<p>Shorewall supports two different forms of blacklisting; static and dynamic.</p>
<h2>Static Blacklisting</h2>
<p>Shorewall
static blacklisting support has the following configuration parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>You specify whether you want packets from blacklisted hosts dropped or
rejected using the <a href="Documentation.htm#BLDisposition">BLACKLIST_DISPOSITION</a>
setting in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</li>
<li>You specify whether you want packets from blacklisted hosts logged and at
what syslog level using the <a href="Documentation.htm#BLLoglevel">BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL</a>
setting in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</li>
<li>You list the IP addresses/subnets that you wish to blacklist in <a href="Documentation.htm#Blacklist">/etc/shorewall/blacklist</a></li>
<li>You specify the interfaces whose incoming packets you want checked against
the blacklist using the &quot;<a href="Documentation.htm#BLInterface">blacklist</a>&quot;
option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.</li>
<li>The black list is refreshed from /etc/shorewall/blacklist by the &quot;<a href="Documentation.htm#Starting">shorewall
refresh</a>&quot; command.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Dynamic Blacklisting</h2>
<p>Dynamic blacklisting support was added in version 1.3.2. Dynamic blacklisting
doesn't use any configuration parameters but is rather controlled using
/sbin/shorewall commands:</p>
<ul>
<li>deny <i>&lt;ip address list&gt; </i>- causes packets from the listed IP
addresses to be silently dropped by the firewall.</li>
<li>reject <i>&lt;ip address list&gt; </i>- causes packets from the listed IP
addresses to be rejected by the firewall.</li>
<li>allow <i>&lt;ip address list&gt; </i>- re-enables receipt of packets from hosts
previously blacklisted by a <i>deny</i> or <i>reject</i> command.</li>
<li>save - save the dynamic blacklisting configuration so that it will be
automatically restored the next time that the firewall is restarted.</li>
<li>show dynamic - displays the dynamic blacklisting configuration.</li>
</ul>
<p>Example 1:</p>
<pre> shorewall deny 192.0.2.124 192.0.2.125</pre>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drops packets from hosts 192.0.2.124 and 192.0.2.125</p>
<p>Example 2:</p>
<pre> shorewall allow 192.0.2.125</pre>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Reenables access from 192.0.2.125.</p>
