Some interest. A stronger README and CI would help.

Higher than 16% of 5,156 graded repos

Aggregation of lists of malicious IP addresses (C2, malware, phishing), to be blocked in the LAN > WAN direction, integrated into firewalls: FortiGate, Palo Alto, pfSense, IPtables

A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code

Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would add 35 points.

    CI/CD14pt

    If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.

    Break it into sections (Overview, Install, Usage, Contributing) using Markdown headings.

    Add CI/build status badges from shields.io or your CI provider to signal project health.

Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.

The free GitHub App rescans this repo on every push and posts the grade as a commit check, so the score climbs without coming back to rescan by hand.
