So it is my guess than the source of these blacklist is shared among providers, so having two simply means an overlap of problably 98% of the blacklisted IP's. malware domain list) and sharing the KNOWN bad IP's. So set this nearly 5 billion IP addresses against the average unique fingerprints an AV has and the magnitude of the IP black list challenge becomes clear.įor malware fighters, DNS networks and AV-companiers this magnitude is the force behind sharing and making publicly available (e.g. Some researchers claim that are nearly 700 websites for every person on earth, so the IPv4 standard which facilitates 4294967296 addresses nears its end of life cycle. This is all grey box reasoning, so I could very well be wrong, but it is my 2 cents that with Norton DNS and Google's phising protection allready on board, there is not much security gained by adding K9, Panda's blacklist, Bitdefender Traffic Light, Linkscanner and or Mcfee SiteAdvisor. So it is my guess than the source of these blacklist is shared among providers, so having more simply means more overlap of the blacklisted IP's. Only app installations from verified stores, like Google Play Store and your device manufacturer’s app store, are. It flags, or even blocks you from downloading, files that may be harmful. So set this nearly 5 billion IP addresses against the average unique fingerprints an AV has (say 4 million) and the magnitude of the IP black list challenge becomes clear.įor malware fighters, DNS networks and AV-companiers this magnitude is the force behind sharing and making publicly available (e.g. Safe Browsing on Chrome protects 4 billion devices against risky sites, and Advanced Protection performs even more stringent checks before each download. They are encrypted and stored in the server (Google for Chrome, Microsoft for Edge, and Mozilla for Firefox). Depending on these advanced mechanisms an AV has somewhere between 2 to 6 million fingerprints in its blacklist data base (smaller is better IMOįor websites there are some common exploits and intrusion techniques which can be determined at visits, but most of the protection power comes from 'raw' IP blacklists. The passwords arent stored in the browser.
