    I want to block the ip address in an odd range like from
    88.147.196.0 - 88.147.253.255

    I know that if I want to block 88.147.196.0 to 88.147.196.255 then I can use 88.147.196.0/24 to block this range but how do I block above range? What is the mask I need to use..

    Using .htaccess you can block it following way:

    deny from 88.147.196/253

    Not sure about blocking ip range using IPtable.

/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s 88.147.196.0/88.147.253.255 -j DROP
    Code (markup):
    should do it.
