A blocklist of botnet IPs, based on the **Botnet C2 IOCs** of Abuse.ch [Feodo Tracker](https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/blocklist/#iocs), including online and offline entries. Blocklist is updated twice a day.

This blocklist is only useful as a last line of defence _after_ being infected. To avoid infection in the first place, consider using [urlhaus-filter](https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter).

## IP-based

I highly recommend to use the upstream version (update every 5 minutes): [online+offline](https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/downloads/ipblocklist.txt) or [online only](https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/downloads/ipblocklist_recommended.txt).

## IP-based (Vivaldi)

_Requires Vivaldi Desktop/Android 3.3+, blocking level must be at least "Block Trackers"_

## Domain-based (AdGuard Home)

## dnscrypt-proxy

Save the rulesets to "/etc/dnscrypt-proxy/". Refer to this [guide](https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/malware-filter/wikis/update-filter) for auto-update.

Configure dnscrypt-proxy to use the blocklist:

```diff
[blocked_ips]
+  blocked_ips_file = '/etc/dnscrypt-proxy/botnet-filter-dnscrypt-blocked-ips.txt'
```

## Snort2

I highly recommend to use the [upstream version](https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/blocklist/#ip-ids) which is updated every 5 minutes.

Save the ruleset to "/etc/snort/rules/botnet-filter-suricata.rules". Refer to this [guide](https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/malware-filter/wikis/update-filter) for auto-update. Snort 2, 3 and Suricata use the same ruleset for this blocklist.

Configure Snort to use the ruleset:

`printf "\ninclude \$RULE_PATH/botnet-filter-suricata.rules\n" >> /etc/snort/snort.conf`

## Snort3

I highly recommend to use the [upstream version](https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/blocklist/#ip-ids) which is updated every 5 minutes.

Save the ruleset to "/etc/snort/rules/botnet-filter-suricata.rules". Refer to this [guide](https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/malware-filter/wikis/update-filter) for auto-update. Snort 2, 3 and Suricata use the same ruleset for this blocklist.

Configure Snort to use the ruleset:

```diff
# /etc/snort/snort.lua
ips =
{
  variables = default_variables,
+  include = 'rules/botnet-filter-suricata.rules'
}
```

## Suricata

I highly recommend to use the [upstream version](https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/blocklist/#ip-ids) which is updated every 5 minutes.

Save the ruleset to "/etc/suricata/rules/botnet-filter-suricata.rules". Refer to this [guide](https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/malware-filter/wikis/update-filter) for auto-update. Snort 2, 3 and Suricata use the same ruleset for this blocklist.

Configure Suricata to use the ruleset:

```diff
# /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml
rule-files:
  - local.rules
+  - botnet-filter-suricata.rules
```

## Splunk

A CSV file for Splunk [lookup](https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Knowledge/Aboutlookupsandfieldactions).

Either upload the file via GUI or save the file in `$SPLUNK_HOME/Splunk/etc/system/lookups` or app-specific `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/YourApp/apps/search/lookups`.

Or use [malware-filter add-on](https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/6970) to install this lookup and optionally auto-update it.

Columns:

| ip      | message                          | updated              |
| ------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| 1.2.3.4 | botnet-filter botnet IP detected | 2022-12-21T12:34:56Z |
