Greetings all - This is just a quick note to alert the FreeBSD development community that I've posted a review for the import of the NetBSD "blacklist" project into FreeBSD. The reviews for the basic import and hookup of the blacklist system into the build process are here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D5912 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D5913 The rational behind the system is given in the first referenced review, which is Christos Zoulas' presentation at vBSDcon 2015. I think the system is a very reasonable framework to allow for real-time notification of attacks, feeding to a single daemon process, which maintains a persistent on-disk database. The daemon can then invoke a helper script to affect packet filtering changes as needed. It's driven from a text configuration file, and it is pretty easy to add support to more programs in the future. Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to any discussion about the merits of the system and the patches to implement it in FreeBSD. Thanks. -Kurt
