This is a cron-service that blocks all Tor users from accessing your server. Made for
systems that support iptables.

The cron-service.sh script accepts an arbitrary number of arguments. Each argument is
a port number that you want query for Tor IPs to block. You must specify at least one.

The code was derived from:
   http://www.brianhare.com/wordpress/2011/03/02/block-tor-exit-nodes-using-bash-script/

If you are unfamiliar with cron, perhaps read about it:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

Note:
  The script must be run as root. On Ubuntu, if you add it to your crontab as root
  with ``crontab -e``, it is necessary to prefix the command with "sudo", for some
  reason.

Note:
  The script analyzes the 'eth0' network interface to obtain your IP address, which
  is required to query the tor bulk exit list. If your network interface is not
  'eth0' (perhaps you are running on wlan0, eth1, avian0), then edit the script.
