Investigate Suspicious IP Addresses
Check IP addresses against abuse databases and threat feeds to assess risk before allowing traffic into your network.
Quick answer: Use the Security Scanner tool through ToolRouter to investigate suspicious ip addresses directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolWhen an unusual IP appears in your server logs, authentication events, or firewall alerts, you need a fast answer: is this address associated with known abuse, scanning activity, or malicious infrastructure? Manually checking IPs one by one across different abuse databases burns time and produces inconsistent results.
Security Scanner's `check_ip` skill queries abuse databases and threat intelligence feeds for a given IP, returning reputation scores, abuse reports, geolocation context, and any known association with botnets or malicious actors. You can check 200 IP addresses from a log export and get risk-ranked results in minutes.
SOC analysts, system administrators, and network security teams use this to triage authentication spikes, evaluate new traffic sources, and build block lists from firewall logs.
How to investigate suspicious ip addresses with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw
Use Claude with Security Scanner to investigate suspicious IPs from logs or alerts and get a reasoned risk assessment. Claude is well-suited to correlating the raw abuse data with the context you provide — login spike timing, traffic patterns, or geographic anomalies — and recommending a clear next action.

How to investigate suspicious ip addresses with Claude
Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Scanner tool:
- Paste the IP addresses from your logs or alert into the conversation.
- Ask Claude to check each IP via `security-scanner` using `check_ip`.
- Ask Claude to rank the results by risk score and explain what the abuse reports indicate.
- Request a recommendation: block, monitor, or clear each IP based on the findings.
Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the Security Scanner tool
Use security-scanner to check these IP addresses from our authentication logs: 185.220.101.45, 45.33.32.156, 203.0.113.77. Rank them by risk, explain what each abuse report says, and tell me which ones I should block immediately versus monitor.
Tips for Claude
- Provide the context — login spike, unusual geography, port scan — so Claude can correlate the IP reputation with the observed behavior.
- Ask Claude to distinguish between residential proxy abuse and dedicated malicious infrastructure — the response differs.
- Cross-reference flagged IPs against your current allow-list before recommending a block.
Use ChatGPT with Security Scanner to turn raw IP reputation data into a clean incident brief or firewall recommendation. ChatGPT works well when the output needs to be a formatted report — a block-list recommendation, a security advisory for management, or a structured table for the operations team.

How to investigate suspicious ip addresses with ChatGPT
Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Scanner tool:
- Paste the IP addresses and provide the context — which service they hit and when.
- Ask ChatGPT to run `check_ip` for each one via `security-scanner`.
- Have ChatGPT compile a risk-ranked table with verdict, abuse score, and country for each IP.
- Ask for a ready-to-send block-list recommendation with a brief justification for each entry.
Example prompt for ChatGPT
Try this with ChatGPT using the Security Scanner tool
Use security-scanner to check these IPs from our authentication logs: 185.220.101.45, 45.33.32.156, 203.0.113.77. Return a risk-ranked table with verdict, abuse score, country, and ISP, then give me a block-list recommendation with a one-line justification for each IP I should block.
Tips for ChatGPT
- Ask for a table format so results are easy to scan and paste into a ticket or ops report.
- Include country and ISP in the output — unusual geography combined with high abuse scores strengthens a block recommendation.
- Request separate sections for block-immediately, monitor, and clear so the ops team has a clear action list.
Use Copilot with Security Scanner to enrich IP addresses from log files or application events inline with your codebase. Copilot fits best when the IP check is part of a larger security pipeline — enriching structured log data, generating firewall rules, or populating a threat model document.

How to investigate suspicious ip addresses with Copilot
Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Scanner tool:
- Extract the IPs from a log file or structured application event in your workspace.
- Ask Copilot to run `check_ip` for each IP via `security-scanner`.
- Have Copilot return the enriched result as structured JSON with reputation fields appended to each log entry.
- Use the output to generate firewall rules or populate an IP block-list file in the repo.
Example prompt for Copilot
Try this with Copilot using the Security Scanner tool
Use security-scanner to check these IPs: 185.220.101.45, 45.33.32.156, 203.0.113.77. Return each result as JSON with fields: ip, abuse_score, verdict, country, isp, and recommended_action. I'll append these to my log enrichment pipeline.
Tips for Copilot
- Append reputation fields to existing log entries so enriched data stays in the same schema.
- Return a `recommended_action` field (block/monitor/clear) so downstream code can branch without further parsing.
- Keep field names consistent across runs so the enriched log format stays compatible with your SIEM.
OpenClaw lets you run `check_ip` across hundreds of addresses from a log export or network scan in a single batch job. This is the right approach for bulk triage, scheduled reputation monitoring of known-external IPs, or building an automated block-list refresh.

toolrouter-mcp toolsHow to investigate suspicious ip addresses with OpenClaw
Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Scanner tool:
- Export the IP list from your firewall logs, SIEM, or network scan output.
- Run `security-scanner` with `check_ip` for each IP and collect the results in a normalized schema.
- Filter to IPs with abuse scores above your threshold and sort by risk descending.
- Export the block-list candidates as a structured file for your firewall or security tooling.
Example prompt for OpenClaw
Try this with OpenClaw using the Security Scanner tool
Use security-scanner to check these IPs in batch: 185.220.101.45, 45.33.32.156, 203.0.113.77, 91.108.4.1, 198.51.100.42. Return all results in a stable schema with ip, abuse_score, verdict, country, and isp. Flag any with abuse_score above 75 as block candidates.
Tips for OpenClaw
- Set a clear abuse-score threshold before the run so the block-list output is consistent.
- Schedule weekly batch scans of your known-external partner IPs to catch reputation changes.
- Lock the output schema so results from different runs can be diffed to spot newly flagged addresses.
