How to update your domain blacklist file daily with a cron job

[Christophe]

I propose a cron job to update your lists from your blacklist provider.
From zentyal it's difficult to update these blacklist, each week you have to :
- connect in VNC to your serveur (
- download an updated blacklist from FF
- create a new blacklist
- set the rules
- delete the old blacklist

it's really tiring....

I'm not sur if it's enought for dansguardian, but i wrote this :

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
#
# File /etc/cron.daily/dansguardian_blacklists
#
# download and update each day blacklists from UT1.

wget ftp://ftp.univ-tlse1.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz -O /etc/dansguardian/extralists/$filterprofile$/blacklist.tar.gz
tar zxvf /etc/dansguardian/extralists/$filterprofile$/blacklist.tar.gz -C /etc/dansguardian/extralists/$filterprofile$/archives/$description$/
       chmod 0775 /etc/dansguardian/extralists/$filterprofile$/archives/$description$
       chown -R root:root /etc/dansguardian/extralists/$filterprofile$/archives/$description$
       service squid restart

hello,

do you use this script,
Is it stil working?

[J. A. Calvo]

Yes, I completely agree that updating this manually is really tiring. That's why on commercial editions of Zentyal this gets done automatically, not only for the proxy blacklists, also for anti-spam, antivirus, IDS rules...

Hi,

A little update of this script for Zentyal 3.5 and Squid 3

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
#
# File : /etc/cron.daily/blacklist
#
# Change the name of your category name : CAT_NAME
# See it in https://{ZENTYAL_IP}/Squid/View/CategorizedLists
CAT_NAME="Blacklist"

DIR="/var/lib/zentyal/files/squid/categories/${CAT_NAME}"

wget ftp://ftp.univ-tlse1.fr/pub/reseau/cache/squidguard_contrib/blacklists.tar.gz -O ${DIR}/blacklist.tar.gz
tar -xvf ${DIR}/blacklist.tar.gz -C ${DIR}/
rm $[DIR}/blacklist.tar.gz
chmod -Rfv 755 ${DIR}
chown -Rfv root:ebox ${DIR}

service squid3 restart

don't forget : chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/blacklist
