Blocking IP Address's in IIS

bluestreak101 · 3 Jun 2008 at 10:27

Hi,

I've been given the task of adding IP address's to the block list in IIS but the list of IP ranges I have is huge! and tapping each one into IIS is taking far too long. Now what I want to know is, is there a file some where i can basically copy and paste all the address's I have and save the file?

Thanks

Bill

No.

The way IIS is set-up, is all done in the metabase. I have no idea if metabase explorer will allow you direct access to a "list" as it were, and thus allow you to copy and paste the information in, but even if it does, beware. Metabase Explorer can quite easily kill your IIS install.

In that case I wont be doing that, such a pain though, theres not even an option to import a blocking list.

I assume these IP addresses are completely disjointed and not in a continuous "range" (e.g. 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254)?

Well it is a list of ranges, not single IP's. here is a small sample:

61.14.180.64 61.14.180.127
61.14.188.0 61.14.188.127
61.14.189.0 61.14.189.63
61.14.190.0 61.14.190.127
61.14.190.192 61.14.191.127

I found a program called IPIIS does anyone have any experiance of this. Im not too keen on installing it without knowing what its like.

Got a link?

The fact that searching for "IPIIS" doesn't immediately come up with the application in a google search, but instead information about a virus for ipiis.dll does, doesn't fill me with confidence.

Sorry it was meant to be IISIP

Well I would assume that it was written for IIS7. That is not to say it won't work on IIS6, but I certainly wouldn't try it on a live environment first, and even if I did, I'd backup the metabase!
