🔧 Configuration

1️⃣ Set Up Authentication

Before using inhibitor_tool, you must configure authentication credentials in ~/.auth_token and load them into the environment:

echo 'export USERNAME="mmwei3"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export PASSWORD="mmwei3password"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export LOGIN_URL="https://auth.example.com/token"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export INHIBIT_URL="https://inhibitor.example.com/add"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export REMOVE_URL="https://inhibitor.example.com/remove"' >> ~/.auth_token
echo 'export LIST_URL="https://inhibitor.example.com/list"' >> ~/.auth_token

source ~/.auth_token

💡 Important: The source ~/.auth_token command must be executed every time a new session is started.

🚀 Usage

2️⃣ Inhibit an Item (Default TTL: 3 hours)

inhibitor-tool add --content "MaliciousIP:192.168.1.1"

3️⃣ Specify a Custom TTL

inhibitor-tool add --content "MaliciousIP:192.168.1.1" --ttl 6
