Step 1, install geoiplookup sudo apt-get install geoip-bin Step 2, for i in `cat list` ; do ( echo -n $i" " ; geoiplookup $i ) ; done | grep -v "South Africa" This basically will let you look up who they are and ignore IPs from home country, in this case South Africa. Once you decide which countries are likely to be hackers (Hello, former soviet bloc!) - then you block their IPs.

 As I block botnets IP addresses I will put them here for yall to block as well. Botnet file list
