Summary:Systems, methods and products for identifying IP mass hosts and determining whether they are good or bad. One embodiment is a method including selecting a first candidate IP address (302, 304), identifying (306) a set of domains hosted at the IP address, and identifying (308) registrants of the domains. A number of unique ones of the registrants is determined (310) and if the number of unique registrants exceeds a threshold number, the candidate IP address is deemed (312) an IP mass host. Otherwise, the candidate IP address is deemed not (322) to be an IP mass host. For an IP mass host, domains that have bad reputations are identified (314), and it is determined (316) whether the bad domains comprise at least a threshold percentage of the total hosted domains. If the IP mass host has at least the threshold percentage of bad domains, the IP mass host is deemed (318) a bad mass host.
