Examples

Identify a resolver

Input

Output
PTR one.one.one.one · AS13335 Cloudflare

Well-known infrastructure often has PTR and ASN data populated.

About this tool

IP Intelligence combines reverse DNS (PTR), Team Cymru ASN mapping, and Spamhaus ZEN blocklist status for public IPv4/IPv6 addresses.

GeoIP is intentionally omitted in v1 until MaxMind GeoLite2 is configured on the backend. Each check is fault-isolated — one failure does not block the others.

How to use

  1. Enter a public IP

    Paste an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Private, loopback, and link-local ranges are rejected.

  2. Review PTR, ASN, and RBL

    Use ASN for ownership, PTR for forward-confirmed reverse DNS, RBL for spam/malware listing status.

Use cases

Abuse ticket triage

Document ASN and RBL status before blocking or escalating.

Mail server debugging

Confirm PTR exists for outbound mail IPs.

Common mistakes

Mistake:Expecting geolocation in v1.

Fix:Geo fields are planned with MaxMind — use IP Address Lookup for browser-side GeoJS geolocation instead.
