GeoLite - George - 2020-02-05
GeoLite (SQLite)
It is based on the free product GeoLite2 by MaxMind.
I was updating the country database every month for MySQL and decided to update the GeoIp databases by Whitetiger's include as many people requested. It turned out I was unable to, the way the databases were structured. I converted my version to SQLite and started comparing the two includes with geolite.inc being victorious. But this was to be expected with not only the good database structure and the use of indexes but also the appropriate queries to avoid range scans. Even though latest database provide more data than last year, it did not affect the performance in any way.
The past days, I managed to import Autonomous System (AS) and City databases with the original databases having big flows.
- Certain organizations in Autonomous System list did have many unique identifiers (ASN - Autonomous System Number) registered to IANA. All duplicates were removed and kept only their initial ASN.
- Certain ip ranges in City database:
- did not provide a city name. Country name was used in replacement.
- did not provide a city name, nor a country name. Continent name was used in replacement.
- did not provide a city name. Country name was used in replacement.
The above issue arose another problem related to time zones.
- Antarctica, Asia and Europe have time zone set as :00
- Cities with country name as replacement have central standard time set mostly, with few exceptions. Some examples are:
- United States is set to have UTC -05:00 (Washington, DC) whereas Central Standard Time is in Chicago (-06:00)
- Russia is set to Moscow Standard Time (:00)
- United States is set to have UTC -05:00 (Washington, DC) whereas Central Standard Time is in Chicago (-06:00)
I initially posted these changes and improvements in Whitetiger's thread but due to their absence, I decided to create a new thread. I was also unaware if Whitetiger would accept the changes, nor how the updates would be done.
Installation
Repository: https://github.com/George480/geolite
Releases: https://github.com/George480/geolite/releases
Include: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/George480/geolite/master/geolite.inc
Save as geolite.inc into pawno\include folder. Include in your code and begin using the library:
Code:
#include <geolite>Place the database you want to use into scriptfiles folder.
Functions
IP-Based Functions:
- GetIpAutonomousSystem(const geolite_ip[], geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the Autonomous System organization (ISP is an Autonomous System) according to given IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the Autonomous System organization (ISP is an Autonomous System) according to given IP, passed by reference.
- GetIpCountry(const geolite_ip[], geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the Country name according to given IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the Country name according to given IP, passed by reference.
- GetIpCity(const geolite_ip[], geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the City name according to given IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the City name according to given IP, passed by reference.
- GetIpUTC(const geolite_ip[], geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the UTC offset according to given IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the UTC offset according to given IP, passed by reference.
- IsIpProxy(const geolite_ip[])
- Requires country database.
- Returns 1 if the given ip is public proxy otherwise 0. It will also return 0 if database file does not exist in scriptfiles folder.
- Requires country database.
- GetPlayerAutonomousSystem(playerid, geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the Autonomous System organization (ISP is an Autonomous System) according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder and player is connected) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the Autonomous System organization (ISP is an Autonomous System) according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- GetPlayerCountry(playerid, geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the Country name according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder and player is connected) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the Country name according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- GetPlayerCity(playerid, geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the City name according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder and player is connected) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the City name according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- GetPlayerUTC(playerid, geolite_dest[], geolite_len = sizeof (geolite_dest))
- Stores the UTC offset according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- Returns 1 on success (database file exists in scriptfiles folder and player is connected) or 0 on failure.
- Stores the UTC offset according to given player's IP, passed by reference.
- IsPlayerUsingProxy(playerid)
- Requires country database.
- Returns 1 if the ip of the given player is public proxy otherwise 0. It will also return 0 if database file does not exist in scriptfiles folder.
- Requires country database.
Usage
Code:
#include <a_samp>
#include <sscanf2>
#include <geolite>
main() {}
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
? ? new player_name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], player_country[MAX_COUNTRY_LENGTH], connection_text[80];
? ??
? ? GetPlayerName(playerid, player_name, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
? ? GetPlayerCountry(playerid, player_country, MAX_COUNTRY_LENGTH);
? ? format(connection_text, sizeof (connection_text), "%s joined from %s", player_name, player_country);
? ? SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFF00FF, connection_text);
? ? return 1;
}Extra Notes
127.0.0.1 is given as "Unknown" as it is a private IP.
Country, City and ASN databases will be updated every first Wednesday of every month.
It opens the databases on startup according to which database exists in scriptfiles folder, therefore if you prefer to use the Country database only, place maxmind_country.db into scriptfiles folder and not the other two databases.
It only detects public proxies and not VPNs.
A MySQL version would require non-threaded queries to keep the same usage of functions. If you have any suggestion, please inform me.
Constants:
Code:
#define MAX_AUTONOMOUS_SYSTEM_LENGTH? ? 95
#define MAX_COUNTRY_LENGTH? ? ? ? ? ? ? 45
#define MAX_CITY_LENGTH? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?64
#define MAX_UTC_LENGTH? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 7Requirements
