Configuring firehol - get-iana.sh

Ishkabibble · 08-25-2009, 07:02 AM

I use dansguardian along with firehol and tinyproxy. When I boot up, I get a message that my ip tables are out of date and I should use the supplied get-iana.sh script to update them. I can't find it, but I found this explanation. Can someone translate that into English for me?

What the script does is munge output of http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ into a format that's usable for the firewall application as apparently it doesn't like it if the reserved ranges aren't available.

Basically a take on running something like [code]curl -s http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ | awk -F'/' '/[0-9].*RESERVED/ {print "iptables -A $CHAINNAME -i $DEVICENAME "$1".0.0.0/8 -j DROP"}'[\code] if you don't run what you run.
