**Probe:** `curl -sL --max-filesize 20000000 -m 20 -A "nh-b33b-research/1.0" -D - https://openphish.com/feed.txt`
(the documented free community feed, GET, no key). No phishing URL from the
feed is quoted here, only format, count, and cadence.

**Observed, today:**

- `openphish.com/feed.txt` **302**s to
  `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openphish/public_feed/refs/heads/main/feed.txt`
  — the "community feed" is now hosted as a public file in a public GitHub
  repository, not served directly from openphish.com.
- Final response: 200, `content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8`,
  `cache-control: max-age=300` (5-minute cache, via GitHub raw's own CDN
  headers), 13,667 bytes, **exactly 300 lines** (one URL per line).
- 300 is a round, fixed count — consistent with the free/community tier
  being capped at a constant list size (refreshed in place) rather than an
  ever-growing or time-windowed feed like URLhaus's `csv_recent`.
- No API key, Authorization header, or User-Agent requirement was enforced —
  a bare GET with a generic User-Agent succeeded immediately (first
  response already 302, not a 403 or 429).

**Pattern:** of the three URL-reputation feeds probed in this lane
(URLhaus, PhishTank, OpenPhish), OpenPhish's free tier is the only one that
redirects off its own domain entirely onto a generic public code-hosting CDN,
and the only one with a fixed, round row count rather than a cadence-driven
growing/filtered count.

**Detail on the redirect itself:** the first hop (`openphish.com`, served by
`nginx`) returns a plain **302 Moved Temporarily** with `Location:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openphish/public_feed/refs/heads/main/feed.txt`
and, unusually for a redirect response, an `Allow: GET, POST, HEAD` header
and a full `Content-Security-Policy` — consistent with openphish.com's
front-end being a general app server (same stack that serves its paid
dashboard/API) rather than a static file host, even for this one free,
static artifact. This contrasts with OpenPhish's commercial feeds, which
the same `developer_info`-style framing on openphish.com describes as
subscription/API-key gated (not probed here — out of scope for the free,
keyless surface this record covers).

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:07Z, `curl -sL --max-filesize 20000000 -m 20 -D -`
(GET, redirect followed, headers captured) against `openphish.com/feed.txt`;
line count via local `wc -l` on the saved body — no line content quoted.
