Question on this list. I am too lazy to go through the list to verify.
I have the impression that those in list 4-7 should be covered in list 3. Say, in at least 4 blacklists should also meet the criteria in at least 3 blacklists right? If this is the case, perhaps just 3.txt will do as it already covers everything in 4-7.txt.
Click to expand...
Not necessarily... the 1.txt is 2.3mb... and as you go down to 8.txt, its down to 149 lines.
 
Does it make sense to install Skynet Firewall if my Fritzbox 6850 5G Modem with an public IPv4 is not providing a public IPv4 for the ASUS RT-AX86S router?

I don't think so but correct me if i am wrong.

I read the description again.
Quote:
“IPsum is a threat intelligence feed based on 30+ different publicly available lists of suspicious and/or malicious IP addresses.
…snipped…
In directory levels you can find preprocessed raw IP lists based on number of blacklist occurrences (e.g. levels/3.txt holds IP addresses that can be found on 3 or more blacklists).”

To be in 8.txt, the ip must exists in 8 or more of the total 30+ reference blacklists.
To be in 7.txt, the ip must exists in 7 or more of his reference lists. ip that exists 8 times also qualify here. This means everything in 8.txt is included in 7.txt.
It is correct that the size of 1.txt > 2.txt > 3.txt > … > 8.txt

So your logic was correct on this, @chongnt ... I cross-referenced entries from list 8.txt, and they were all contained within 3.txt. I've adjusted my filter list accordingly to prevent skynet from having to download and process dupes, which should save a few seconds on processing time. ;) Thanks again!

You could install it and have it block Outbound traffic only.

Thanks @Viktor Jaep help on cross-reference the entries.
The other day I could not find a good way to compare the files. Just found a way to do it with grep, it looks for all lines in the second file that does not match any line in the first file.
Code: 
admin@RT-AC86U-DBA8:/tmp/mnt/amtm/skynet/lists# wc -l 3.txt
17733 3.txt
admin@RT-AC86U-DBA8:/tmp/mnt/amtm/skynet/lists# wc -l 4.txt
8742 4.txt
admin@RT-AC86U-DBA8:/tmp/mnt/amtm/skynet/lists# grep -vxFf 3.txt 4.txt | wc -l
0
admin@RT-AC86U-DBA8:/tmp/mnt/amtm/skynet/lists# grep -vxFf 4.txt 3.txt | wc -l
8991

When I want to use @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow s custom filter list, I get 0 banned IPs:
Any suggestions why this is happening?

It was working good, before I tried some other lists mentioned above.
Then I decided to switch back to @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow s list, but it's not loading IPs...
Click to expand...
I finished updating it.


If you are feeling impowered you could also try my generated filter.


I curate my own list from those same sources every night.
 
@SomeWhereOverTheRainBow
Thanks, but Skynet says, your first link still has 0 IPs.
The second link does have ~ 300.000 IPs, but no ranges.

Thanks @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow and everyone for your contributions on these blocklists.
Figured I'd mention a few oddities I noticed when checking some of the individual filters:

try it now, i updated it again:


I removed all incompatible lists from skynet filter list.

Weird there are no ranges from the my list. I see the subnet indicators on some of my addresses. I believe it is because skynet (or iptables) is having trouble processing that long of a list. If it was successfully processed it would be closer to 400,000 ips including ranges.
@Ubimo
I implemented a new sort technique to make sure the ip were in an understandable order:

That is the curl technique skynet uses.

You have to tell curl to accept redirects.

What`s "Outbound traffic"?

Would i need a public IPv4 for my router for it?
Currently i do not have an public IPv4 for the router but i am in good hope that i will fix this but i do need more information and jnowlege regarding Portforwarding etc. to get an/ the publik IPv4 from my Fritzbox 6850 5G.

This link is working again, but is not blocking any ranges. It's blocking ~200.000 IPs, but no ranges.
The second link is also blocking about 400.000 IPs but no ranges.

Some time ago, your filter list also included ranges.
Click to expand...
Not sure what to tell you, unless iptables is not cooperating with the entries. Or maybe the list that is no longer any good was the list that had all the ranges. Tbh most of the lists don't list ranges, they only list the either subnet form or straight ip form.

