Background
There are many suspicious domains on the internet. In an effort to identify them, as well as false positives, we have assembled weighted lists based on tracking and malware lists from different sources. ISC is collecting and categorizing various lists associated with a certain level of sensitivity. We would like to acknowledge the following data sources:
- www.abuse.ch - SpyEye and ZeuS Trackers
- www.malwaredomains.com
- www.threatexpert.com
A suggested use of these lists is as input file for Guy's domain sinkhole project.
Thank you to handler Jason Lam for developing this project! This page is still experimental and evolving. We will be adding more data sources over time. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
Lists By Level
The lists below categorize domains as a guide to Low, Medium and High Levels of Sensitivity.
- The lower the sensitivity, the fewer false positives.
- Lists are based on ranges so they will overlap at each level.
