What is an Indicator of Compromise (IoC)?

IoC or Indicator of Compromise is a clue or a piece of evidence that suggests the presence or occurrence of a cybersecurity incident or compromise. It can be used to identify and investigate malicious activities. By identifying and monitoring IoCs, organizations can implement security measures to detect and block known threats, strengthen their defenses, and respond swiftly to potential security incidents.

Our threat data feeds include five types of indicators of compromise:

1. IP addresses

Harmful or known malicious IP addresses linked to malicious actors, command and control (C2) servers or botnets. We support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Daily export includes about 1M of IP addresses. These IoCs are included in the following export files:

A. Malicious IPv4/IPv6 address data feeds

Files included:

• *.malicious-ips.v4.csv.gz
• *.malicious-ips.v4.jsonl.gz
• *.malicious-ips.v6.csv.gz
• *.malicious-ips.v6.jsonl.gz

Output formats available:

• CSV
• JSON

B. Raw IPv4/IPv6 denylists

Files included:

• *.deny-ips.v4.gz
• *.deny-ips.v6.gz

Output formats available:

• List

2. CIDRs

CIDR is a Classless Inter-Domain Routing notation for IP addresses that enables more effective use of IP addresses and routing. A CIDR notation has an IP address followed by a slash and the number of bits of the network prefix, such as 192.0.2.0 / 24. A CIDR notation can also show a range of IP addresses, such as 66.10.5.0 / 27, which covers 32 IP addresses from 66.10.5.0 to 66.10.5.31.

Daily export includes about 1.1M of CIDRs. These IoCs are included in the following export files:

A. Nginx’s ngx_http_access_module compatible IPv4/IPv6 denylist

Files included:

• *.nginx-access.v4.gz
• *.nginx-access.v6.gz

Output formats available:

• ngx_http_access_module compatible. Includes IPv4 and IPv6 ranges in CIDR notation.

4. URLs

Harmful or malicious URLs that may be used for phishing attacks, drive-by downloads, or other web-based threats. Includes both full and partial URLs. Daily export includes about 1.1M of URLs. These IoCs are included in the following export files:

5. File hashes

Unique cryptographic values (MD5, SHA-1) that identify specific files. These hashes can show known malicious files, such as malware programs or compromised system files. Daily export includes about 700,000 of file hashes. These IoCs are included in the following export files:

A. Malicious file hashes data feed

Files included:

• *.malicious-file-hashes.csv.gz
• *.malicious-file-hashes.jsonl.gz

Output formats available:

• CSV
