ACL TaskForce

Human-led Unix ACL system that blocks malicious hosts and secures your network

Overview

This script automates IP blocking and allowlisting using UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall). It enables users to:

• Block malicious IPs by adding them to a malicious_ips.txt file.
• Remove specific IPs from the blocklist.
• Allow specific IPs to access designated ports.
• Revoke previously set firewall rules.

The script helps enhance server security by preventing unauthorized access while maintaining necessary connectivity.

Precautions

• Run as root: The script requires sudo privileges to modify firewall rules.
• Ensure malicious_ips.txt exists: This file is necessary to track blocked IPs. The script will create it if absent.
• Use with caution: Improper use may block critical IPs, leading to connectivity issues.
• Test before deployment: Always verify changes in a controlled environment before applying them to production systems.

Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt
