bash-whitelist

This is a simple whitelist bash script for linux. It uses dig, to find the IP of a domain, checks to see if it's already in a text file using grep, and if not adds it. Useful, in situations like, if you're running a Mystic BBS and you want to add your network hubs to your allowlist.

Installing

git clone https://github.com/BigFunnyGiant/bash-whitelist # clone the repository
cd bash-wwhitelit
cp whatismyip.sh /usr/local/bin

or copy it to somewhere you like, maybe in the PATH so you can execute it from anywhere. Remember to check the permissions as well.

Usage

Edit the script, and for the WHITE_LIST_FILE variable, put the path to the text file.
