## Infohash Blacklisting/Whitelisting Middlewares
|
|
|
|
This package provides the middleware `infohash_blacklist` and `infohash_whitelist` for blacklisting or whitelisting infohashes.
|
|
It also provides the configurable scrape middleware `infohash_blacklist` and `infohash_whitelist` for blacklisting or whitelisting infohashes.
|
|
|
|
### `infohash_blacklist`
|
|
|
|
#### For Announces
|
|
|
|
The `infohash_blacklist` middleware uses all infohashes stored in the `StringStore` with the `store.PrefixInfohash` prefix to blacklist, i.e. block announces.
|
|
|
|
#### For Scrapes
|
|
|
|
The configurable `infohash_blacklist` middleware uses all infohashes stored in the `StringStore` with the `store.PrefixInfohash` prefix to blacklist scrape requests.
|
|
|
|
The scrape middleware has two modes of operation: _Block_ and _Filter_.
|
|
|
|
- _Block_ will drop a scrape request if it contains a blacklisted infohash.
|
|
- _Filter_ will filter all blacklisted infohashes from a scrape request, potentially leaving behind an empty scrape request.
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: This mode **does not work with UDP servers**.
|
|
|
|
See the configuration section for information about how to configure the scrape middleware.
|
|
|
|
### `infohash_whitelist`
|
|
|
|
#### For Announces
|
|
|
|
The `infohash_blacklist` middleware uses all infohashes stored in the `StringStore` with the `store.PrefixInfohash` prefix to whitelist, i.e. allow announces.
|
|
|
|
#### For Scrapes
|
|
|
|
The configurable `infohash_blacklist` middleware uses all infohashes stored in the `StringStore` with the `store.PrefixInfohash` prefix to whitelist scrape requests.
|
|
|
|
The scrape middleware has two modes of operation: _Block_ and _Filter_.
|
|
|
|
- _Block_ will drop a scrape request if it contains a non-whitelisted infohash.
|
|
- _Filter_ will filter all non-whitelisted infohashes from a scrape request, potentially leaving behind an empty scrape request.
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: This mode **does not work with UDP servers**.
|
|
|
|
See the configuration section for information about how to configure the scrape middleware.
|
|
|
|
### Important things to notice
|
|
|
|
Both blacklist and whitelist middleware use the same `StringStore`.
|
|
It is therefore not advised to have both the `infohash_blacklist` and the `infohash_whitelist` announce or scrape middleware running.
|
|
(If you add an infohash to the `StringStore`, it will be used for blacklisting and whitelisting.
|
|
If your store contains no infohashes, no announces/scrapes will be blocked by the blacklist, but all will be blocked by the whitelist.
|
|
If your store contains all addresses, no announces/scrapes will be blocked by the whitelist, but all will be blocked by the blacklist.)
|
|
|
|
Also note that the announce and scrape middleware both use the same `StringStore`.
|
|
It is therefore not possible to use different infohashes for black-/whitelisting on announces and scrape requests.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
The scrape middleware is configurable.
|
|
|
|
The configuration uses a single required parameter `mode` to determine the mode of operation for the middleware.
|
|
An example configuration might look like this:
|
|
|
|
chihaya:
|
|
tracker:
|
|
scrape_middleware:
|
|
- name: infohash_blacklist
|
|
config:
|
|
mode: block
|
|
|
|
`mode` accepts two values: `block` and `filter`.
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**: The `filter` mode **does not work with UDP servers**. |
