Configuration

1. Run bash install.sh to set helpful aliases and enable logging
2. Configure "config" in a text editor to add firewall address(es), authentication, & any other applicable options such as:

• add multiple firewalls to configure them all simultaneously
• configure email alerting to be alerted when an IP is blocked or un-blocked
• whitelist IPs that you never want to get blocked
• optional logging feature for audit capability

blockip
The "blockip" script is designed to quickly block a host by simply providing the IP address.
Just type blockip and then the ip address that you want to block.
Example usage:

# blockip 12.34.56.78
[-] (firewall01) Added IP '12.34.56.78' to firewall group 'Deny_All_Group'

removeip
This script works in the same way as blockip, except it removes an IP block from the firewall. It can be used to quickly "undo" a block made by blockip.
Example usage:

# removeip 12.34.56.78
[-] (firewall01) Successfully removed IP '12.34.56.78' from firewall group 'Deny_All_Group'

Dependencies
"paramiko" must be installed for this program to run. To install paramiko, try running "pip install paramiko". On Macs, you may have to install a version of Python that has "pip". To do this, you can use either easy_install or homebrew (run "sudo easy_install pip" or "brew install python")
