# Abuser Database Format

The file format of the IP to Abuser Database is either in CSV or MMDB format and contains the following fields:

• ipVersion - Either 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6), determining the IP type of the network.
• startIp - The start IP address of the range in string format. Example: 45.86.210.31
• endIp - The end IP address of the range in string format. Example: 45.86.210.31
• isAbuser - A boolean value indicating whether the IP is known for abusive behavior. Example: true

The following example contains a small excerpt of the entire database:

startIp,endIp,ipVersion,isAbuser
1.10.16.0,1.10.31.255,4,true
1.19.0.0,1.19.255.255,4,true

# How to use the IP to Abuser Database?

This example shows how to work with the IP to Abuser Database in MMDB format. First, you have to download the database sample:

curl -O https://ipapi.is/data/samples/Abuser-Database-Sample.mmdb

And then you can read the database with mmdbctl:

mmdbctl read -f json-pretty 1.2.189.13 Abuser-Database-Sample.mmdb

which outputs:

{
  "ipVersion": "4",
  "isAbuser": "true",
  "network": "1.2.189.13-1.2.189.13"
}

# Why is Abuser Detection Important?

Abuser detection is the process of identifying IP addresses that are known for malicious or abusive behavior. It is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of online services.

There are many good reasons why websites or apps want to detect abusive IP addresses:

• Prevent spam and unwanted automated activities
• Protect against DDoS attacks
• Reduce the risk of fraud and malicious activities
• Improve overall security of online services
• Maintain the quality of user experience for legitimate users

# How does Abuser Detection Work?

Abuser detection involves various methods to identify IP addresses associated with malicious activities. These methods may include:

• Historical Data Analysis: Examining past behavior and patterns associated with IP addresses.
• Real-time Monitoring: Continuously tracking IP activities for suspicious behavior.
• Machine Learning Algorithms: Using AI to predict and identify potentially abusive IP addresses based on various factors.
• Collaborative Databases: Sharing information about known abusive IP addresses across multiple platforms and services.

By utilizing these methods, the IP to Abuser Database provides a comprehensive list of IP addresses that have been identified as potentially abusive, helping you protect your online services more effectively.
