About IP-DB

A safer internet, built on open intelligence

IP-DB tells you in seconds whether an IP address is tied to abuse, and shows the evidence. It combines 44 open threat sources into one score and publishes both the sources and the method.

01What we do

02How it works

  1. 01

    Collect

    44 open sources are fetched every 30 minutes; stale or dead sources are left out automatically.

  2. 02

    Score

    Lists that copy each other count once; independent sources, community reports and DNSBL results are weighted into a 0–100 score.

  3. 03

    Act

    The same verdict reaches the web lookup, the API and the firewall feed, and high-scoring addresses are reported to the network owner.

03Our principles

Evidence, not verdicts

Every score shows the sources and dates behind it. An address that is delisted shows as clean, with its history.

Full transparency

Every source is listed with its licence and freshness, and the system's live health is on a public status page.

A free core

Web lookups are unlimited and need no account; the API is free for 1,000 requests a day.
