linblock.pl is a Perl script that automatically downloads a list of IP address ranges that are to be blocked, and installs them into the Linux kernel using the iptables interface. The script is intended to give Linux users the easy and automatic blocking that Windows users enjoy with programs such as PeerGuardain or Protowall. The intended audience for this script are BitTorrent tracker administrators who wish to use the "antip2p" blocklist to deny access to undesired parties.
