ALL: 65.95.68.115
ALL: 72.14.194.26
ALL: 216.232.222.59
ALL: 64.180.172.3
ALL: 206.47.136.100
ALL: 65.95.69.159
ALL: 65.95.71.120
ALL: 65.95.68.112
ALL: 65.95.69.85
ALL: 66.249.66.205
ALL: 86.34.4.118
ALL: 84.19.188.27
ALL: 195.225.177.131

format of my hosts.allow is this:
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

I am trying to block scraper sites from accessing my sites.
I have put a bunch ip addresses in my hosts.deny and I'm not sure if
they've blocked anything.

Then I put my own IP address into the hosts.deny to see if I could
block myself. that didn't work.

I would like to know if there is a log file or some other way to
verify that IP's that I've designated in hosts.deny are actually
getting blocked.

Many thanks.
