# This script downloads a list of IPs known for brute force attacking within the last two weeks.
# The fetched IPs get blocked with iptables with the special comment "BADIP". This script only
# modifies iptables rules with that comment. This measure makes it well compatible with other firewall
# scripts like the SUSEFirewall.
# The iptables rules are updated every time this script is executed. Additionally this script is
# quiet on stdout, which makes it well suited for being executed as a cronjob.
#
# Please also use fail2ban with the badips modification and help to maintain the list of attackers.
