10 First, get the IP addresses...
11
12 [d531][waltdnes][~] nslookup s3-1.amazonaws.com
13 Server: 208.67.222.222
14 Address: 208.67.222.222#53
15
16 Non-authoritative answer:
17 Name: s3-1.amazonaws.com
18 Address: 54.231.1.0
19
20 [d531][waltdnes][~] nslookup secure.informaction.com
21 Server: 208.67.222.222
22 Address: 208.67.222.222#53
23
24 Non-authoritative answer:
25 Name: secure.informaction.com
26 Address: 82.103.140.40
27 Name: secure.informaction.com
28 Address: 82.103.140.42
29 Name: secure.informaction.com
30 Address: 69.195.141.179
31 Name: secure.informaction.com
32 Address: 69.195.141.178
33
34 With that info in hand, add the following at the top of your iptables
35 "OUTPUT" chain...
36
37 -A OUTPUT -d 69.195.141.178/31 -j DROP
38 -A OUTPUT -d 82.103.140.40/30 -j DROP
39 -A OUTPUT -d 54.231.1.0/32 - j DROP
40
41 The first one drops 69.195.141.178 and 69.195.141.179. The second one
42 drops 82.103.140.40, 82.103.140.41, 82.103.140.42, and 82.103.140.43.
43 The third one drops 54.231.1.0.
44
45 The Amazon cloud service covers 54.230.0.0/15. If s3-1.amazonaws.com
46 is "dynamic", you may have to block that entire range.
47
48 For those of you who are interested, I'm attaching a copy of my
49 /var/lib/iptables/rules-save which is tweaked for my LAN. Note the
50 following...
51 * this is a paranoid ruleset for general client end-users only. It will
52 *NOT* work for a server
53 * the 192.168.x.y addresses are for my internal LAN
54 * the 169.254.0.0/16 range is for my HDHomerun OTA TV tuner
55 * "the "FECESBOOK" rules block Facebook, coming and going. Firefox
56 spins its wheels for several seconds "Connecting to facebook.com",
57 before giving up.
