IP Intelligence Case Studies
Detailed, technical walkthroughs of security incidents, fraud prevention, and network troubleshooting solved with IP intelligence.
How a Developer Traced a Suspicious IP Using IPDekho
A midnight alert from a database replication server, a spike in egress traffic, and a target IP in Bucharest. Here is the step-by-step breakdown of how we tracked a silent data extraction attempt.
How a Small Business Improved Security with IP Intelligence
A boutique retail site was losing $4,500 a week to chargeback fraud. Here is how they used IP intelligence and ASN detection to build an automated fraud blocking system.
Investigating a Suspicious Login Using WHOIS and DNS Tools
An employee account logged in from an unexpected subnet in Sweden. Was it a remote worker on vacation, or a session hijacking attack? Here is how we investigated the alert.
How DNS Lookup Solved a Website Outage
A global e-learning platform suffered a sudden 3-hour outage. Here is the step-by-step breakdown of how DNS propagation diagnostics, TTL misconfigurations, and WHOIS lookup identified the root cause.
Our Investigative Methodology
When auditing network activity or debugging threat logs, we use structured investigative frameworks. These case studies outline our exact forensic steps using IP intelligence.
Network Reconnaissance
Identifying suspicious subnets, autonomous systems (ASNs), and ISP routing characteristics to map external actors.
DNS & Records Audit
Resolving DNS pointers (PTR), validating mail servers, checking SSL validity, and scanning target open ports.
Reputation & Threat Scoring
Correlating target IP ranges against active blacklists, spam traps, and historical botnet threat feeds.
Remediation & Action
Hardening network configurations, whitelisting or blocking ranges, and submitting abuse reports to hosting operators.
