Peerguardian Ips!

[BlizZ]

I was on the Peer Guardian IP Database so I could copy and paste IP's onto my Peer Guardian block list.

Is there an easier way to do this? Theres like hundreds of them, Is there a way to get more than one IP ranges all at once?

Cuz Im a little tired of spending 60 seconds per IP range. :o

Does anyone have suggestions?

1. Go to http://www.simply-click.org/uploadertest/p...2_plaintext.asp (http://www.simply-click.org/uploadertest/pg2_plaintext.asp).
2. Copy the list to your clipboard
3. Open the Guardian.p2p file with Notepad
4. Select all and delete
5. Paste new list from clipboard
6. Close and save
7. Restart Peer Guardian and your done

It seems this is the most up to date list and never has duplicates.
It also seems to be th quickest.
I usually update twice a week.

You can actually just download the file as Guarding.p2p and place it in your peerguardian folder. When it asks if you want to over-write the existing one say yes.

Very quick and simple to do.

Odd, every time I tried that I got a file named
'guarding[1].p2p.update.asp', not Guardian.p2p.

I figued out you could just rename the asp file to Guardian.p2p qnd it works fine.

Though at this vey moment..

The ASP file has
344 Ranges with 52 million IP's.

While the Plain Text has
477 Ranges with 70 million IP's.

Makes me wonder which is more current. Though the higher number in the Plain Text has more IP's, some of the newer entries may be bad entries along with good. Personally I will stick with the PlainText.

To each their own.

I still think that the privacy patch and using a proxy are the best protection anyway.

Get it at http://xs.tech.nu. Then go to PG2 Database and then get all the ips you want. Just click on the company you want your ip blocked from and it will be automatically put it peer guardian. Restart it and it'll show up.

The ASP file with 344 Ranges with 52 million IP's is the better bet reality- it just has the ranges that got more thumbs up than thumbs down on votes

@ reality, thanks a lot :D

How do they get those IP addresses anyway? :huh:

[dingdongding]

the simplest way is to do domain searches for registered ranges- yesterday i had luck doing wildcard searches on arin (eg- baytsp* ) and was surprised to find a bunch that weren't on the recommended list- there are also sophisticated methods that take more time... the problem right now us ppl think they're detectives or something- they get port scanned by someone and then they get the range which could be huge- an isp or a school and then add it to the database which is plain stupid- ppl are forgetting it's an anti p2p database... automatic port scans happen all the time

Thanks everyone for your help. :-)

Yeah foreal, I wonder where they get them at.....

I didn't think that the search for songs was so extensive... :o

but thanx for the good info for stopping them (and maybe others). now it takes hardly any time to update the datebase! :ph34r:

Well this is a tiny bit off topic, but what do most people think a apporiate agression level for a 56ker is? Right now I have it set on 40 should I go higher or lower? I am scared if I put it onto 100 that my connection won't be able to handle it and downloads will never finsh.

a note from meth of the aggression scale:
meth
15-JUN-2003 14:27:50 aggression settings.. it's more of a backup in case the normal blocking manages to miss a connection. The aggression is cyclic check. At 10%, the TCP table is checked once every 100ms, at 100% the TCP table is checked every 10ms.

it's better to import the ips into your firewall than use pg...
