You can import networks into your account in three ways: by ASN, by abuse contact, or manually. Each method automatically discovers associated abuse contacts, but those contacts must be verified before their networks are fully imported. You can manage your networks in the Network Management section of the portal.

​
Import by ASN

When you add an ASN, all associated network ranges are fetched from WHOIS databases (RIPE, ARIN, LACNIC, APNIC, AfriNIC) and imported in the background.
  • Imported networks are linked to the ASN, not to an abuse contact
  • Abuse contacts found for these networks are automatically discovered and added to your account, but remain unverified with 0 networks
  • To import the full network list for a discovered abuse contact, you must verify it
Discovered abuse contacts show 0 networks until verified. This is intentional — a single abuse contact can be responsible for hundreds of network ranges, while your imported ASN may only contain a small subset.

​
Import by Abuse Contact

When you add an abuse contact email address, a verification email is sent to that address. No networks are imported until you click the verification link.
  • After verification, all networks associated with that contact are fetched from WHOIS databases and imported
  • Once verified, the contact becomes independent — removing the ASN or manual network that originally discovered it will not delete the contact

​
Manual Import

You can add a single network range (in CIDR notation) directly. The network is available in your account immediately.
  • Only the specific CIDR you entered is added (unlike ASN import, which fetches all prefixes)
  • Associated abuse contacts are automatically discovered but remain unverified, just like with ASN imports

​
Abuse Contact Verification

Abuse contacts must be verified before their networks are imported. A single abuse contact can be responsible for hundreds of network ranges, so importing all of them without confirmation could flood your account with unrelated networks. Until verified, an abuse contact shows 0 associated networks. Once you complete verification, the contact’s full set of networks is imported from WHOIS databases and the contact becomes independent of its original import source.

​
Reputation Dashboard

The reputation dashboard only provides analytics for network ranges of verified abuse contacts. To see reputation data for your networks, make sure the associated abuse contacts have been verified.
