     Ok a few things about IP blocks

     If they are portable they can move from country to country ??

     without any real notice.

     the ip that triggered all this says it is allocated from NL
     (Neatherlands) but physicaly exists in Hawii ?

     No list will ever be 100% acurate

     I did find this link that displays by country but then you have to
     click the country understanding that some sub nets are split out by
     class "A" / "B" & "C"

     A whole class "A" for example can be split into many subclasses thus
     point difference ranges to different countries.

     https://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/

     maybe write a python program to grab and make a table of ip addresses
     ?

     it has a link to download a csv so some kind of loop striping out the
     country links would probably be ok and then download the csv file and
     create a full csv file.

     then use that for your firewall keeping in mind it needs to be
     updated regularly.

     I did look around as arin net is responsible for all of this but
     could not find a list there either.

     https://www.arin.net/reference/

     Airn Net is mainly responsible for allocating blocks but not really
     responsible for where they might get used.

     same with other whois databases around the globe.

     also note IPV6 is also out there now and adds a whole new layer to
     all of this.

               There's no reason for any IP outside of North
               America to be contacting Postfix
               on Submission (587) or IMAP, since these are

               If not for mobile phones, we could really close

                     Good day to all .....

                     Just adding to the conversation with how I
               had to deal with this
                     years ago.

                     Basically hacks to any server are an issue
               today but it is cat &
                     mouse
                     trying to track all of this.

                     That being said using the reported ip
               address below, I patched
                     postfix
                     to log the ip address in one syslog pass
               (to id the sasl user account
                     +
                     ip etc)

                     Along with the above dovecot logging is
               verbose (dovecot already does

                     all access in one line - ie ip address,
               username (email address) etc)

                     combining the two I run my own ip address
               firewall tracking system
                     based
                     on the syslogging in real time.

                     For Example :

                    
               
__________________________________________________________________________

                     # ipinfo 104.156.155.21

                     IP Status for                   :
               104.156.155.21

                     IP Status : IPv4
                     NS Lookup (Forward)             :
               104.156.155.21
                     NS Lookup (Reverse)             : None

                     IP Blacklisted Status           : Found

                     [D] {Asterisk}

                     Ip Location Info for            :
               104.156.155.21

                     No Ip Information Found

                     (ie ip location lookup failed / does not
               exist for this ip ?)

                    
               
__________________________________________________________________________

                     basically the ip address block was found in
               my firewall so something,

                     someone etc has tried to hack one of my
               servers

                     in the case of scom.ca i run an asterisk
               server and since the
                     asterisk
                     is noted someone tried hacking that one as
               well.

                     Basically i run a database that tracks and
               updates all firewall in
                     real
                     time.

                     Running FreeBSD I use PF and asterisk is
               linux based so i use the
                     iptables and update every 10 minutes.

                     Only time now a days I get involved if a
               customer calls and complains

                     they are not getting emails etc ...

                     That happens a few times a year.

                     Again just an FYI

                     This reply was more to indicate all email
               servers (and anything
                     attached
                     to the internet) really need to run some
               sort of automated ip
                     firewall
                     when username password hacks occur, no
               reverse ip address etc etc etc


                     Food for thought.

          i have some rather old IpToCountry.csv files from a now
          defunct site. it mapped IP allocations to country and
          included the RIR, date assigned, etc.  this data is a few
          years old as the site was taken down and there is probably
          a lot of new or updated info.  a GeoDB subscription may be
          useful in the case you are looking at.

the info i have is the ARIN, APNIC, etc registry (RIR) info about where the
allocation was made, but does not go to the next layer about
who the allocation was made to.

dn: ipNetworkNumber=104.0.0.0,c=US,ou=GeoLocation,dc=bpk2,dc=com
description: /12
ipnetmasknumber: 255.240.0.0
ipnetworknumber: 104.0.0.0
l: United States
objectclass: ipNetwork
objectclass: top

i am not sure how often things change in terms of allocations moving from geo
location, but i could see that who the allocations are made to could
move more frequently.

the csv i downloaded had the CIDR notation in the allocation.  example:

"0","16777215","iana","410227200","ZZ","ZZZ","Reserved"

through a bash script, i converted that to ldif:

dn: ipNetworkNumber=0.0.0.0,c=ZZ,ou=GeoLocation,dc=bpk2,dc=com
ipnetworknumber: 0.0.0.0
ipnetmasknumber: 255.0.0.0
l: Reserved
description: /8
objectclass: ipnetwork
objectclass: top

and added it to my DIT for reference.  if i could use the info for geofencing
in my firewall, i would but the integration between tools does not exit.
would be nice.

arin in only on RIR, and has allocated 57,609 of the total 162,988 records in
the csv i have.  having the data from the other RIRs helps with a more
holistic view of all allocations.  i do have a IPv6 version of the csv, but
have not parsed that yet.  some questions about how i would store the IPs
come to mind, and never got answered.
