Security Basics: RE: Country based IPs

["Matthew F. Caldwell" <mattc () guarded net>]

Dale and Jbod, 

        If you want a database download you can request it from ARIN,
it's a difficult to parse format (to prevent spammers). HERE is the form
have fun!

http://www.arin.net/library/agreements/bulkwhois.pdf

As part of our product neuSECURE, we maintain a database of all known
netblocks from the sources ARIN, APNIC, RIPE, etc. The data is refreshed
on a regular basis. We use this data to allow better macro correlation
in our product.  You can create rules that specify if you see something
from a particular country,block,and ranges it can perform actions
including block it at the firewall, email me, create a ticket etc.

  Such a list would be difficult to create and impossible to
maintain. Netblocks are allocated from one of the four regional
sources, ARIN, RIPE, APNIC and a new one in Latin America, based on
the location of the requester, but could be used anywhere in the world.
