So, I was playing with skynet stats today because I thought something was odd about the stats.
Code:
Top 10 Blocks From (Outbound);


--------   | --------------       | --------------                                          | --------------                                | ----------------------

I found it odd that in the Top 10 Blocks From (Outbound) it would list the reason "Imported: Apples" as the ban reason when the only lists I have imported using the comment "Apples" was whitelisted items.

firewall import whitelist file.txt "Apples"

I am just using the comment "Apples" as it fits the example. The issue is, I do not have any manually imported blacklists that use the comment "Apples", so how could the ban reason be "Imported: Apples" when I am only using that comment for whitelist import lists?

Anybody wanting to see if they can "reproduce" this issue, I posted more information about it here.

If it can’t find a full IP match in the banned IPs, it tries again with the first three octets. But it doesn’t seem to ensure it’s only the first 3 octets and not the last 3 octets on this second try. Try to escape the first dot where there are 2 in a row. It seems to be testing for a CIDR range.


Test case:
Code:
root@router:~# grep -E "$(echo 10.11.12.13 | cut -d '.' -f1-3)..*/" test.txt
10.11.12.0/24
10.11.123.0/16
30.10.11.120/31
root@router:~# grep -E "$(echo 10.11.12.13 | cut -d '.' -f1-3)\..*/" test.txt
10.11.12.0/24

Why do you have such a thing against "Apples"!! LOL. Hope you resolve this mystery!

I will take a look when I am off work tonight.

Unless I am completely missing something, I believe I figured it out.


needs an adjustment.


Code:
            banreason="$(grep -F " ${ipaddr} " "$skynetipset" | grep -vE "(Skynet-Whitelist){1}(Domains){0,1}" | awk -F '"' '{print $2}')"
            if [ -z "$banreason" ]; then
                banreason="$(grep -E "$(echo "$ipaddr" | cut -d '.' -f1-3)\..*/" "$skynetipset" | grep -vE "(Skynet-Whitelist){1}(Domains){0,1}" | awk -F '"' '{print $2}')*"
            fi

From what I can tell | grep -m1 -vF "Skynet-MasterWL" at one time may have served an actual purpose when the whitelist was only Skynet-MasterWL, but it appears that all the additions has split the whitelists namings.

Code:
ipset list | grep "Skynet"
Name: Skynet-Whitelist
Name: Skynet-WhitelistDomains
Name: Skynet-Blacklist
Name: Skynet-BlockedRanges
Name: Skynet-IOT
Name: Skynet-Master
Skynet-Blacklist
Skynet-BlockedRanges
Name: Skynet-MasterWL
Skynet-Whitelist
Skynet-WhitelistDomains

The $skynetipset location lists the ipset add entries with Skynet-Whitelist and Skynet-WhitelistDomains which are entries we do not wish to match. Skynet-MasterWL is no longer the naming used in this ipset file which renders | grep -m1 -vF "Skynet-MasterWL" invalid.

So changing it to filter out Skynet-Whitelist would be enough to catch either IPs or Domains.

Using your original report in the OP as a test case, how was 203.191.149.239 getting through? Was it a partial IP match from a blocked range? Is there something in your whitelist with 203.191.149?
The IP was in the whitelist, but the Skynet-MasterWL did not apply to properly filtering out comments of whitelisted entries. Otherwise it would have known that the Ban reason was a blocked range.

Looks like @dave14305 got tired of all my putzing arounding. He has located more places in the script to fix. He added in some changes for consistency as well. Overall, great work!


So everyone be ready for another incoming update once @Adamm approves the request.
