NAME

rc.dbtarpit - dbtarpit controller

SYNOPSIS

  rc.dbtarpit start
  rc.dbtarpit stop
  rc.dbtarpit restart
  rc.dbtarpit pass
  rc.dbtarpit drop

DESCRIPTION

This script controls the dbtarpit daemon.

  rc.dbtarpit start     - start the dbtarpit daemon
  rc.dbtarpit start -T  - print configuration and exit

  rc.dbtarpit stop      - stop the dbtarpit daemon

  rc.dbtarpit restart   - stop then start the daemon

Note: packets to the port handled by the daemon WILL BE DROPPED when the daemon is not present.

  rc.dbtarpit pass      - pass all packets

  rc.dbtarpit drop      - drop packets found 
                        in the tarpit database
                        do not tarpit them

  rc.dbtarpit help      - print help and exit

  rc.dbtarpit debug     - print command line and exit

DBTarpit command line arguments can be passed directly to the daemon by invoking rc.dbtarpit with the options on its command line. Some options of interest:

Pass all packets, do not tarpit, but do collect 'archive' data

  rc.dbtarpit start -a

Do not tarpit, just drop connections (packets) for IP's found in the 'tarpit' database:

  rc.dbtarpit start -x
