About 2 months ago I tried visiting a site only to get a weird error message. When I googled the error message I discovered it meant the site refused my request because my IP address is/was blocked as it was black listed for spamming, hacking etc. Allstream was contacted to find out why. They confirmed that my IP address was indeed in the Honey Pot Project black list and the latest entry was the previous week. I visited the Honey Pot Project to see for myself. Sure enough it was listed there and the most recent entry was in mid October. The earliest entry was in 2010. There was a long list of operating systems and browser configurations but none matched either my ANDROID phone, which I tether to my laptop and ANDROID tablet, my laptop or my tablet. Most were Windows Vista and 7 (both 32 and 64 bit) using different versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. A few were Mac OSX running Safari and Firefox and even fewer running Windows XP with Internet Explorer. I have OpenSUSE Linux on my laptop and use Mozilla Seamonkey and Firefox. In the Windows XP virtual machine Seamonkey is the default browser and is only used for income tax preparation and efiling. I'm happy to see your database records says my IP address has a clean record.

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
