<p>Thank you for sharing it.<p>> GreyNoise tells you whether an IP is internet-background scanning noise.<p>My somewhat poorly expressed point was that to make a decision whether IP is or isn't a "internet-background scanning noise" (btw how would you define that?) you need to have access to substantial volume of data. And also how the decision is made remains unclear. If some sysadmin on legitimate node does network scan to investiage something and you catch it - will it become positive "internet-background scanning noise"?</p>

<p>Thank you for your work and insights. I am a very satisfied paid user for many years. Keep up the good work!<p>Appreciate the balanced view as well.<p>Reputation scoring is useless metrics IMHO exactly for reasons you stated - risk appetite and risk model are generally different for everyone. We actually do have IP scoring build on datapoints we have + what ipinfo API gives us. This is tuned to specific projects and practically useless for anyone else.<p>One of practical point for OP is perhaps to consider an PoV that providing this sort of service will require a lot of intelligence collected from many sources, which OP may not have at this point. Even 1400 servers probably cover limited scope.</p>

<p>Quite interesting, but what is your selling point vs say ipinfo.io?<p>To maintain this sort of service you need access to vast scale of intelligence. Do you have it?</p>

<p>There certainly will be influx of low quality tools from vibecoders. With their limited understanding how things work, they would think they can create anything compatible to Excel (or any other tool with thousands of man/hours to make).<p>Once they realise they can't make anything remotely like Excel, and - more importantly - like you have said, world doesn't need another Excel, we will likely get back to decent products</p>

<p>> Now average folk can solve problems and avoid dealing with Microsoft for a spreadsheet program.<p>You seriously believe some vibecoder can write anything remotely similar to MS Excel, which took probably thousands man-hours to create?</p>

<p>Ok, i see the way you think and “facts” you are bringing up.<p>Just one thing i wonder - are you seriously trying to say Berlin is safer (in terms of crime) after Germany started to import 3rd world criminals in droves?<p>Just simple yes or no would do. Would say tons about logical thinking without using massaged police statistics.</p>

<p>> It’s by far one of the safest countries in the world.<p>It seriously puzzles me how one can carry the ridiculous thought. The only thing to advise here is perhaps to travel more - to countries like Singapore, Japan, Korea, Thailand and many other places where homelessness, rape, "refugee" with a knife on a street are not a part of everyday's life.<p>Germany was the safe country. When Germans lived there.<p>> I think the way you phrase you reply makes it pretty clear where you stand emotionally and politically, so I won’t pretend that facts will change your mind, but alas.<p>Instead of making emotional statements, would be great if you can actually bring facts you talking much of, but instead talking about your emotions. I would be extremely interested in "facts" explaining how importing criminals and uneducated 3rd world "refugees" actually made Germany (and rest of EU) safer.<p>And if you actually believe Berlin now is safer compared to Berlin in 90s, you can't be intellectually honest.</p>

<p>It's well known fact how Germany massages statistics to avoid any reference to "refugee" crime. Likely no other country in EU does so much shenanigans to hide the statistics</p>

<p>I am not sure tech approach is a right way to go if we project it at wider scale on a society or a country.<p>Society moves at way slower pace, and wrong turns may takes decades to rectify. Needless to say wrong turns may have horrible ramifications lasting decades as well.<p>If you'd ask me, I would certainly be against tech approach here. Lets leave it where it does play well.</p>

<p>I am not going to debate on manipulation of one cherry picked number.<p>If your point is that crime hasn't risen up since EU started to receive "refugees" in droves, you are either not living in EU or prefer to ignore wider evidence dismissing it as "far-right talking point" (whatever that is)</p>
