When you run a threat lookup on an IP Address threat lookup, you’ll get details about the reputation and other risks that specific address is associated with. This information helps you determine if an IP address should be allowed or blocked in firewall and cybersecurity solutions. The results also help you train your solution to quickly recognize and repel malicious traffic without slowing down network access.
The threatip operator correlates CrowdStrike’s threat intelligence based on the IP addresses in your log data. It takes into account the reputation of the entire neighborhood in which an IP address is located, such as whether it’s registered to a data center, hosting provider or residential or wireless network. It also considers if it’s a proxy, VPN or other device that allows for anonymized connections and can be used by cybercriminals to hide their activities from monitoring systems.
Email Validity Checker: Ensure Accurate Email Lists
Lookup results show the current reputation of an IP address – a good or bad rating. They also highlight any blacklists it’s currently on and if it has been involved in malicious activity, such as running a distributed denial-of-service attack, dropping malware or hosting criminally illegal or obscene material.
The IP Address Lookup tool also provides geolocation of the device. This is useful for tracking down spammers and hackers and helps businesses understand the location of their customers or prospects, for marketing and advertising purposes. It’s important to note, however, that lookup locations can sometimes be inaccurate if you use a VPN or proxy service.
