Hi Sebastian, all,
 Seems I rushed when sending out a message to the list (once again, I shouldn't have). Yes, I checked the feed's current contents after clicking "send" and, as you said, there were no events.
What comes to my comment on http collectors manipulating data, a better wording would have been "the http collectors make assumptions on the structure of the incoming data". Not 100% sure but it looks to me that collector_http.py for example, expects the incoming data to be in zip format since in the sources one can see unzipping being done. Correct?
 I hadn't tried to fetch the ipblocklist.json with any collector yet since I thought the collector_http.py would not be suitable due to the unzipping. Therefore, my question was, what would be the recommended collector to be used to push reports to the Abusech Feodo Tracker parser? I expect the parser to be fine as long as its incoming reports are plain JSON(?)
 If you hear something concerning the Feodo tracker feed, please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll look for other candidate sources for vuln info.
Br, Mika

        Afaiks, the ready-made Abusech Feodo Tracker parser expects
        reports in plain JSON but the available http collectors are
        manipulating the retrieved information in one way or the other
        before passing it on to the parser.
        
      
      
      Not sure what you mean with the http collector data manipulation,
      but to me it appears that the feodotracker is either dysfunctional
      or dead. Not one of the data feed files contains actual data.
      
    
    Never mind, the other feeds are empty because there's simply no
      data. 😇️
    
    Parsing the mentioned
      https://feodotracker.abuse.ch/downloads/ipblocklist.json
      works fine with
      intelmq.bots.parsers.abusech.parser_feodotracker
      as documented in
      https://docs.intelmq.org/latest/user/feeds/#feodo-tracker
    Could you please describe what erroneous behavior you see?
    best regards
      Sebastian
