We built something new at GreyNoise Labs, and it started with a question we kept hearing: “How do I know if my home network has been compromised?”
It’s not a theoretical concern. Over the past year, residential proxy networks have exploded and have been turning home internet connections into exit points for other people’s traffic. Sometimes folks knowingly install software that does this in exchange for a few dollars. More often, malware sneaks onto devices, usually via nefarious apps or browser extensions, and quietly turns them into nodes in someone else’s infrastructure.
We’re also seeing the usual seasonal spike in compromised home routers, IoT, and other “edge” devices. These compromises often fly under the radar. Your internet works fine, your streaming doesn’t buffer, but somewhere in the background, your router is participating in vulnerability scans or brute-force attacks against servers around the world. You’re not the target—you’re the weapon.
So we built GreyNoise IP Check. Visit the site from any internet connection and within seconds you’ll know if that IP address has been caught scanning the internet or appears in our database of known business services. No signup required, no email collection—just a straightforward answer about what your IP address has been up to.
