ZapBL

ZapBL is a project focused on analysis of new and emerging internet threats, primarily tracking bad actors based on IP address. We have a few hundred systems deployed which currently collect data on attacks and correlate this into our DNS based blacklist. This list can then be queried in anti-spam and security systems to provide reputation information and the owners of those systems can choose how to use this data.

The project started in 2007 and is something I am very passionate about. I want to expand on the features and make it even more powerful! There is so much data that can be collected from the current systems we run (including in future open source agents you can run too). I would love to correlate attacks on systems (probes on ports ... etc, by analyzing firewall logs), spam reporting via web interface , rich live reporting to IP block owners and providing you a view of attacks on your systems. All free of charge!

By joining my exclusive community you get the ability to voice your say into the features I implement. I'm always up to discuss your specific use case and see how my project can help in achieving your goals.

Let me introduce myself, I'm Nigel -- nice to meet you :), I'm an open source and security fanatic and obsessive compulsive software developer. By obsessive, I mean OBSESSIVE! I started programming when I was 7yr on a Commodore 64 and have not stopped since. I am glued to my pc between 18 to 20 hours a day (no jokes!) and have been so for the better part since 16 years of age when I started working on carrier software solutions. My dream in life is to have my ZapBL project flourish to a point I can stop stressing about income and dedicate all my time to creating amazing and useful features that helps the Internet community.
