In preparation of the August 2023 feed changes, Infoblox recommends the following rule action changes to your feed policy rules.
...
| title | Alert |
|---|
New feed recommendations: It is recommended that you do the following regarding the new feeds:
- Add Suspicious Domains with one of the policy actions to Block.
- Add Suspicious Lookalikes with one of the policy actions to Block.
- Add Suspicious NOED with one of the policy actions to Block.
The following table includes the list of feeds that we will be retiring:

Bot-IP

...

...
IP addresses are frequently reused for multiple sites, and blocking the ones associated with such systems ran the high risk of inadvertent blocking (I.E. False Positive). Many indicators here could be blocked in other ways, so the source is blocked in other similar feeds, making this redundant.

The curation process for these feeds (I.E. removing false positives) frequently left these feeds empty. The ones that remained are present in other feeds, making these feeds redundant.

The recommended rule actions are for reference only. They represent the results of lab testing in a controlled environment focused on individual protocol services. Enabling additional protocols, services, cache hit ratio for recursive DNS, and customer environment variables will affect performance. To design and size a solution for a production environment, please contact your Infoblox Solution Architect. |