@SomeWhereOverTheRainBow
Screenshot 1 is your list - 0 ranges banned
Screenshot 2 is Skynet default - 2055 ranges banned
Click to expand...
Okay so using the first link, i am not sure why there are no ranges since it would be pulling the lists straight from the sources like skynet default does:

as you can see, there is not that much difference between the default, versus mine:


in fact I include all the lists that are in skynet default. So it should be banning those "ranges" still.

The question begs to ask why is skynet doing this incorrectly in some instances?

Let us look at what skynet code defines to be a "range"-

This is User added ranges (added by skynet menu option for ranges):


This is ranges blocked by blocking countries:


This is ranges blocked by blocking VIA "ASN" codes


@Adamm- "Why are when users load a custom filter.list, their user defined ranges are not included in the iptable rules; however, when they use the default filter lists their user defined ranges are included in the iptable rules?"

Basically @Ubimo has pointed out when they load a custom filter.list, not much different from the default, there are no longer any ranges showing up as being banned in the statistic ( which implies the skynet-banned ranges rules are not getting loaded when switching to custom filter.list option). However, when they switch back to default filter.list, their banned ranges are once again included in the statistics (which implies skynet-banned ranges are once again loaded properly into the iptable ruleset).

@Ubimo

In the code link below, I see reference to using the custom list with the banmalware option. Possibly different steps are taking if "fast-switch" is enabled in diversion or skynet. Maybe this is causing the skipping of adding ranges when using custom filter lists? But I don't know @Adamm script well enough yet to tell you.


more specifically, this line:



@Ubimo

A temporary solution is to manually restart skynet after switching to custom filter lists and your "blocked ranges" should hopefully be added back. (banned ranges = ranges you have added, any countries you block, and any ASN codes you block, and anything that gets added with a subnet attached like /24 at the end of the ipaddress).

Code: 
( firewall ban range 8.8.8.8/24 "Apples" ) This Bans the CIDR Block Specified With The Comment Apples
( firewall ban country "pk cn sa" ) This Bans The Known IPs For The Specified Countries (Accepts Single/Multiple Inputs If Quoted) https://www.ipdeny.com/ipblocks/
( firewall ban asn AS123456 ) This Bans the ASN Specified

@Ubimo

If the custom filter list were loading correctly, here would be the amount of banned IPS ranges contributed.

Code: 
curl -fsL --retry 3 --connect-timeout 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jumpsmm7/GeneratedAdblock/master/filter.list" | awk -F/ '{print $0}' | xargs "curl" -fsSL | grep -E '^(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])(\/(1?[0-9]|2?[0-9]|3?[0-2]))?)$' | grep -vE '^(0\.|10\.|100\.(6[4-9]|[7-9][0-9]|1[0-1][0-9]|12[0-7])\.|127\.|169\.254\.|172\.1[6-9]\.|172\.2[0-9]\.|172\.3[0-1]\.|192\.0\.0\.|192\.0\.2\.|192\.168\.|198\.(1[8-9])\.|198\.51\.100\.|203\.0\.113\.|2(2[4-9]|[3-4][0-9]|5[0-5])\.|8\.8\.8\.8|8\.8\.4\.4|1\.1\.1\.1|1\.0\.0\.1)' | awk '!x[$0]++' | grep -F "/" | wc -l

IP from non-Ranges:

Code: 
curl -fsL --retry 3 --connect-timeout 3 "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jumpsmm7/GeneratedAdblock/master/filter.list" | awk -F/ '{print $0}' | xargs "curl" -fsSL | grep -E '^(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])(\/(1?[0-9]|2?[0-9]|3?[0-2]))?)$' | grep -vE '^(0\.|10\.|100\.(6[4-9]|[7-9][0-9]|1[0-1][0-9]|12[0-7])\.|127\.|169\.254\.|172\.1[6-9]\.|172\.2[0-9]\.|172\.3[0-1]\.|192\.0\.0\.|192\.0\.2\.|192\.168\.|198\.(1[8-9])\.|198\.51\.100\.|203\.0\.113\.|2(2[4-9]|[3-4][0-9]|5[0-5])\.|8\.8\.8\.8|8\.8\.4\.4|1\.1\.1\.1|1\.0\.0\.1)' | awk '!x[$0]++' | grep -vF "/" | wc -l
