The TTL for our data is 2-3 days so you can be fairly confident that it is up to date.

That's cool, but I get a new IP every 12 hours so it's still not enough to determine if I'm part of a botnet or I just got stuck with someone else's poisoned IP

Spur's residential proxy data is not intended to be used as a blacklist. We recommend using it as enrichment alongside other signals, not blocking an IP just because it was associated with proxy activity.

More on why here: https://spur.us/blog/i-dont-like-big-gateways-and-i-cannot-l...

SpamHaus is using it as a large contributor to their blocklists, at times as the sole signal, just so you know.

thanks, that was exactly my point. Residential proxy signal's value is almost 0 but this product moves in the "I solve it all for you" price range.

I added a warning that should help with this now.

Yes. You can use https://spur.us/context/<ip> where the IP is the one you want to lookup.

Which proxy network(s) did you get tagged in?

Try https://spur.us/context/<ip> where <ip> is the IP you want to query :)

Thanks! Do you plan on a paid plan? Would you be able to provide methodology under NDA if needed?

(cyber consultant, have people who might use this for enrichment in security stacks)

Some info on methodology would be necessary for a paid plan for two purposes, one to audit that the quality of the methodology and the signal is good (it's not hallucinated or checking few sources).

But also to make sure it doesn't clash with other signals if used in conjunction with other sources of tool (if I have another signal, I want to know whether they are redundant or complementary, to avoid interpreting two positives as independently verified.

You don't necessarily have to flash a custom firmware. Rooting the TV and killing the ad processes is usually sufficient.

Indeed, many of these TVs serve ads by default on their screensavers and home screens.

The experience with this is so much better. Hacking most Tuya based devices has become extremely easy when you use https://docs.libretiny.eu/ Replacing MyQ with ratgdo was one of the best IoT decisions I have ever made.
