# IP / Domain Explorer | IP and Domain Geolocation & Network Intelligence [![image.png](https://wiki.niamonx.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/scaled-1680-/7phTj7Rq0a904rUE-image.png)](https://wiki.niamonx.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-06/7phTj7Rq0a904rUE-image.png) The platform available at **[https://dash.niamonx.io/ipexplorer](https://dash.niamonx.io/ipexplorer)** β€” known as **IP / Domain Explorer** β€” is a lightweight IP and domain intelligence tool within the NiamonX platform. It allows users to check geographic, network, ASN, ISP, reverse DNS, and infrastructure attributes for an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain name. ## Overview of the Service **IP / Domain Explorer** is designed to quickly identify where an IP address or domain is located from a network intelligence perspective and which organization, ISP, Autonomous System, and infrastructure attributes are associated with it. The tool combines internal NiamonX systems with public databases to provide a structured overview of IP or domain metadata. It is useful for cybersecurity analysts, SOC teams, system administrators, fraud investigators, OSINT researchers, compliance teams, and technical users who need a fast way to understand the basic network profile of an address or domain. The module supports: - IPv4 addresses - IPv6 addresses - Domains - Internationalized domain names entered in Unicode The result includes location, coordinates, timezone, currency, network ownership, ASN, reverse DNS, and classification flags such as proxy, hosting, or mobile network. --- ## πŸ” How the Tool Works When a user enters an IP address or domain name, IP / Domain Explorer performs a lookup through internal systems and public intelligence databases. For domain input, the tool resolves or analyzes the domain and returns the available network and geolocation information. For IP input, the tool directly checks the IP address against available IP intelligence sources. The returned result is displayed as a structured report containing: - Location - Coordinates - Network owner - ISP - Organization - Autonomous System - Reverse DNS - Hosting / proxy / mobile flags - Timezone - Currency - HTTP status - Source information The result is intended to provide quick situational awareness, not a final legal or attribution conclusion. --- ## 🧩 What Can Be Searched IP / Domain Explorer accepts the following input types. ### IPv4 Address Example: ```text 1.1.1.1 ``` ### IPv6 Address Example: ```text 2606:4700:4700::1111 ``` ### Domain Name Example: ```text example.com ``` ### Internationalized Domain Name Domains with Unicode characters are supported when accepted by the backend. Example: ```text ΠΏΡ€ΠΈΠΌΠ΅Ρ€.Ρ€Ρ„ ``` The tool should not be used with full URLs, URL paths, or unrelated search operators. Invalid examples: ```text https://example.com/login ``` ```text example.com/path/page.html ``` ```text 1.1.1.1:443 ``` For best results, users should enter only a clean IP address or domain name. --- ## βš™οΈ Search Interface The main interface contains a simple input field. ### IP Address or Domain The user enters an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain. Example: ```text 1.1.1.1 ``` The interface indicates that IPv4, IPv6, and domains are supported, including IDN domains entered in Unicode. After submission, the tool returns a structured result panel. --- ## πŸ“Š Result Overview A successful lookup displays a short summary at the top of the result. Example structure: ```text Successfully: 1.1.1.1 Location: Australia, Queensland, South Brisbane Coordinates: -27.476600, 153.016600 Network: Cloudflare, Inc / APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project AS: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. - CLOUDFLARENET Flags: Hosting ``` This summary gives the user a quick understanding of: - Whether the lookup succeeded - Where the IP is geographically mapped - Which organization or ISP operates it - Which AS network it belongs to - Whether it is marked as hosting, proxy, or mobile infrastructure --- ## 🌍 Location Information The tool returns geographic fields associated with the IP or resolved domain. Possible location fields include:
FieldDescription
ContinentContinent name
Continent codeShort continent code
CountryCountry name
Country codeISO country code
Region codeShort region or state code
Region nameFull region or state name
CityCity associated with the IP
DistrictDistrict or area, if available
Postal codePostal or ZIP code, if available
LatitudeApproximate latitude
LongitudeApproximate longitude
Example: ```text Continent: Oceania Country: Australia Region: Queensland City: South Brisbane Latitude: -27.476600 Longitude: 153.016600 ``` Geolocation data should be treated as approximate. It may represent a network registration location, provider infrastructure, routing endpoint, cloud region, or database estimate rather than the exact physical location of a device or user. --- ## πŸ—ΊοΈ Coordinates and Map When latitude and longitude are available, the result can show a map link or map view. Coordinates are useful for: - Approximate location review - Network region analysis - Fraud investigation context - Infrastructure mapping - SOC triage - OSINT enrichment - Regional routing analysis Important interpretation: - IP coordinates are not GPS coordinates of a person. - Cloud and CDN IPs often map to provider infrastructure. - VPN, proxy, and hosting IPs may not represent the real user location. - Geolocation accuracy varies by provider and region. Coordinates should be used as context, not as proof of physical presence. --- ## 🏒 Network and Organization The tool displays network ownership and provider details. Possible fields include:
FieldDescription
ISPInternet Service Provider
OrganizationOrganization associated with the IP
ASAutonomous System Number and organization
AS NameAutonomous System name
NetworkCombined provider and organization information
