About the vendor

What is GreenSnow?

GreenSnow is a community-maintained IP reputation blocklist that aggregates intelligence from honeypots, intrusion detection systems, and abuse reports to track IPs involved in malicious activities including spam, brute-force attacks, and port scanning. The GreenSnow blocklist is widely referenced in firewall rules, Fail2Ban configurations, and network security tooling across self-hosted and enterprise environments worldwide.

GreenSnow is frequently imported into server-level firewall rules and automated security tooling. A listing means your IP address is blocked at the server level across thousands of independently managed systems, many of which pull the blocklist automatically on a daily schedule.

Common causes

Why was your site flagged?

  • Your server IP was detected initiating brute-force login attempts against monitored honeypots
  • A compromised application or bot running on your hosting performed automated scanning
  • Your shared hosting IP block was flagged due to attack traffic from another tenant
  • A VPN or proxy IP associated with your requests triggered attack detection sensors
  • Your IP appeared in multiple independent abuse reports aggregated by GreenSnow

Expert knowledge

Pro tips & common mistakes for GreenSnow removal

Pro tips

  • Report the IP your domain resolves to; IP lists ignore domain names.
  • Fix and document the root cause first; relistings are harder to reverse.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Disputing before the site is fully cleaned
  • Reanalyzing only one URL variant on VirusTotal
  • Opening duplicate tickets instead of following up
  • Reporting the domain name to an IP-based list instead of the listed IP address
