Hello everybody,

First of all: Thanks for the great work! I think NfSen is a very usefull
tool!

I have created a small plugin for nfsen which I want to share. I am not
sure if this is the right place to post it. Please tell me if its not.

ABOUT THE PLUGIN:

NfSen-BlacklistIP is an alert-condition-plugin for nfsen. The goal is to
fire an alert each time a connection from, or to a blacklisted ip
address is recognized, where the list of unwanted ip addresses is
maintained by hand and more or less static.
When the alert is fired, related connections become visible
in the plugins frontend. This information can be used for further
filtering.

BlacklistIP is not a replacement for the botnet-plugin, the goal is
completely different. If you want to compere these two, you can think of
BlacklisIP to be the younger and less intelligent brother of the
botnet-plugin :)

I am running both of them:
The botnet-plugin is automaticaly updated from security sites. The
blacklist for the blacklistip-plugin is maintained by hand. It contains
a short list of ip addresses which is updated about once in two weeks
(as soon as I get new IPs to blacklist).

I created the plugin because I thought it would be less work to create
a new plugin than to change the botnet-plugin in a way that it can
perform both tasks (passing botnet-connections to the events-plugin and
directly reporting blacklisted connections) at the same time.

The plugin is distributed under BSD license and can be downloaded here:
http://public.thiemeier.net/download/nfsen-blacklistip-0.1.tar.bz2

For more information about the plugin and how to install it, take a look
at the README file or at my homepage:
http://public.thiemeier.net/blacklistip/index.html

The site is still under constructions, but basic info and downloads are
available.

Comments and suggestions are very welcome!

kind regards, Lukas Thiemeier
