    Hi, i've read about SecGsbLookupDb and mod_security and see that :
    Note : Deprecated in 2.7.0 after Google dev team decided to not allow the database download anymore. After registering and obtaining a Safe Browsing API key, you can automatically download the GSB using a tool like wget (where KEY is your own API key):
    wget sb.google.com/safebrowsing/update?client=api&apikey=KEY&version=goog-malware-hash:1:-1

    i've read some articles in the internet (not mod_security specific), made an api key but cant find a way to download the database to my server. The url's mentioned in the posts return 404 error when wget url.

    Is there anyone that found a way to download it?

    Thank you,

    Hello :)

    Did you register with Google and obtain a safe browsing API key?

    Thank you.

    I've read about it, but i can understand that you can no longer download the database with a cron and do local queries..
    Just query for a single or multiple url's to google and get the results.
    In the cpanel's mod security configuration it needs a local path to my server.
    I didnt find a recent working guide in google or forums.. Posted here if anyone was able to make it working recently..
    Thank you again..

    You're trying to add this URL as a Vendor?

    I don't think that's possible.

    I see that in mod_security configuration there is an entry :
    Google Safe Browsing Database SecGsbLookupDb
    Specify a path for the Google Safe Browsing Database.

    That needs a local path of a database file.
    I've read that google no longer supports downloading their database and in mod_security they refer to a url that isnt working anymore. There are some old guides in the internet that trying to overide this, but the solutions dont work. I just wondered if someone has a way of make it work, either by local database file, or remote connections..
    Thank you again..

    Hello :)

    You will need to consult with Google if you have obtained an API key and there's no valid download location. The feature was deprecated in Mod_Security after Google began forcing the use of an API key to download the file.

    Thank you.
