  • IP2Location Support

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Mon Apr 29 17:26:06 2019
    Hi

    I just added support to Magicka to work with a database called
    IP2Location.

    It adds 2 lua functions you can use in your scripts:

    bbs_ip_address

    will return the ip address as a string.

    bbs_ip_info

    will return the countrycode, country, region and city of the ip address.

    I've included a sample login_stanza_ipdata.lua (which should be renamed
    to login_stanza.lua if you want to use it..)

    The data base isn't included in magicka git, as zipped up it's about 60Mb (unzipped about 250Mb)

    You can download a prepared sqlite3 database here:

    https://magickabbs.com/index.php/source-code

    This site or product includes IP2Location LITE data available from http://www.ip2location.com.

    You will need to add the location of the database into the paths section
    of your bbs.ini

    eg:

    IPData Database = /home/andrew/MagickaBBS/ipdata.sq3

    if you don't want to use it, just comment that out or don't put it in
    your ini file :)

    I should also mention, that I haven't tested ipv6 support. It should
    work, but I can't test :(

    Doesn't ZT use private IPs?

    I'm adding this to the checklist of things to do eventually. I need to
    get Magicka onto the new 64bit vm I've been trying to do for over a year
    LOL.

    Yes, but they are IPv6 and IPv4 IDs, so anybody "connected" to the same ZT interface can communicate with your interface...

    Yeah, but private ips wont resolve in the database to a specific
    city/country etc.

    Ahh, I was thinking you were wanted to test TCP connectivity! Argh, sorry, my bad...

    Actually, I've wanted to figure out how GeoIP can be taught about
    local/private IP resolution. I know it can be done, but I just dont know how.

    IE: When I get a connect from fd00:...2:64:0, I want it to return "Hub 2" instead of unknown.

    Have you looked at this? Is it easy?

    I'm not using GeoIP, rather IP2Location, which is just a database, so you
    could just add / modify it.
