IP Ranges in the permanent ban list

[Mardeg]

Ok only noticed this after having ptokax running for a long time now. If I double-click on the permanent ban list I get a dialog asking "Nick IP or Partial IP to ban:" and found out I can add things like  "150.101.*" (example only) and anything in that range will be banned.

I know banning 65355 possible combinations of IPs is drastic and have only used it on very rare occasions where a particularly persisent user just won't give up. I only wish this function was possible in the tempban list.

btw, how can IP ranges like this be added via a script? I tried

local _,_,iprng = strfind(user.sIP,"(%d+%.%d+%.)%d+%.%d+")
iprng = iprng.."*"
user:Ban(iprng)

but that didn't work, and typing

!banip 150.101.*

only returns syntax error by hub security.

I think that could b a idea for next ptokax public beta.

I use this IP Range Script by Phatty

--//RangeBlaster v2.07 by Phatty
--//IP Keys written by John, and Phatty

Bot = "Bot_name" 

Ranges = {} 

function Main() 
	frmHub:RegBot(Bot)
	LoadIps()
end 

function LoadIps()
	local tmp = 0
	local handle = openfile("Ranges.dat","r")
	line = read(handle)
	while line do
		tmp = tmp + 1
		local s,e,ipr1,ipr2 = strfind(line,"(%S+)|(%S+)")
		if ipr2 == nil then
			SendToAll(Bot,"Error on line "..line)
		end
		local s,e,ipa1,ipb1,ipc1,ipd1 = strfind(ipr1, "(%d*).(%d*).(%d*).(%d*)") 
		local s,e,ipa2,ipb2,ipc2,ipd2 = strfind(ipr2, "(%d*).(%d*).(%d*).(%d*)")
		si1 = CheckNumber(ipa1)..CheckNumber(ipb1)..CheckNumber(ipc1)..CheckNumber(ipd1)
		si2 = CheckNumber(ipa2)..CheckNumber(ipb2)..CheckNumber(ipc2)..CheckNumber(ipd2)
		Ranges[si1] = si2
	line = read(handle)
	end

end

function Blocked(userip) 
	local s,e,range1,range2,range3,range4 = strfind(userip,"(%d+).(%d+).(%d+).(%d+)")
	checker = CheckNumber(range1)..CheckNumber(range2)..CheckNumber(range3)..CheckNumber(range4)

	--SendToAll(Bot,"IP-Test..."..checker)

	for i,p in Ranges do 
		local s,e,xstart = strfind(i, "(%d*)") 
		local s,e,xend = strfind(p, "(%d*)")
	
		if checker > xstart and checker < xend then
			collectgarbage()
			flush()
			return 1
		else
		end
	end	
end

function CheckNumber(number)
	numbera = tonumber(number)
	if numbera < 10 then
		numbera = "00"..number
	elseif numbera < 100 then
		numbera = "0"..number
	else
		numbera = number
	end
	return numbera
end

function DataArrival(user,data)
	if strsub(data, 1, 8) == "$Version" then
		if Blocked(user.sIP) == 1 then 
			user:SendData(Bot, "IP - Range Banido no LusoBrasil Hub.") 
			SendToOps(Bot, "? OP MSG ? Usu?rio(a): "..user.sName..", com o IP: ["..user.sIP.."] foi desconectado do Hub, motivo: IP - Range Banido.") 
			user:TempBan() 
			user:Disconnect() 
		end
	end
end

Make a file in scripts dir/ "Ranges.dat"
