Linux – Howto use ipset and iptables on Ubuntu 12.04 to block lots of IPs

iptableslinuxUbuntu

I would like to use this tutorial:
http://www.jsimmons.co.uk/2010/06/08/using-ipset-with-iptables-in-ubuntu-lts-1004-to-block-large-ip-ranges/

In Ubuntu 12.04 the package ipset-source is removed from the repository I guess that's why I only get an error when I try installing it like this:

apt-get install module-assistant ipset
m-a a-i ipset

How would I do that in Ubuntu precise?

I think you do something wrong. That article is not up to date because it's about 10.04 LTS. Now you can just issue 

sudo apt-get install ipset

I've just installed ipset on my 12.04 without any problem. Take a look at my install log https://gist.github.com/3720382
