Wildcat! now includes a Geo Location IP database for looking up client connection world locations based on their IP address. This is a big security boost for filtering, blocking and reducing annoying internet connections from various areas of the world.
The CD installed or the AutoUpdate system will place the database in your "DATA\" subfolder:
data\wcgeoup.mmdb
This database was created by http://www.maxmind.com. It is their free version. SSI will update the database as required with future updates.
Wildcat! installs *cmd-connect.wcx hook modules that will monitor your TELNET, FTP, SMTP and POP3 connections.
maincmd-connect.wcx checks telnet IP address
popcmd-connect.wcx checks pop3 IP address
smtpcmd-connect.wcx checks smtp IP address
ftpcmd-connect.wcx checks ftp IP address
A new folder cmdhooks\ contains the setup:
cmdhooks\connect.ini enable/disble the filters
cmdhooks\access.ini black/white and country codes access list
The following are hook modules setup files allowing you to prepare running more than one WCX module:
cmdhooks\ftpcmd-connect-hooks.txt
cmdhooks\popcmd-connect-hooks.txt
cmdhooks\smtpcmd-connect-hooks.txt
cmdhooks\maincmd-connect-hooks.txt
cmdhooks\maincmd-checkloginname-hooks.txt
Backup examples of the *.ini and *.txt are placed in the cmdhooks\examples folder.
Each cmdhook\*-connect-hooks.txt are prepared to run the wc:\cmdhooks\bin\wcgeoip-checkip.wcx module to check the IP address. The exception is maincmd-checkloginname-hooks.txt which is prepared to run wc:\cmdhooks\bin\wctnd-checkloginname.wcx. This wcx is a stub (does nothing) but it is designed to check Telnet login names, To make this work, it requires MAP's wcTND.WCX application to be installed.
