Confidence
BigDataCloud’s confidence value expresses how reliable an IP geolocation result is—particularly for dynamic addresses. It combines two independent processes: service‑area estimation (the confidence area) and field‑evidence verification, providing a dependable accuracy rating.
Low: Uncertain or conflicting; interpret with caution.
The Hazard Report is BigDataCloud’s consolidated view of IP address risk. It blends reactive signals (blocklists, past abuse evidence, known anonymiser detections) with proactive indicators such as the hosting likelihood model to assess the chance of non‑human or malicious use.
Reactive signals: Third‑party abuse/blacklist checks and previously observed malicious behaviour, plus detectable VPN/proxy/TOR indicators.
Proactive indicators: Whether the IP is in hosting/data‑centre infrastructure (no “eyeball” user), helping surface high‑risk traffic even without prior incidents.
Use this composite view to inform allow/deny rules, step‑up verification, throttling or rate‑limits, and strengthen zero‑day defence.
Hosting Likelihood indicates the probability (0–10) that an IP address sits in hosting or data‑centre infrastructure rather than a residential “eyeball” network. It’s a proactive signal that helps surface non‑human or automated activity even without prior malicious behaviour.
Proactive assessment: Complements reactive blocklists by analysing network characteristics.
Score meaning: Higher values imply greater likelihood of server‑side or automated use.
Operational use: Forms part of the Hazard Report to guide allow/deny rules, step‑up checks and rate‑limits.
