🛡️ shield-trigger-iptables — bestie edition ✨

okay so welcome to the manual page for shield-trigger-iptables (the file itself is named shield-trigger-iptables(8), section 8, System Manager's Manual, and yes we're all gonna be normal about that 💅).

🌸 NAME 🌸

shield-trigger-ufw — the lil program that hangs out with the pam_shield PAM module and handles the ip blocking situation. no cap, that's literally its whole job description.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

shield-trigger-ufw [add|del] <IP number>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕: this is a program that manages the ip blocks for the pam_shield PAM module, and it does it via the "uncomplicated firewall", aka ufw(8). iconic of it honestly.

shield-trigger-ufw is normally called by the pam_shield PAM module — like, it's not out here seeking the spotlight, it's the backstage crew of your auth stack. it does NOT run itself, the PAM module rings it up. iykyk. 🫶
