Security::IPIntelligenceBlacklistCategory

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.5.0
The BlacklistCategory interface enables you to update the global list of blacklist categories. The IP Intelligence blacklist categories are a single global list of up to 62 entries maintained in the Common partition. There&aposre 9 categories predefined in the system: /Common/spam_sources (Spam Sources), /Common/windows_exploits (Windows Exploits), /Common/web_attacks (Web Attacks), /Common/botnets (BotNets), /Common/scanners (Scanners), /Common/denial_of_service (Denial of Service), /Common/infected_sources (Infected Sources), /Common/phishing (Phishing), /Common/proxy (Proxy), /Common/illegal_websites (Illegal Websites), /Common/cloud_provider_networks (Cloud Provider Networks) and /Common/application_denial_of_service (dosl7). There are 2 ways the global list can be updated: 1) Automatically by the system: when new categories are auto-learned from the downloaded feeds they&aposre added into the list so a user could use it when configuring IP Intelligence policies. 2) You can use the blacklist category component to add or remove blacklist categories which can then be used in IP intelligence policies to configure specific enforcement and logging settings per each blacklist category. Note: system predefined categories can never be removed.
