It seamlessly integrates with Linux firewalls: it uses `ipset` along with `iptables` or `firewalld` (`ufw` support coming soon..).\nIt includes daily automation via `cron` job and integration with `fail2ban`.\n\n## Note\n\n\u003e [!CAUTION]\n\u003e This tool is still IN DEVELOPMENT and is designed for \"domestic\" server protection. It's intended for aware sudos. Please use responsibly and ensure you know the implications of firewalling / IP blocking in your environment before using this script.\n\n[![BatBar](https://img.shields.io/badge/VIPB-Download%20here!-ff2850?style=flat-square)](https://github.com/simonquasar/vipb/releases/latest)\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n### Automated \u0026 Manual IP Ban\n\n- **Daily Download \u0026 Ban**: Automatically download and process [*IPsum*](https://github.com/stamparm/ipsum/) blacklists every day via `cron` job.\n- **Bulk Ban IP Lists**: Process entire lists of IPs and subnets from a list file.\n- **Manual IP ban**: Ban/unban individual IP addresses on a separate user list.\n- **Simplified Firewall Management**: Safer handling of FirewallD and ipset operations\n- New! v0.9.3 **Log Extractor**: Advanced security event analysis and pattern recognition\n\n### Aggregator: Suspicious IPs to Subnets\n\n- **IP Compression**: Aggregates IP lists into /16 and /24 subnets for efficient security.\n\nThis function analyzes a list of potentially suspicious IP addresses, identifies patterns of repeated activity within subnets, and aggregates them into entire subnets (/24 or /16) based on user-defined tolerance thresholds.\n\n![VIPB Compressor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonquasar/vipb/main/inc/VIPB-compressor.png)\n\n### Firewall Integration\n\n- **Manage ipsets**: Creates and manages `ipset` rules for swift and reliable IP blocking.\n- **Linux Firewall Support**:\n`iptables`\n`firewalld`\n(`ufw` support coming soon)\n- **Fail2Ban**: Works in harmony with `Fail2Ban`.\n\n![VIPB Check\u0026Repair (WIP)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonquasar/vipb/main/inc/VIPB-checkrepair.png)\n\n### Coming soon...\n\n- **xGUI** interface (see git `gui` branch)\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n[![BatBar](https://img.shields.io/badge/VIPB-Download%20here!-ff2850?style=flat-square)](https://github.com/simonquasar/vipb/releases/latest)\n\nEnsure required dependencies are installed and active:\n\n- `ipset` 7.0+\n- `firewalld` or `iptables`\n- `cron`\n- `curl`\n- `bash` 4.0+\n- *optional* `fail2ban`\n\nClone the repository:\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/simonquasar/vipb\ncd vipb\nchmod +x vipb.sh vipb-core.sh\n```\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\n### User Interface\nRun `sudo ./vipb.sh`\n\n![VIPB UI](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simonquasar/vipb/main/inc/ScreenshotVIPB.png)\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e IP lists should be in the same folder and use `.ipb` extension, with one IP per line in [CIDR](https://www.ipaddressguide.com/cidr) notation.\n\n\n### CLI Commands\n\nRun via CLI/cron `sudo ./vipb.sh [args]`\n\n````\n► VIPB.sh (v0.9.4) CLI ARGUMENTS\n\n  ban #.#.#.#               ban single IP in manual/user list\n  unban #.#.#.#             unban single IP in manual/user list\n  download #                download lv #\n  compress [listfile.ipb]   compress IPs list [optional: file.ipb]\n  banlist [listfile.ipb]    ban IPs/subnets list [optional: file.ipb]\n  stats                     view banned VIPB IPs/subnets counts\n  true                      simulate cron/CLI (or autoban)\n  debug                     debug mode (echoes logs)\n\n                            (*.ipb = list of IPs, one per line)\n````\n\n### Logs\n\nAll operations are logged in the script directory.\nDebug mode provides detailed operation logging.\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
