Sephiroth

A Python3 script to build cloud block lists for servers.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

Setup

Python

It is recommended to install sephiroth into a virtual environment. From a brand new Ubuntu 18.04 machine, the setup flow should look something like this:

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip && python -m pip install pipenv
mkdir sephiroth && cd sephiroth
pipenv install sephiroth

You can also get the always-latest updates by cloning directly from the repository.

git clone https://github.com/0xdade/sephiroth.git
cd sephiroth
pipenv install .

Docker

Alternatively, we provide a Dockerfile with build and run instructions, or you can fetch the latest version from dockerhub:

docker pull 0xdade/sephiroth
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app/output sephiroth -s nginx -t gcp

Usage

Sephiroth provides a built in help menu through the use of Python's argparse library. It tells you which commands are required, as well as other options.

sephiroth on  master [!] on 🐳 v19.03.12 via sephiroth via 🐍 3.8.3
➜ sephiroth --help
usage: Sephiroth [-h] -s {nginx,apache,iptables,ip6tables} -t {aws,azure,gcp,oci,asn,file,tor,do,linode,cloudflare} [-a ASN] [-f FILENAME] [-r REDIR_TARGET] [-p] [--no-ipv6] [--compacted] [-V]

Sephiroth is made to help block clouds.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s {nginx,apache,iptables,ip6tables}, --server {nginx,apache,iptables,ip6tables}
                        Type of server to build blocklist for
  -t {aws,azure,gcp,oci,asn,file,tor,do,linode,cloudflare}, --target {aws,azure,gcp,oci,asn,file,tor,do,linode,cloudflare}
                        Targets to block
  -a ASN, --asn ASN     ASN to block in AS#### format
  -f FILENAME, --file FILENAME
                        Files to block addresses from
  -r REDIR_TARGET, --redir REDIR_TARGET
                        Place to redirect requests to. (apache)
  -p, --proxy           Using PROXY Protocol? (nginx)
  --no-ipv6             Exclude ipv6 addresses from the block list where applicable
  --compacted           Compact neighboring cidr ranges. This produces smaller file sizes but loses detail about each range.
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit

Example

sephiroth on  master [!?] on 🐳 v19.03.8 via sephiroth took 7s
➜ sephiroth -s nginx -t asn -a AS15169 -a AS31337 -t aws
(asn) Fetching IP ranges from api.hackertarget.com for 2 ASNs
(aws) Fetching IP ranges from Amazon
Your nginx blocklist for asn, aws can be found at output/2020-06-07_002847_nginx_asn_aws.conf

Please add this line to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf before the Virtual Host Configs.

        include /mnt/c/Users/dade/Desktop/sephiroth/output/2020-06-07_002847_nginx_asn_aws.conf;

Then you can use the $block_ip variable in your site config like so:

        if ($block_ip) {
                return 302 https://example.com;
        }

Supported Servers

• nginx - Makes use of nginx's ngx_http_geo_module which comes with the nginx package in Ubuntu 18.04. Optionally supports the use of proxy_protocol, in the event that you are using a PROXY-enabled redirector.
• apache - Generates a mod_rewrite rule set to do conditional redirects based on cloud ip ranges. Does not (to my knowledge) support proxy_protocol usage. Requires -r REDIR_TARGET for the RewriteRule
• iptables - Generates a set of iptables DROP rules to block access from listed IPv4 ranges.
• ip6tables - Generates a set of ip6tables DROP rules to block access from listed IPv6 ranges.

Supported Providers

While Sephiroth began as a cloud blocking script, it became apparent that there were plenty of other sources of ip addresses that might be useful, and so we expanded. This is the list of currently supported providers.

• aws - Amazon Web Services. Obtained via the documented download process.
• azure - Azure Cloud. Fetched via a two part process. Fetch the html of the download page and then parse the html to get the failoverLink anchor tag. That JSON is then downloaded.
• gcp - Google Cloud Platform. Fetches the cloud.json as documented via the docs.
• oci - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Fetched via the documented download process
• asn - Lookup IP ranges by ASN. Uses Hackertarget API to make fetching results painless. Limited to 100 ASN lookups per day per source IP.
• file - Read line-separated list of addresses from one or more files. Lines that begin with # are ignored and lines that contain a # after the address save the comment into the output.
• tor - Fetch the bulk list of Tor exit nodes from the torproject.org website and add them to the list.
• do - Digital Ocean. Fetched from google.csv as documented on the Platform page.
• linode - Linode. Fetched from geoip.linode.com
• cloudflare - Cloudflare. Fetched from documented API
