Integration Details

ThreatQuotient provides the following details for this integration:

Introduction

The Project Honey Pot CDF enables analysts to automatically ingest IP Addresses related to spammers, harvesters, attackers, and more into ThreatQ.

Project Honey Pot is a distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses from your website. Project Honey Pot tracks IPs that are known to be used by spammers, harvesters, and other malicious actors. These IPs are then used to generate a blacklist that can be used to block malicious traffic.

The integration provides the following feed:

  • Project Honey Pot - pulls IPs from the Project Honey Pot RSS feed based on the specified ip_type.

The integration ingests IP Address type indicators.
