What problem does it solve?

Quickly determine the nature of an IP address by querying GreyNoise to distinguish benign scanners from threats, enabling faster triage and decision-making for security teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

• IP lookup for community and enterprise contexts to retrieve noise, riot, and classification values.
• Contextual interpretation of API responses to guide incident response workflows (benign vs malicious vs unknown).
• Use Case: investigate an IP appearing in logs to decide whether to deprioritize scanning-related noise or escalate for investigation.
