Re: IP reputation lookup (prefix not single IP)

I think you will find that most SMTP / anti-spam focused RBL tools give a
very similar result for IP reputation on a per /24 block basis, for any
randomly chosen IP in the block, particularly where the /24 in question has
previously been used and announced by a dedicated server/VPS/virtual server
hosting company.

Hello all,

I’ve seen other folks asking the same/similar question in the past, but I
don’t recall seeing more than a few options out there to *try* to suss this
out.  Use case is someone I’m working with looking to buy a v4 block from a
broker.

So far I’ve checked Talos and Sorbs (both allow a prefix lookup).  Most of
the other RBL/multi-RBL sites want a single IP (the use case being email of
course).  I won’t abuse their service by trying to lookup each single IP in
the block...

Could anyone share anything/anywhere else I might look to get crumbs of
info on a given preifx ?

Thanks.
