New abusers list

Just found another website keeping track of hacker scans.

Hi!

Thanks for posting a link to my website (abuse.ch). Unfortunately the page www.abuse.ch/http-honeypot is outdated.

The lists (abuse.ch HTTP abuser list AND abuse.ch HTTP injection list) has been converted into a DNSBL which is now known as httpbl.abuse.ch.

For more information take a look at http://dnsbl.abuse.ch/faq.php#about_httpbl
Additionaly you can finde a statistical breakdown about the blacklist on http://dnsbl.abuse.ch/httpbl/stats.php

Well a DNS lookup would work with Bad Behavior DNS lookup but most of us have no way to use a DNS lookup server to protect our websites.

Really a move backwards.

I agree with tmaster.
But the problem is (was) that the list is getting to big. If you have 3'000 Blocked ips in your .htaccess file the webserver will lose a lot of perfomance. Another point is that the list doesn't get smaller, it becomes bigger and bigger...

If the need is here, I would serve you the lists as .htaccess file again (With thought in mind that your webserver will lose performance).

For those of you which are running WordPress there is a abuse.ch httpBL check Plugin for WP. You can find it on http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/abusech-httpbl-check/

If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact me. (you will find my email address on http://dnsbl.abuse.ch/)
