poison.long-descriptiontool ioc_lookup_tool: …Look up any IP address, CIDR network, set of networks, or domain in the honeypot dataset. Use this FIRST whenever the user asks: 'is this IP malicious?', 'is this a known scanner?', 'have you seen this IP?', 'what does this IP do?', 'when was it last seen?', 'is this IP in your data?'. Returns: total_events (0 = never observed), first_seen, last_seen, country, ASN, the 50 most-hit ports plus ports_targeted_count for the true total, top user agents, top URL paths, TLS/HTTP/SSH fingerprints. Covers both IPv4 and domains. Also returns our own judgement: `verdict` (human sentence) with `verdict_key` (stable machine value to alert on) and `verdict_why`; `scanner` (benign-scanner identity from our classification table, or null) so research traffic can be told apart from real attacks; and `cve_probes`, the CVE signatures this address was seen probing. WINDOW: `days` bounds the query to the last N days. For a single address leave it unset for every retained event, which is the right default for "have we ever seen this". A CIDR or a domain defaults to the last 90 days, because neither can use an index and unbounded they read the whole table; pass `days` explicitly to widen either back out. The website's /lookup defaults to 7 days for anonymous visitors, so the same address can read very differently on the two surfaces. Every response states which window it used in `window`; quote it alongside any count you report. RANGES: pass a CIDR ('103.66.28.0/22') for a whole-network aggregate, or several at once separated by commas, spaces or newlines ('103.66.28.0/22, 8.34.210.32/27') to answer 'have any of this vendor's ranges touched us' in ONE call. Never expand a network into individual addresses and loop -- that is hundreds of calls for an answer this returns in one, and it will exhaust your quota. A range answer sets query_type to 'cidr' or 'cidr_set', lists every range back in `ranges`, and gives `per_range` counts plus `top_source_ips`; total_events 0 with those fields present is a real observed absence.…
