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.

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
Once connected (see setup above), use the Security Scanner tool — the same steps work with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, OpenClaw, and any MCP client:
- 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
Try this with 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
- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I investigate suspicious ip addresses with an AI assistant?
