AbuseBox is a free, open-source tool that checks IP addresses and domains against 60 DNS blacklists, pulls reputation scores from AbuseIPDB, inspects DNS, SSL and email-authentication records, and sends an alert when something changes. A DNS blacklist, or DNSBL, is a list that mail servers and other services consult when deciding whether to trust an address.
