IP Block Lists Myths and Misconceptions
Over the years we have heard all kinds of false and incorrect information posted around the net regarding the use of blocklists as a [ non ] reliable form of protection against a wide range of threats.
This has led to the development of many common misconceptions among many users.
Some of this false information may be part of a deliberate campaign to discredit the blocklists and their maintainers, or an attempt to trick people into lowering their defences by convincing people they are either more at risk or wasting their time.
While in some cases the false information has been outright fabricated lies intended to do damage, it also seems that a lack of technical knowledge mixed with extremely poor research simply results in bad and incorrect information being spread with no attempt to seek out the actual facts.

If you would like to help support our blocklist research efforts, and various free software applications we have now been providing for over 5 years, please consider making a donation .
Other ways you can contribute is to actively particpate on the BISS forums , start to actively monitor your own network connections. We encourage people to report anything suspicious or check with us about any network connections / internet traffic you are unsure about.
The more people who take an active interest in their own internet security helps to discover new threats a lot faster and with a much more widespread level of monitoring leaves the organisations and individuals who threaten the safety of all internet users with nowhere to hide.
Donations in the form of server space/bandwidth is also much needed and appreciated to help share the enormous load of providing our IP blocklists to millions of people each day. Please contact an administrator on the BISS forums if you think you can help in this area.
