I'm reporting the bots that have visited to abuseipdb once per day, but yeah, there should be a free alternative. You aren’t the first person to have asked for this.
It would be trivial to write out a file that people can grab for free. What do you think would make the most sense? Plain text file, one ip per line, of offending ip’s within the last month? Or year? Or a .csv with the dates included? Generally I’m a big fan of simplicity.
Plain text file one IP address per line works for me. Simplicity for the win.
Within the last month is probably enough. If I was consuming it, I'd add each monthly list to a database so I can build up my own 12-month (or whatever time frame suits me) list over time.
Or, publish one list for the last month and one list for the last 12 months.
Keep up the great work!
OK - thanks for the excellent suggestion. It's now implemented (just two SQL queries that will run as a cron job every night). You can grab the month and year offending ip blacklists this way.
