We will add this information, but essentially we and other partners have seen a high quantity of torrents infected with malware. We intend to fine tune this in the future to differentiate the torrents depending on category!

Thanks!
Additional non-related questions:
- How do you scan ipv6s? Scanning the entire space is easy for ipv4 (we do that for some router-security-related projects), but ipv6 space is freaking huge.
- Have you considered using something like Shodan (https://www.shodan.io/) API instead of scanning the address space by yourselves?

- For IPv6 rather than scanning the entire space, we are currently passively collecting addresses from multiple sources and scan specific addresses
- We wouldn't use shodan as we developed our own custom scanners and methodologies of scanning to increase data quality which is extremely important for our customers (cyberinsurers, SoCs, cyberrating companies). We also do some specific things with data which you can check on http://blog.binaryedge.io/2016/11/18/bsides-lisbon-2015/

You could also differentiate OSes, in that most malware is aimed at Windows machines.

Feedback like this is exactly why we made the formula open, we believe there is still lots that can be done with this. Please submit an issue on https://github.com/binaryedge/ratemyip-openframework so that we can have a discussion about impact/usefullness!
