UBLE - UTAN Ban List Editor

[ARsEnAl51]

Why UBLE ?
UTAN being down for an undetermined amount of time, server admins can't edit their servers' ban list. And since not all admins have been able to retrieve a list of their bans from UTAN's site before it was taken down, they either have to remove UTAN's ban manager from their servers (thus losing all their bans) or to stick with it and a frozen set of bans as the data is not stored in a human readable format. One may be able to retrieve the whole list by parsing the UTAN Ban Manager's logs if one kept all of them since the beginning, but it's a rather lengthy/tedious process.

What is UBLE ?
The UTAN Ban List Editor is here to allow server admins to add, modify, and remove bans from their servers. If they wish to simply drop UTAN's ban manager, it also allows them to export these bans so they can be used directly into the server's configuration file.

System Requirements :

• Operating System : Windows XP is strongly recommended, but it should run on Windows 2000 as well as Vista and 7. Earlier versions are not supported (it may work on these, but if it doesn't, not my problem). Mac and Linux are not supported.
• Required Runtimes and Softwares : .NET Framework 2.0, Windows Installer

Installing the .NET Framework 2.0 (x86) and Windows Installer (28 MB) *click me* :

• instmsia.exe : Windows Installer 2.0, you don't need to install it if you have Windows 2000/XP/Vista
• WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe : Windows Installer 3.1, you don't need to install it if you have Windows 2000/XP/Vista or you use Windows Update religiously. Windows Installer 3.1 is needed to run the setup package.
• dotnetfx.exe : The .NET Framework 2.0 is needed to run the program, so install it if you don't already have it on your computer. After installing the framework, go to Windows Update, and download the lastest security updates for the framework.
• langpack.exe : This is the french language pack for the .NET Framework. In theory, it's not needed on client computers. I'm putting it here just in case.

Installing UBLE
Download either UBLE zipped MSI Package (225 KB) or UBLE MSI Package (417 KB), then run uble-setup.msi. Choose the installation folder, install... A shortcut will be placed on your desktop.

Uninstalling UBLE
Why would you want to do that? Oh well, Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> UTAN Ban List Editor -> Remove

Using UBLE
Open UBLE and you'll see the instructions in the textbox on the right along with thanks and other stuff.



When exporting bans, don't forget to choose which information you wish to export (GUIDs, GUIDs and IPs, GUIDs and IP-ranges) via the filter list. This feature has been temporarily disabled in the current version.

The rest should be rather straightforward

Known bugs/limitations, planned features

• A list of recently opened ban lists is planned.
• Re-enabling the export feature in the next release.

The full source code will not be released. Parts of the code related to the core functionalities may however be released at a later date.

Can you add UTAN bans with it for every server which uses the UTAN system? O.o

[ARsEnAl51]

Nope. You can mark bans as global if you want to, but they won't magically spread across the internet to other servers.

Thats better, else everyone would abuse it.

A new version (1.3) has been released. Download it from the links in the first post.

What's new? I fixed minor bugs here and there and I rewrote a huge part of the GUI so that it consumes less memory resources (it could take up to 100MB under XP and up to 500MB under Vista/Seven, now it should take less than 40MB on both platforms).

The retail versions of Vista and Seven are now supported. Under those OSes you have to disable themes for this application to display properly. I'm still working on a fix for this.

Version v2.0a up'ed.

Bug fix: UBLE should now run properly on a VM and/or on a computer with an integrated GPU.
New feature: UTAN Ban Manager v1.04 (not yet released) supported.
New feature: Filtering now supports IP range via CIDR notation (IP.IP.IP.IP/CIDR).

 CIDR = 00 -->> *.*.*.*
 CIDR = 08 -->> XXX.*.*.*
 CIDR = 16 -->> XXX.XXX.*.*
 CIDR = 24 -->> XXX.XXX.XXX.*
 CIDR = 32 -->> XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

If you're not comfortable using the CIDR notation, you can type an asterisk in one of the IP byte fields, and it will automatically update the CIDR field accordingly and will show you which range will match the filter. To apply the filter, press the Apply Filter button. To remove any GUID/IP filtering, press the Clear Filter button.
Disabled feature: the Export feature has been disabled for now but should be back for the next version.

No known bugs for now.
