When it comes to cyber security, detecting malicious IPs is one of the most important tasks for a cyber security team. With the increasing number of devices connected to the internet, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Fortunately, there are tools out there that can help you detect malicious IPs  and take action accordingly. Using the right tool is essential.

Can you trace IPs?

IDSes are software tools that analyze network traffic for threats. They send alerts to an administrator and protect a network from harm. However, these tools do not automatically take actions, so they require human analysis.

One of the most useful ways to identify a malicious IP is to use an IP reputation check. IPQS, for instance, is a service that identifies recent web attacks and scraping activity. It provides a Fraud Score for each IP. This score can be used to further evaluate the IP, and can be configured for multiple applications.

One of the most interesting features of an IPQS is its ability to classify connections based on suspicious activity. In particular, the service can identify recent scraping activities, account hijacking, and other malicious web behaviors. These types of activities often form high-risk ecosystems.

Another good way to identify a malicious IP is by using a firewall. If a site has a large firewall rule set, it can be helpful to create a block list that lists all the IPs that match a pattern.

There are also various other methods that can be used to detect suspicious IPs. However, it is important to remember that not all of these methods work the same.
