   Hey Mike;

   I made a utilty for myself which I call "ipblock". It handles whatever string   
   I wish to enter whether it's IPv4 or IPv6, a single IP or a block. It writes   
   to a file called /etc/blocked.ips which is then called upon bootup as part of   
   my firewalling. In doing a whole block enter in the cidr shorthand. Ex:   
   /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 49.7.0.0/16 -j DROP   
   /sbin/iptables -I OUTPUT -d 49.7.0.0/16 -j DROP   
   /sbin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 49.7.0.0/16 -j DROP   
      
   This filters a scanbot block from my box. :)   
      
   Further questions, feel free to netmail me as this really isn't Bink   
   information. I'll be  happy to try and answer. You can also add logging   
   and such if you desire. I don't feel that if I'm denying a block that I   
   need to see my work did the job I programmed it to do though.
