A blocklist of botnet IPs, based on the Botnet C2 IOCs of Abuse.ch Feodo Tracker, 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.

There are multiple formats available, refer to the appropriate section according to the program used:

• uBlock Origin (uBO) -> IP-based section (recommended)
• Pi-hole -> Domain-based or Hosts-based section
• AdGuard Home -> Domain-based (AdGuard Home)
• AdGuard browser extension -> IP-based (AdGuard)
• Vivaldi -> IP-based (Vivaldi)
• dnscrypt-proxy
• Snort2
• Snort3
• Suricata
• Splunk

For other programs, see Compatibility page in the wiki.

dnscrypt-proxy

Save the rulesets to "/etc/dnscrypt-proxy/". Refer to this guide for auto-update.

Configure dnscrypt-proxy to use the blocklist:

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

Snort2

I highly recommend to use the upstream version which is updated every 5 minutes.

Save the ruleset to "/etc/snort/rules/botnet-filter-suricata.rules". Refer to this guide 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
