    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The blacklist file is used to perform static blacklisting. You can
    blacklist by source address (IP or MAC), or by application.</para>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">ADDRESS/SUBNET</emphasis> — {<emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis
        role="bold">~</emphasis><emphasis>mac-address</emphasis>|<emphasis>ip-address</emphasis>|<emphasis>address-range</emphasis>|<emphasis
        role="bold">+</emphasis><emphasis>ipset</emphasis>}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Host address, network address, MAC address, IP address range
          (if your kernel and iptables contain iprange match support) or ipset
          name prefaced by "+" (if your kernel supports ipset match).</para>

          <para>MAC addresses must be prefixed with "~" and use "-" as a
          separator.</para>

          <para>Example: ~00-A0-C9-15-39-78</para>

          <para>A dash ("-") in this column means that any source address will
          match. This is useful if you want to blacklist a particular
          application using entries in the PROTOCOL and PORTS columns.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">PROTOCOL</emphasis> (Optional) —
        {<emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>protocol-number</emphasis>|<emphasis>protocol-name</emphasis>}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>If specified, must be a protocol number or a protocol name
          from protocols(5).</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">PORTS</emphasis> (Optional) — {<emphasis
        role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>port-name-or-number</emphasis>[,<emphasis>port-name-or-number</emphasis>]...}</term>

        <listitem>
          <para>May only be specified if the protocol is TCP (6) or UDP (17).
          A comma-separated list of destination port numbers or service names
          from services(5).</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
    </variablelist>

    <para>When a packet arrives on an interface that has the <emphasis
    role="bold">blacklist</emphasis> option specified in <ulink
    url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5), its
    source IP address and MAC address is checked against this file and
    disposed of according to the <emphasis
    role="bold">BLACKLIST_DISPOSITION</emphasis> and <emphasis
    role="bold">BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL</emphasis> variables in <ulink
    url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5). If <emphasis
    role="bold">PROTOCOL</emphasis> or <emphasis
    role="bold">PROTOCOL</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">PORTS</emphasis>
    are supplied, only packets matching the protocol (and one of the ports if
    <emphasis role="bold">PORTS</emphasis> supplied) are blocked.</para>
