New scanner infrastructure live

We are now scanning the entire internet every 12 hours. More frequent scans would be possible (the current record just under an hour!), but it generates an excessive amount of traffic to some large networks and we are trying to be friendly to network operators.

Consumers of the live data feed may see twice daily spikes as the scan data is batch loaded. Once testing is finished new certificates will be available in real time as the scanner discovers them.

Malware data and certificate warnings

  • Data from abuse.ch has been imported to flag certificates used by command and control servers for malware.
  • Warnings are now presented on certificate pages to draw attention to things like SHA1 usage, expired certificates, etc.
You can see an example of both here.
