Check an IP

Is this IP really IPIP security measurement?

Checks the address against what IPIP security measurement publishes, the same evidence behind risk.is_scanner.

Limited public information

Our catalogue has no official documentation page for IPIP security measurement, so this page only describes the verification rule below. Addresses are flagged only when that rule matches.

01 — Verification

How IPAPI.GR verifies IPIP security measurement.

Only from what IPIP security measurement publishes about itself. No third-party blocklists, no behavioural guesses.

IPIP security measurement

risk.is_scanner
Method
rDNS Forward-confirmed reverse DNS
Reverse DNS
PTR hostname must end in .scan.security.ipip.net. The hostname must then resolve forward to the same address.
Refresh
Checked in the background; a new address can become flagged shortly after its first lookup.

02 — In the response

What a match looks like.

A lookup of a IPIP security measurement address sets risk.is_scanner. The flags come with geolocation and network data in the same response, for Pro API keys.

The response says which kind of bot an address belongs to, not which operator. Pair it with the user agent: a request that claims to be IPIP security measurement but doesn't match is unverified.

GET /api/lookup/{ip}?key=PRO_KEY
{
  // … location and network fields …
  "risk": {
    "is_ai": false,
    "is_crawler": false,
    "is_scanner": true
  }
}
