How to Use IPDog to Track and Analyze IP Addresses

What IPDog Does

IPDog is a tool for discovering, tracking, and analyzing IP addresses and related network data—useful for network admins, security analysts, and developers.

Getting Started

  1. Sign up and log in to IPDog.
  2. Add a new project or workspace for the set of IPs you’ll monitor.
  3. Configure data sources (e.g., DNS lookups, WHOIS, passive DNS, threat feeds) — enable only the sources you need.

Adding IPs to Track

  1. Single IP: Use the search bar to enter an IP and click Add/Track.
  2. Bulk import: Upload a CSV with one IP per line or import from a text list.
  3. Range/subnet: Enter CIDR notation (e.g., 192.0.2.0/24) to monitor all addresses in the range.

Core Analysis Workflows

  • IP Lookup: Run a lookup for geolocation, ASN, reverse DNS, open ports, and service banners.
  • WHOIS & Ownership: Check registrant, contact info, and allocation dates.
  • Passive DNS & Historical Data: View historical resolutions to spot domain changes or takeover attempts.
  • Port & Service Scanning: Conduct safe scans to identify active services and versions (use within policy).
  • Threat Intelligence Correlation: Match IPs against malware, spam, or botnet lists.

Prioritizing and Alerting

  1. Set risk scores based on threat hits, abnormal ports, or unusual geolocation.
  2. Configure alerts for: new open high-risk ports, changes in WHOIS, or appearance on blacklists.
  3. Use tags and folders to group IPs by priority, client, or region.

Investigations & Timeline

  • Build a timeline of events (scans, alerts, DNS changes) for each IP.
  • Pivot from an IP to associated domains, certificates, ASN peers, and related IPs.
  • Export timelines and findings as CSV or PDF for reporting.

Best Practices

  • Respect privacy and legal constraints—only scan IPs you own or have permission to test.
  • Regularly update data source integrations and threat feeds.
  • Use rate limits and scheduled scans to avoid triggering network defenses.
  • Combine IPDog data with internal logs (firewall, IDS) for fuller context.

Exporting & Integrations

  • Export reports in CSV, JSON, or PDF.
  • Integrate with SIEMs, ticketing systems, and SOAR platforms via API or webhooks for automated workflows.

Example Quick Checklist

  • Add IP to project
  • Run initial lookup & port scan
  • Check WHOIS and passive DNS
  • Tag and set alert thresholds
  • Export findings and document actions

Final Notes

Use IPDog as part of a layered security process: it helps identify suspicious IP behavior and enrich investigations but should be paired with endpoint and network telemetry for effective incident response.
