AbuseIPDB
Real-world scenarios where AI-powered threat intelligence turns reactive security into proactive defense.
A security analyst spots an unfamiliar IP in the logs and messages your support portal. Your AI Agent queries AbuseIPDB's Check IP endpoint, retrieves the confidence score of 98 percent along with 247 prior abuse reports categorized as SSH brute force attempts. The analyst gets immediate context to prioritize the incident, while your SOC handles 40 percent fewer manual IP lookups.
A customer asks why their server is receiving unusual traffic. Your AI Agent checks the source IPs against AbuseIPDB, identifies three addresses with high abuse scores flagged for DDoS and spam activity, and recommends blocking. The customer gets peace of mind, and your support team delivers threat-informed guidance without escalating to security staff.
Your SIEM detected 50 brute force attempts overnight. A team member asks the AI agent to report them. The agent formats the attack data into AbuseIPDB's required CSV structure and submits via bulk report, contributing to the global threat database while documenting your security response automatically.

FAQs
When checking an IP, your agent retrieves the abuse confidence score (0-100), total number of reports, country code, ISP information, usage type, and domain name. With verbose mode enabled, it also returns hostnames and the most recent 25 reports with categories like SSH brute force, web spam, or port scanning.
AbuseIPDB processes over one million abuse reports daily from security professionals worldwide. Your AI agent queries this live database with configurable lookback periods from 1 to 365 days. Default is 30 days, ensuring you get recent, relevant threat data while filtering out stale reports.
Yes. Your agent can submit individual reports or bulk reports via CSV upload. Each report includes the IP address, attack categories (like SSH brute force or web spam), timestamp, and optional comments describing the observed behavior. This contributes to the global threat database while documenting your security incidents.
Your AI agent can use the Clear Address endpoint to remove reports you submitted for IPs you control. This only removes your own reports, not those from other users. For third-party reports, you can contact AbuseIPDB directly through their dispute process.
The abuse confidence score ranges from 0 to 100 and indicates how likely an IP is purely malicious based on community reports. A score of 100 means high confidence of abuse. When generating blocklists, you can set a minimum confidence threshold between 25 and 100 to filter results based on your risk tolerance.
Yes. The Check Block capability accepts CIDR notation (like 192.168.1.0/24) and returns aggregated abuse data for the entire subnet. This is useful for investigating ISPs, cloud providers, or network ranges during incident response. Results include address counts and abuse summaries for the block.
