ipcheck

A simple Python tool to check IP addresses using the AbuseIPDB API. You can do domains and more, but as of 8/11/24, this is the start of a bigger project I have in mind. I will update this tool with more features as soon as timely possible.

Description

ipcheck allows you to quickly retrieve information about an IP address, including potential abuse reports. It uses the AbuseIPDB API to fetch:

• Abuse confidence score
• Number of reports
• Country of origin
• ISP
• Usage type

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• requests library

Installation

Choose one of the following methods:

Option 1: Local Installation

1. Copy the entire code from ip_check_tool.py.
2. Paste it into a new file on your local machine.
3. Save the file as ipcheck.py (or any name you prefer).

Option 2: Clone the Repository

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ipcheck.git
   

After installation, install the required library:

pip install requests

Usage

1. Get a (FREE) API key from AbuseIPDB.
2. Run the script:

   python ipcheck.py
   

   (Use the filename you chose if different)
3. Enter your API key when prompted. I prefer inputting the key manually every time in my current workflow. Adjust as needed.
4. Enter the IP address to check.
