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).
Import the link into uBO's filter list to subscribe.
## IP-based (AdGuard)
Import the link into AdGuard browser extension to subscribe.
## IP-based (Vivaldi)
_Requires Vivaldi Desktop/Android 3.3+, blocking level must be at least "Block Trackers"_
Import the link into Vivaldi's **Tracker Blocking Sources** to subscribe.
## 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 |
## htaccess
In Apache configuration, add `AllowOverride All` to each ``, then add .htaccess to each site directory.
## Compressed version
All filters are also available as gzip- and brotli-compressed.
