Ok a few things about IP blocks
If they are portable they can move from country to country ??
without any real notice.
the ip that triggered all this says it is allocated from NL
(Neatherlands) but physicaly exists in Hawii ?
No list will ever be 100% acurate
I did find this link that displays by country but then you have to click
the country understanding that some sub nets are split out by class "A"
/ "B" & "C"
A whole class "A" for example can be split into many subclasses thus
point difference ranges to different countries.
https://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/
maybe write a python program to grab and make a table of ip addresses ?
it has a link to download a csv so some kind of loop striping out the
country links would probably be ok and then download the csv file and
create a full csv file.
then use that for your firewall keeping in mind it needs to be updated
regularly.
I did look around as arin net is responsible for all of this but could
not find a list there either.
https://www.arin.net/reference/
Airn Net is mainly responsible for allocating blocks but not really
responsible for where they might get used.
same with other whois databases around the globe.
also note IPV6 is also out there now and adds a whole new layer to all
of this.
Have A Happy Thursday !!!

Are there publicly available lists of IP ranges by region?
There's no reason for any IP outside of North America to be contacting
Postfix
on Submission (587) or IMAP, since these are employee only services.
If not for mobile phones, we could really close it off.

Good day to all .....
Just adding to the conversation with how I had to deal with this
years ago.
Basically hacks to any server are an issue today but it is cat &
mouse
trying to track all of this.
That being said using the reported ip address below, I patched
postfix
to log the ip address in one syslog pass (to id the sasl user
account
+
ip etc)
Along with the above dovecot logging is verbose (dovecot already
does
all access in one line - ie ip address, username (email address)
etc)
combining the two I run my own ip address firewall tracking system
based
on the syslogging in real time.
For Example :
__________________________________________________________________________
# ipinfo 104.156.155.21
IP Status for : 104.156.155.21
IP Status : IPv4
NS Lookup (Forward) : 104.156.155.21
NS Lookup (Reverse) : None
IP Blacklisted Status : Found 104.156.155. for
104.156.155.21
[D] {Asterisk}
Last Program : sshd
Ip Location Info for : 104.156.155.21
No Ip Information Found
(ie ip location lookup failed / does not exist for this ip ?)
__________________________________________________________________________
basically the ip address block was found in my firewall so
something,
someone etc has tried to hack one of my servers
in the case of scom.ca i run an asterisk server and since the
asterisk
is noted someone tried hacking that one as well.
Basically i run a database that tracks and updates all firewall in
real
time.
Running FreeBSD I use PF and asterisk is linux based so i use the
iptables and update every 10 minutes.
Only time now a days I get involved if a customer calls and
complains
they are not getting emails etc ...
That happens a few times a year.
Again just an FYI
This reply was more to indicate all email servers (and anything
attached
to the internet) really need to run some sort of automated ip
firewall
when username password hacks occur, no reverse ip address etc
etc etc
Food for thought.
Have A Happy Thursday !!!

Just thought it would be worth mentioning, you might
want to keep an
eye
out for traffic from this company...
Might want to make up your own mind, or maybe someone
has more
information, but enough of a red flag, that thought
it warranted
posting
on the list.
Not sure yet if it is Dovecot, or the SSL libraries
they are
attempting
to break, but using a variety of SSL/TLS methods and
connections...
They are not interested in dovecot per se. They scan for
TLS vulnerabilities,
mostly.
Anyone with more information?

i have some rather old IpToCountry.csv files from a now defunct site. it
mapped IP allocations to country and included the RIR, date assigned,
etc. this data is a few years old as the site was taken down and there
is probably a lot of new or updated info. a GeoDB subscription may be
useful in the case you are looking at.
