The problem it solves

During an investigation you often need to know where a suspicious IP address is coming from, but looking it up manually across different tools breaks your focus and slows you down. You just want a quick answer without leaving Slack.

Who it fits

Security teams investigating suspicious network activity.

How it works

  1. An IP address is submitted through a link or Slack command
  2. The system checks whether it is private or public
  3. Public IPs are enriched with location, ISP, and network details
  4. A Slack message reports the findings
  5. A structured result is returned to whoever asked
What you get

Risky IP addresses flagged during investigations

You get instant location, ISP, and risk details for any IP address, posted straight into Slack for your security team to review.

What you get

A quick enrichment report on any IP address, shared in Slack.

What you need

A Slack workspace and access to an IP intelligence service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
