github friendly-bits/geoip-shell v0.8.3

6 hours ago

This is another small bugfix release, fixing a particular issue when using geoip-shell on older Busybox-based systems which include a buggy Busybox hexdump implementation.

Specifically: BusyBox v1.31.1 is affected, BusyBox v1.36.1 (and probably later versions) is not affected. Non-Busybox hexdump implementations are not affected.

Since geoip-shell v0.8.0, by default the random number of seconds to delay geoip-shell start when called by a cron job is fetched from /dev/urandom via hexdump, so with the the buggy hexdump implementation, automatic IP list updates would get delayed by a very big number of seconds, rather than 0-60.

This condition is now automatically detected and geoip-shell will now fall back to an alternative method to fetch the random number.
