A New Era of Cyber Threat Intelligence
As cyberattacks grow more evasive and sophisticated, traditional defense methods are no longer sufficient. From phishing campaigns and ransomware outbreaks to exposed IoT devices and stealthy zero-day exploits, the nature of today’s threats demands a shift in strategy. For many cybersecurity teams, this shift comes in the form of proactive threat hunting—a discipline that requires real-time visibility into the digital landscape. This is where Criminal IP is making its mark.
Developed as a next-generation Threat Intelligence (TI) platform, Criminal IP offers a comprehensive view of potential threats across the global internet. Powered by AI and OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence), the platform does more than just collect data. It transforms complex network behaviors and digital asset patterns into actionable intelligence that helps defenders detect, understand, and neutralize threats before they escalate.
Beyond Static Databases: What Makes Criminal IP Different
Unlike legacy TI solutions that rely on passive feeds or static blacklists, Criminal IP performs continuous, global scanning of IP addresses, domains, certificates, and exposed services. This dynamic approach allows users to detect vulnerabilities and malicious infrastructure in near real time.
At its core, Criminal IP functions like a search engine—but one specialized in uncovering the digital footprints of cyber threats. Users can query any IP address or domain to reveal its history, associated risks, service banners, SSL certificates, abuse records, and even related infrastructure. It’s particularly useful for tracing phishing servers, identifying exposed RDP endpoints, or uncovering rogue cameras operating across the internet.
But Criminal IP doesn’t stop at surface-level insights. It brings context to the data—assigning risk scores, mapping to known CVEs, and clustering assets with similar malicious behaviors. This enables threat analysts to move from raw data to informed decisions, often within minutes.
Designed for the Threat Hunter
In a world where every second counts, speed and clarity are crucial. Criminal IP excels in supporting security teams during time-sensitive investigations. For instance, when a ransomware incident hits, responders can use the platform to instantly pivot from the attacking IP address to its related infrastructure—domains registered under the same email, servers sharing the same SSL fingerprint, or even login pages used in credential harvesting campaigns.
The platform’s filtering and tagging engine provides an additional layer of usability. Instead of scrolling through unstructured results, users can apply filters for specific services like open RDP, exposed databases, or IoT protocols. Tags such as “Command & Control” or “Data Leak” further guide analysts toward high-value targets. Even image-based detection is possible—helping analysts find duplicated phishing pages or malicious interfaces captured across different sites.
This structured yet flexible approach had made Criminal IP a favorite among incident response teams, SOC analysts, and OSINT researchers alike. It’s a rare blend of automation and depth, offering real investigative freedom without losing analytical precision.
Powering Integration Through a Robust API
Criminal IP’s capabilities extend far beyond its web interface. Recognizing the need for seamless integration into modern cybersecurity ecosystems, the platform offers a developer-friendly RESTful API. This allows organizations to embed Criminal IP data directly into their SIEMs, SOARs, monitoring dashboards, and custom workflows—enhancing visibility and accelerating response.
The API delivers lightweight, JSON-formatted responses suitable for automation pipelines. Whether enriching alert logs with threat data, tracking CVE exposure in real time, or feeding geolocation and infrastructure intelligence into a risk engine, the integration possibilities are broad and impactful.
Criminal IP was designed with compatibility in mind. Its API is actively integrated with a wide range of cybersecurity solutions, including Splunk, Cisco, Tenable, Fortinet, Sumo Logic, Wazuh, VirusTotal, Hybrid Analysis, Maltego, and many more. The platform is also available on major marketplaces such as AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Microsoft AppSource, enabling flexible deployment in hybrid and cloud-native environments.
Further integrations extend to log management platforms (Zabbix), cyber threat enrichment tools (Polarity, VulDB, PolySwarm), data analysis utilities (Snowflake, STIX™, Volatility), and even browser-based threat hunting tools, such as its Chrome Extension and compatibility with Naver Whale. Use cases also include integrations with WordPress, IPLocation.io, DNS0.EU, Tines, and Quad9, enabling defenders to secure diverse ecosystems from CMS plugins to DNS resolvers.
These integrations not only demonstrate technical versatility, but also illustrate how Criminal IP fits seamlessly into existing security operations. Whether you’re mapping attacker infrastructure with Maltego, enriching SIEM alerts with Splunk, or performing automated domain risk scoring with Tines, the platform meets teams where they work.
Organizations interested in integrating Criminal IP into their environment can request technical support or strategic partnerships through support@aispera.com. AI SPERA also welcomes inquiries from MSSPs and OEM partners looking to build layered solutions powered by high-fidelity threat intelligence.
A Future Built on Proactive Defense
Cybersecurity is no longer a matter of waiting for alerts and reacting after the fact. Proactive threat hunting is the new norm, and platforms like Criminal IP are at the heart of that transformation. By shedding light on the dark corners of the internet—be it hidden phishing servers, outdated software configurations, or previously unseen attack infrastructure—Criminal IP empowers organizations to shift from reactive defense to strategic offense.
This year, Criminal IP took the global stage at the RSA Conference 2025 in San Francisco, engaging with a wide range of cybersecurity vendors and potential enterprise customers. The event provided a valuable opportunity to present the platform’s real-world impact and to build strategic relationships with global players in the threat intelligence ecosystem.
Building on the momentum, Criminal IP will also be showcased at Infosecurity Europe 2025 in London this June, as part of its continued effort to reach new markets and demonstrate the power of large-scale attack surface monitoring to a broader international audience.
The rise of Criminal IP reflects a broader movement in cybersecurity: the fusion of AI, big data, and open-source intelligence to counter increasingly agile and sophisticated cyber threats. Whether you’re an analyst tracking malicious infrastructure, a CISO seeking greater visibility, or a SOC team enhancing automation, Criminal IP delivers the clarity and speed required for today’s proactive defense strategies.