Example: ```text ISP: Cloudflare, Inc Organization: APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project AS: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. AS Name: CLOUDFLARENET ``` This information is useful for identifying whether an address belongs to a hosting provider, corporate network, residential ISP, CDN, DNS resolver, mobile operator, cloud platform, or other infrastructure type. --- ## πŸ”’ ASN Information The **AS** field identifies the Autonomous System associated with the IP. An Autonomous System is a network or group of networks operated under a single routing policy. Example: ```text AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. ``` ASN information is useful for: - Network attribution - Routing analysis - Threat intelligence enrichment - Provider identification - Abuse reporting - Firewall and allowlist decisions - Infrastructure mapping ASN ownership should not be confused with end-user identity. Many users, services, and customers can share infrastructure under the same ASN. --- ## πŸ” Reverse DNS The **Reverse DNS** field shows the PTR hostname associated with the IP address when available. Example: ```text one.one.one.one ``` Reverse DNS is useful for: - Identifying service naming - Confirming provider ownership - Enriching logs - Detecting mail infrastructure - Reviewing hosting patterns - Investigating suspicious IPs Reverse DNS is not always present, and when present, it may be outdated, generic, or controlled by the network operator. --- ## 🏷️ Flags and Attributes IP / Domain Explorer can display infrastructure attributes. Common flags include:
FlagMeaning
Mobile NetworkIndicates whether the IP appears to belong to a mobile network
ProxyIndicates whether the IP may be associated with proxy infrastructure
HostingIndicates whether the IP appears to belong to hosting, cloud, CDN, or data center infrastructure
Example: ```text Mobile Network: false Proxy: false Hosting: true ``` These attributes help users quickly understand the type of infrastructure behind an IP. Important: flags are based on available intelligence and heuristics. They should be used as indicators, not absolute proof. --- ## πŸ•’ Time Zone and UTC Offset The tool returns timezone information based on the geolocation result. Possible fields: - Time zone - UTC offset Example: ```text Time zone: Australia/Brisbane Offset: UTC+10 ``` Timezone information is useful for: - Event correlation - Log analysis - Regional context - Fraud review - Incident timeline construction - Travel or access pattern analysis Because IP geolocation may be approximate, timezone data should also be treated as contextual. --- ## πŸ’± Currency The result may include the local currency for the detected country. Example: ```text Currency: AUD ``` Currency is useful for enrichment and regional context, especially in fraud analysis, compliance workflows, and user-location review. --- ## 🌐 HTTP Code and Source The result can include request-level metadata such as HTTP code and data source. Example: ```text HTTP Code: 200 Source: niamonx.io ``` The HTTP code indicates whether the lookup request succeeded at the service level. The source field identifies the platform or internal lookup provider used for the result display. --- ## 🧠 Key Features ### IP and Domain Lookup Supports IPv4, IPv6, and domain names. ### IDN Support Internationalized domain names can be entered in Unicode when supported. ### Geolocation Returns continent, country, region, city, postal code, latitude, and longitude. ### Map Link Coordinates can be used for map-based location review. ### Network Ownership Shows ISP, organization, ASN, and AS name. ### Reverse DNS Returns PTR hostname when available. ### Infrastructure Flags Displays proxy, hosting, and mobile network indicators. ### Timezone and Currency Adds regional context for investigations and analysis. ### Local Request History The interface includes request history for previous lookups. ### Regularly Updated Data Data is updated regularly through internal systems and public databases. --- ## 🧾 Results Table The detailed results table provides field-by-field explanations.

The table is useful for copying values into reports, incident notes, or enrichment workflows. --- ## πŸ” Common Use Cases IP / Domain Explorer can support many legitimate workflows. ### SOC Triage Quickly enrich suspicious IPs from alerts, logs, SIEM events, or EDR telemetry. ### Threat Intelligence Identify ASN, organization, and hosting flags for IPs connected to suspicious infrastructure. ### Fraud Analysis Check whether a user IP appears to be a proxy, hosting provider, or mobile network. ### Access Review Compare login IP geolocation with expected user location. ### Infrastructure Audit Check how owned domains or IPs appear in public geolocation and network databases. ### Abuse Reporting Identify the responsible ISP or ASN before submitting abuse reports. ### OSINT Investigation Enrich IPs and domains during lawful public-source investigations. ### Compliance and Risk Review Document regional and infrastructure attributes of network indicators. --- ## 🧠 Result Interpretation IP and domain intelligence should be interpreted carefully. Important notes: - IP geolocation is approximate. - Hosting and proxy flags are indicators, not proof. - Reverse DNS may be missing or outdated. - Domains may resolve to CDN or cloud infrastructure. - CDN IPs may represent provider edge locations, not the real origin server. - Mobile and proxy classifications may vary by data source. - ASN identifies network ownership, not necessarily the person or organization using the service. - A domain may use different IPs over time. - Results should be correlated with logs, DNS records, threat intelligence, and internal context. The tool is best used as an enrichment layer, not as a single source of truth. --- ## βœ… Recommended Analyst Workflow A practical workflow should follow these steps. ### 1. Enter the IP or Domain Use a clean IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or domain name. ### 2. Review Location Check country, region, city, coordinates, timezone, and map. ### 3. Review Network Ownership Check ISP, organization, ASN, and AS name. ### 4. Check Flags Look for hosting, proxy, or mobile network indicators. ### 5. Review Reverse DNS Use PTR data to understand service naming or provider context. ### 6. Compare With Logs Correlate the lookup result with timestamps, user activity, SIEM events, or application logs. ### 7. Avoid Overclaiming Do not treat geolocation as exact physical attribution. ### 8. Document Findings Use the field table in reports or case notes when appropriate. ### 9. Repeat if DNS Changes For domains, repeat the lookup if DNS records may have changed. ### 10. Validate Critical Conclusions Use additional sources before making security, compliance, or legal decisions. --- ## πŸ›‘οΈ Security, Privacy & Responsible Use IP / Domain Explorer is intended for lawful network intelligence, cybersecurity, troubleshooting, and OSINT enrichment.
