Why Choose This Project

In cybersecurity, blocking malicious IPs proactively is essential to prevent attacks such as brute force, phishing, DDoS, or botnet activity. Maintaining and updating IP blocklists manually is inefficient and error-prone. This project provides a dynamic system that automatically fetches, updates, and distributes IP blocklists in real-time, ensuring that firewalls, web applications, and security tools always have the latest threat intelligence.

What You Get

A web-based platform that allows security administrators to manage and monitor IP blocklists. The system supports automatic updates from multiple threat intelligence feeds, real-time synchronization across systems, and alerts when suspicious IPs are detected. It also provides an admin dashboard to view trends, statistics, and update history.
