About BadBot.net

BadBot.net (BadBot Gateway) is a platform for tracking abusive IP addresses. It aggregates reports from our own deployed sensors around the world, applies time-decayed scoring, and exposes a simple API and minimal UI for security and operations teams.

  • Reports abuse with standardized categories and severities
  • Query reputation: score, activity timeline, and category summary
  • High‑risk feeds (JSON/CSV/TXT) for easy integration with firewalls and SIEMs
  • Correlation across indicators via ASN and sensors
  • Enrichment with ASN/WHOIS and passive DNS

Use the search on the home page to look up an IP or domain or explore related indicators under “Correlate”.

Developers can start with the API Documentation for authentication, example requests, feeds, and OpenAPI links.

BadBot.net is maintained and developed by Rick Hoekman.

This product includes GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from maxmind.com.
