The Velocity

| Platform | Contribution | Time Frame | Ranking |
|----------|--------------|------------|---------|
| AlienVault OTX | 1,000,000+ indicators | 3-4 weeks | #10 globally |
| AbuseIPDB | 11,000+ IP reports | 1-2 days | TBD |
| STIX Feed | 1,017 enriched indicators | Continuous | 47 countries consuming |
| ThreatFox | Active submissions | Ongoing | Community contributor |

Three weeks on OTX. Top 10 in contributed indicators.

Two days on AbuseIPDB. 11,000+ abuse reports.


OTX: #10 in Contributed Indicators

Leaderboard: `otx.alienvault.com/browse/global/users`

Username: `pduggusa`

Rank: #10

Time on platform: 3-4 weeks

The accounts above us? Years of contributions. 2015. 2017. 2019.

We joined December 2025. We're #10.

Why: Pattern 53 (PreCog Sweep) automates threat intelligence at scale. Hourly ThreatFox ingestion. Multi-source correlation. Auto-publish to OTX pulse. 24/7/365.

The enterprise vendors have headcount. We have automation that doesn't sleep.


AbuseIPDB: 11,000+ Reports in 48 Hours

Profile: `abuseipdb.com/user/256610`

Reports submitted: 11,000+

Time on platform: 1-2 days

Categories: SSH brute force, web attacks, port scanning, spam, hacking

AbuseIPDB doesn't have a public leaderboard. But 11,000 reports in 48 hours puts us in rare company.

• 11,000 reports / 48 hours = 229 reports/hour

• 229 reports/hour = 3.8 reports/minute

• Around the clock. Automated. Zero human intervention.

Why: Auto-blocker pipeline feeds directly to AbuseIPDB. Every IP that hits our honeypot, attacks our infrastructure, or shows malicious behavior gets reported. Automatically.


STIX Feed: 47 Countries Consuming

Endpoint: `analytics.dugganusa.com/api/v1/stix-feed`

Indicators: 1,017 enriched STIX 2.1 objects

Consumers: AT&T, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Huawei, + 47 countries

Format: STIX 2.1 with MITRE ATT&CK mappings

Cost: $0

• `?since=<ISO8601>` - Delta feed (~90% bandwidth reduction)

• `?minimal=true` - Stripped context (~85% size reduction)

• `?limit=N&offset=N` - Pagination for controlled ingestion

The enterprise vendors charge $50K-$500K/year for threat feeds. Ours is free, open standard, and apparently good enough for Microsoft and AT&T to consume daily.


ThreatFox: Active Submissions

Platform: `threatfox.abuse.ch`

Status: Active community contributor

Focus: C2 infrastructure, malware delivery, stealer panels

ThreatFox is the gold standard for malware IOC sharing. We ingest hourly, correlate with VirusTotal, and contribute novel discoveries back.

• Stealc C2 infrastructure (Pattern 38 campaign)

• Rhadamanthys delivery domains

• Discord stealer networks

• GitHub-hosted malware droppers


The Automation Stack

This isn't manual work. This is:

Honeypot captures
    ↓
Auto-blocker evaluation
    ↓
AbuseIPDB report (automatic)
    ↓
ThreatFox correlation
    ↓
OTX pulse generation
    ↓
STIX feed update
    ↓
Repeat every hour

Infrastructure cost: $75/month

Human intervention: Zero

Microsoft pulls this feed daily. AT&T pulls this feed daily. Starlink pulls this feed daily. Get the DugganUSA STIX feed — $9/mo →

Uptime: 99.99%


Why This Matters

The enterprise threat intelligence model:
1. Detect threat
2. Add to proprietary database
3. Sell access for $500K/year
4. Community gets nothing

The DugganUSA model:
1. Detect threat (automated)
2. Report to AbuseIPDB (automatic)
3. Publish to OTX (automatic)
4. Update STIX feed (automatic)
5. Community gets everything, immediately, for free

Winner: The planet.
