Chris Blankenship's Ramblings

I recently came across another DNS blacklist service called DroneBL which is similar to Project HoneyPot’s HTTP Blacklist Service.  I decided to create a .NET helper class module that would allow anyone to incorporate this service into their own .NET application.  Fortunately I was able to reuse a lot of the code from a similar helper module I wrote for Project HoneyPot’s service.  Here’s a description from the DroneBL website:

Do you have problems with net-abuse on the services you run? DroneBL is the first tracker aimed at solving the problems of abuse on real-time and near-real-time social networks. It is not just another email blacklist (although you can use it for that!), but instead a mostly distributed, friend-to-friend DNSBL service, with the goal of becoming fully distributed by the end of 2007.

I have included a sample website to provide a working example of how to use the module.  If your interested in leveraging this service for your .NET application you might find this module useful.  Feel free to ask for any help if something doesn’t work right or you need additional help.
