Learning the terminal. Found this nice android app: “Linux Command Library”

It lists a number of man pages and examples.

I found this one:

block known dirty hosts from accessing your machine

wget -qO - http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted|awk '!/#|[a-z]/&&/./{print "iptables -A INPUT -s "$1" -j DROP"}'

I figured that domain was a list of spam sites and such.

Googled it. Found nothing mentioning it. Went to the domain and it was blocked by my ad blocker.

Anyone know of it?

From 2009:

Blacklisted is a compiled list of all known dirty hosts (botnets, spammers, bruteforcers, etc.) which is updated on an hourly basis. This command will get the list and create the rules for you

Whatever it was, it redirects to a generic for sale domain page now. Long dead.

Even if it is still a thing, kinda aus when the command modifies the Firewall like that

Wonder how many devices out there could be owned just by buying that domain…

I think an ever growing list isn’t the best either. Probably makes more sense to utilise fail2ban which will manage your firewall rules appropriately.

Was active up until last year: http://web.archive.org/web/20220113051947/http://infiltrated.net/

Looks like the blacklisted file itself was updated until May 2015: http://web.archive.org/web/20150522093704/http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
