**Probe:** `curl -s --max-filesize 20000000 -m 30 -A "nh-b33b-research/1.0" https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/downloads/{csv_recent,csv_online,json_recent}/`
(bulk dump endpoints, GET, no key). No live malicious URL or IP is quoted
here per this lane's safety rules — only the feed's own schema, row counts,
and cadence are recorded.

**Observed, today:**

- `https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/downloads/` (the human-facing listing/index page)
  — **403**, 306 bytes. The index page itself is bot-blocked.
- `csv_recent/` — 200, 3,132,883 bytes, 16,685 data rows after stripping the
  `#`-comment header. Header comment block states "Last updated:
  2026-10-05 10:47:12 (UTC)" — i.e. regenerated within the same minute-ish
  window as this probe. Columns (from the embedded header row):
  `id,dateadded,url,url_status,last_online,threat,tags,urlhaus_link,reporter`
  (9 fields), quoted-CSV.
- `csv_online/` — 200, 3,345,092 bytes, 13,703 data rows — same 9-column
  schema, filtered to currently-`online` entries only (fewer rows than
  `csv_recent`, which includes recently-`offline`/`unknown` entries too).
- `json_recent/` — 200, 7,922,072 bytes — a single JSON object keyed by the
  numeric `id` string, each value an object with keys `dateadded, url,
  url_status, last_online, threat, tags, urlhaus_link, reporter` (the same 8
  non-id fields as the CSV's remaining columns). 16,685 top-level keys,
  matching `csv_recent`'s row count exactly.
- All three bulk endpoints required **no API key and no Authorization
  header** — a bare GET with only a descriptive `User-Agent` succeeded on the
  first attempt for all three.

**Pattern:** the raw bulk-dump endpoints under `/downloads/` are fully open
GET surfaces with no key and a disclosed last-updated timestamp baked into
the file itself, while the human-browsable index page one level up is
blocked by whatever edge protection abuse.ch runs — an agent that 403s on
the listing page and gives up would miss that the actual data files it
wanted are directly fetchable by guessing the three well-known filenames.

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:06Z-11:07Z, `curl -s --max-filesize 20000000 -m 30`
(plain GET) against the three download URLs and the index page; row/key
counts computed locally (`grep -vc '^#'` for CSV, `json.load` length for
JSON) — no row content reproduced in this record.
