[RESOLVED] List format: CIDR #1

Closed Bundy01 closed 4 years ago

Bundy01 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I don't know if it's possible with your list but my P2P client only allows lists in CIDR format.

Are you considering this format?

Regards.

Since I have boat-loads of free time now - for obvious reasons - this is definitely a format I'll look into making part of my regular update routines for the repo. Will explore this over the next few days.

Okay, Thank you very much and take care of yourself.

No problem. I use lists in CIDR notation to block suspicious connections when I stream via icecast or shoutcast, so I'm familiar with the format. It's simply a matter of how feasible it is to translate my existing P2P block lists to CIDR, or compile a CIDR format list from alternate sources. Though block lists for P2P applications are not as popular as they once were, I have been meaning to make some improvements to the ones I maintain for this repo. So this request was at-least a nice reminder to get on that.

With a little bit of sed magic, a couple of lines of perl, the split utility, and an old public domain CLI tool, your request has become a reality. The P2P block lists I maintain are quite large, so I had to improvise a bit in order to speed up the process of converting those lists to CIDR notation, but it all worked out. There are now two CIDR-format block lists:

The CIDR-format lists are now part of my regular update scripts for this repo, so they will be updated at-least once every other week. They're compiled from the same sources that the other two P2P / BitTorrent block lists are, though I may change or add to those sources in the future. Either way, enjoy.
