IP Reputation Check
Check one IPv4 or IPv6 address against bounded public threat snapshots. Results preserve each publisher’s scope, freshness, and limitations—there is no opaque “risk score.”
- Source-level evidence
- Freshness shown
- Tor kept neutral
- No query sent upstream
Check an IP address
Privacy: the queried address is sent only to Octetify’s same-origin service, evaluated against cached data, and is not persisted or forwarded to source operators.
- Canonical address
- Address scope
- Coverage
- Checked
Threat evidence ?Exact-host observations and containing-network matches are deliberately described differently.
A match reports what that source actually asserts; sources are not blended into a synthetic score.
Neutral context
Context such as Tor exit participation is shown separately and never treated as malicious by itself.
Snapshot coverage and freshness ?Fresh means the cached copy is within a source-specific freshness window; it is not a promise of exhaustive observation.
Interpretation limits
What is checked
Threat evidence comes from Spamhaus DROP network ranges, the CINS Army exact-IP snapshot, and abuse.ch Feodo Tracker’s recommended botnet C2 feed. Tor Project exit-list data is neutral context. Python’s standards-based IP address semantics classify special-use space.
Source and update boundaries
The service downloads only fixed HTTPS endpoints with byte, time, record-count, and schema limits. It retains the last valid snapshot after a refresh failure and discloses stale, degraded, or unavailable coverage in every report.
What a result means
A source match is evidence to investigate, not an automatic blocking decision. A no-match means only that the address was absent from the checked snapshots. It does not prove safety, trust, mail deliverability, ownership, or current routability.
Why there is no score
A botnet C2 observation, a containing DROP network, a hostile-activity list, and Tor exit context answer different questions. Combining them into one number would hide their scope and imply unsupported precision.
