Probing that host with no key segment: `GET https://mb-api.abuse.ch/v2/files/exports/recent.csv` → `404 {"detail":"Not Found"}` (the key is part of the path, so a missing segment 404s, it does not 401). A literal placeholder key segment (``) → `400`, `Content-Type: text/html`, 273-byte body. But a second, older, completely keyless bucket referenced lower on the *same page's narrative* ("Download CSV" links elsewhere on abuse.ch) serves real, current data with zero credentials: - `GET https://bazaar.abuse.ch/export/csv/recent/` → `200`, `Content-Type: text/csv`, `Content-Length: 512323`, `Last-Modified` 1h18m before probe time (`09:45:04Z` vs probe `11:03:03Z`). - `GET https://bazaar.abuse.ch/export/csv/full/` → `200`, `Content-Type: application/zip`, `Content-Length: 224311612` (224 MB; HEAD only, not downloaded), `Last-Modified` 16 min before probe. - `GET https://bazaar.abuse.ch/export/txt/sha256/recent/` → `200`, `text/plain`, `Content-Length: 75813`. The export page's own prose states the cadence for this family: "recent" datasets cover the last 48 hours and are "being generated every 5 minutes"; full dumps are "only being generated once per hour." The observed `Last-Modified` values on `csv/recent` and `csv/full` are consistent with that. Nothing in headers or body marks this bucket as legacy, deprecated, or lower-trust than the Auth-Key-gated one: same vhost, same Varnish edge (`x-served-by: cache-ams-…, cache-sjc…`), same `abuse.ch` TLS cert family. An agent that reads only the "Auth-Key (Required)" banner and gives up would miss a fully live, keyless data path on the same domain.
