// Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key that you generate
https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/blacklist?plaintext&limit=65000&confidenceMinimum=100&key=db413d60408bd4cba20840285402385sdjfasjdpu09374934gsdfg99de1f

You can see the view the login failure daemon download the block list under Logs -> LDF log

Block list entries are stored in the /var/lib/csf/ directory. Note: CSF will optimize downloaded blocklists so if another blocklist already has the same IP address then it will not be included. To view the number of entries for a blocklist on the command line:

# wc -l /var/lib/csf/csf.block.ABUSEIPDB 
74140 /var/lib/csf/csf.block.ABUSEIPDB

AbuseIPDB Free vs Paid Plans

The free plan blocklist is limited to a maximum of 10,000 IP addresses. Paid users can include more IP addresses by raising the limit option and lowering the confidenceMinimum option in the source URL. Admins should first raise the Juggernaut Firewall -> Settings -> General Settings -> Ipset maxelem option larger than your limit (e.g. 100,000 - so that you don't get ipset errors loading a large blocklist of that size).

// Paid source URL example with limit set to 100,000 IP addresses and a confidenceMinimum set to 75 
https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/blacklist?plaintext&limit=100000&confidenceMinimum=75&key=db413d60408bd4cba20840285402385sdjfasjdpu09374934gsdfg99de1f

AbuseIPDB has a nice graph with how many IP addresses will be included at different confidence minimums here.
