A marked day is a UTC day the feed listed this address. The feed keeps a listener for up to 90 days after its last confirmation, so a listed day is not a confirmation. A listener no longer in the feed is drawn to its last confirmation.

No listener here is listed, so there are no rules. The queries below search past traffic: run them once, not as a standing alert.

Each query searches the last 30 days of your logs for connections to these listeners. Queries hold only addresses, ports and file hashes.
