BLACKLISTCTL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual BLACKLISTCTL(8)
NAME
blacklistctl - display and change the state of blacklistd
SYNOPSIS
blacklistctl dump [-abdnrw]
DESCRIPTION
blacklistctl is a program used to display the state of blacklistd(8)
The following options are available:
-a Show all database entries, by default it shows only the embryonic
ones.
-b Show only the blocked entries.
-d Increase debugging level.
-n Don't display a header.
-r Show the remaining blocked time instead of the last activity
time.
-w Normally the width of addresses is good for IPv4, the -w flag,
makes the display wide enough for IPv6 addresses.
SEE ALSO
blacklistd(8)
NOTES
Sometimes the reported number of failed attempts can exceed the number of
attempts that blacklistd(8) is configured to block. This can happen
either because the rule has been removed manually, or because there were
more attempts in flight while the rule block was being added. This
condition is normal; in that case blacklistd(8) will first attempt to
remove the existing rule, and then it will re-add it to make sure that
there is only one rule active.
HISTORY
blacklistctl first appeared in NetBSD 7. FreeBSD support for
blacklistctl was implemented in FreeBSD 11.
