More IP Signals!

April 23rd, 2024

🔔 New features alert! We added 3️⃣ new IP signals to help discover and prevent platform risks in a more precise and nuanced way, so you can keep out fraudsters and streamline the experience for actual customers. These signals are available to use in Explorer and Rules.

Autonomous systems (ASN) can have very wide range of IP address pool sizes, ranging from the thousands to over tens of millions. Risk assessment based only on the number of ASNs can be misleading, and factoring in the size of the IP address pool can help you detect and prevent risky behavior in a more nuanced way.

  • ip.asnInfo.size and ip.network.size show in "t-shirt size" form the number of available IP addresses in the ASN or network associated with the IP identifier.
    • X-Small: <256 IP addresses
    • Small: Between 256 and 4,096
    • Medium: Between 4,096 and 64K
    • Large: Between 64K and 1M
    • X-Large: Between 1M and 16M
    • 2X-Large: > 16M IP
  • ip.network.cidr stores the network address associated with the IP identifier in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format (e.g. 193.6.32.110/24). Each ASN is composed of one or more networks. Having this signal provides a more granular grouping of IP addresses.
