THE PLONKATRONIX TEAM
Programming since 1981, founded later in 1999, the plonkatronix team was established after a drunken night discussing the then newly born internet, said plonka's into electronix decided it was a good idea to buy a domain!
Life and plans change, 26 years on the web site remains and has found good use transforming into something that one hadn't imagined back then, the project started to get my own back on the hackers due to the inability to legally "hack back".
The plonkatronix team proudly holds over 75 years of combined electronics, mechanical and programming experience, together we make happens out of stuff.
Plonkatronix also maintains a free public list of bad IP addresses that you can use to help block the nasty pasties from ruining your day.
(*)FREE FOREVER... Unless one the following apply:
◈ I drop dead (estimated 20+ years remaining)
◈ Electric becomes unaffordable to power the 12Kw daily consumption.
◈ Our level 3 goes offline!!!
◈ Unless someone pays me a lot of money to switch off!
◈ Unless a respected conflicting security company head hunts me
◈ Most importantly... if you abuse this service
Project: FAQ
What is plonkatronixBL?
- A FREE list of IPv4 addresses that have in the past been marked as bad for various reasons.
Why is my IP on this list?
- The IP has been involved in one of the following... SYN, (D)DOS, Poisoning, Injection, Script-kiddies, Spamming, Bot's not following rules, auto sign-up forum bots, knocking the door and running away (I hate that) or maybe you are just a nasty pasty.
I have not tried any of the above attacks so why is my IP on this list?
- You chose to be hosted in the cloud, some IP addresses host thousands, sometimes millions of websites and domains. You should choose your host very carefully, this is where our list comes in, if the IP is listed here then you made a bad move, my advice is to research your host before you move to them.
Do plonkatronix offer any paid for services?
- No, unless in the interest of UN or UK security AND if it's just our brain's you wish to tap into!
Do you offer an API?
- Not at this moment in time, we simply supply a public list for free. LINK
Do you offer any private lists?
- No. refer to question No.4
Do we offer a IPv6 list?
- No. (there are limits on what is free in this world)
What is the IP addresses drop-off period?
- very rarely are they removed, and there is no drop-off, however they do rotate each year.
Will no drop-off break loads?
- most probably, eventually this will reveal a small map of clean IPv4 ASN's, which is a rare thing in this day and age thus highly valued.
Removal Request:
Here you may submit an IP removal request, proof of ownership must be provided along with valid acceptable reason, each request will be examined and if deemed a false positive or much time has passed and new IP ownership is proven and you seek to clean then it may be removed.
Some IP's are shared, for example... if you are hosted in the cloud, you might not be responsible for the cause of becoming listed and other people could have caused this, in which case we will not remove the offending IP.
I advise you to do your own research to establish if you are on a shared system before contacting us, and to also check if you are listed else where, this will give you a good indication as to if you are using a shared IP address, as many of you don't even know this.
You MUST enter the IP address in question in the form SUBJECT below, without specifying the IP address your request will be ignored.
Please note, we do not blacklist domains, if your domain is hosted behind a blacklisted IP then you made a bad choice of host, find another ISP!, do not waste my and your time asking me to unblock your domain,

NEWS:
This year the Plonkatronix blacklist project celebrates it's 25th birthday, that is a long time! pretty impressive in the world of security.
The project started out living on just one small server and has since then grown and transformed into occupying several racks.
In the early days there were a few errors and false positives picked up but these issues were soon ironed out and are no longer present,
in fact there have been none at all for the past few years which makes this project very useful to many people.
In today's world of cyber security and threats we have many serious big player's using this service, this cements the bond and eliminates the doubts that people may have to the reliability of the project.
We look forward to working with these companies and will continue to provide for the foreseeable future.
A huge thank you goes out to those who have donated to the project and hope they continue to do so to help keep this service free.
