Overview

AbuseIPDB is a project dedicated to helping combat the spread of hackers, spammers, and abusive activity on the internet.


AbuseIPDB’s mission is to help make the internet a safer place by providing a central blacklist for webmasters, system administrators, and other interested parties to report and find IP addresses that have been associated with malicious activity online.


With AbuseIPDB Transforms, you can discover information about IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses, such as abuse score, IP usage type, hostname associated with the IP, Country, and ISP Details.


Don't miss our blog article, The Power of AbuseIPDB is now in Maltego, where we walk you through AbuseIPDB data and illustrate how to use the AbuseIPDB Transforms in Maltego to speed up investigations involving suspicious IP addresses.
