How to block AS numbers??

Hi
A lot is asking about facebook.com and the easy way is blocking AS numbers.

If we could extract the IP's from a DB then pfblocker could be made to do that...
It does it allredy on geoIP level defined by countries.
How much work would it be??

Yeah.
Right.
They even started to auto block themselves. It wasn't AS, most kids became BGP experts in one evening. -

@cool_corona Just create an alias - use it how ever you want..

Initially, this didn't work for me.
The IP I used was 157.240.20.15, an IP from the 157.240.0.0/17 network, member of the AS32934.
I switched from the to coffee : nothing helped.Then :
I'm using IPv6 - facebook uses IPv6. .... (slam head).
After creating a 'AS32934' entry on the IPv6 tab, and reloaded of pfB.
I didn't need to test ..... some one was already yelling in the building ....
It's 17h08 : I'm off to home - I'll keep this one for the night ;) -
This AS filtering works pretty well.
Dono if it's perfect, but looking at the cheer number of firewall rule hits overnight, it did block a lot.
I have to remove it now, as people start to look in my direction.Found this on the forum :
whois -h whois.radb.net -- '-i origin AS32934' | grep ^route | grep -v route6 | cut -d" " -f7 > /var/www/block_lists/facebook.txt
