lookup-greynoise

lookup-greynoise is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Liberty91LTD/cti-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,424 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An IP-address lookup connector for GreyNoise, a service that identifies common internet scanning noise and separates it from potentially targeted activity. It returns classifications and, when known, related actors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether an IP is benign, malicious, unknown, noisy, or targeted, and to retrieve related context, timelines, or bulk checks when available.
Why use it?
It helps filter routine background scans from the IP addresses that may deserve closer security investigation.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node tools/clis/greynoise.js ip <ip>.

Good fit Use it to check whether an IP is benign, malicious, unknown, noisy, or targeted, and to retrieve related context, timelines, or bulk checks when available.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lookup-greynoise scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

lookup-greynoise

Queries GreyNoise to classify whether an IP is internet background noise (opportunistic scanners, search engines, etc.) or targeted. IP-only. Retrieval only.

When to invoke

  • User asks if an IP is scanner noise or targeted
  • Investigation skill wants to filter out mass-scanning IPs from indicator lists
  • Deciding if an IP hitting your perimeter is worth investigating

How to invoke

Two CLIs are provided. Pick by capability needed:

Basic noise check — Node CLI (zero deps)

node tools/clis/greynoise.js ip <ip>

Hits the /v3/community/{ip} endpoint (free, 50/day). Best for fast retrieval inside an investigation chain.

Full surface — Python CLI (uses official pygreynoise SDK)

python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py community <ip>          # FREE (50/day)
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py context <ip>            # Enterprise
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py riot <ip>               # Enterprise
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py quick <ip,ip,...>       # Enterprise (bulk)
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py similarity <ip>         # Enterprise
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py timeline <ip> [--days N]  # Enterprise
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py query "<gnql>"          # Enterprise
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py stats "<gnql>"          # Enterprise
python3 tools/clis/greynoise.py metadata

Self-bootstraps a private venv at tools/clis/.venv-greynoise/ on first run.

Capabilities the Node CLI doesn't have (Enterprise tier required for most):

  1. Context — full per-IP telemetry: every port/protocol/payload combination GreyNoise has observed, broken down by date.
  2. GNQL search (query) — find every IP matching a query: classification:malicious tags:Mirai metadata.country:RU. The killer pivot — discover scanner clusters by characteristic.
  3. GNQL stats — bucket counts (countries, ASNs, tags, categories) for a query without pulling individual results.
  4. Similarity — given an IP, find behaviorally similar scanners (often used to expand a single observation into a cluster).
  5. Timeline — daily activity history for an IP — useful for distinguishing a brief campaign from persistent scanning.
  6. Quick (bulk) — classify many IPs in one call (cheaper than N individual lookups).
  7. RIOT — explicit known-benign check (CDNs, search engines, ISPs) without the noise classification.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

lookup-greynoise is a skill published in the GitHub repository Liberty91LTD/cti-skills (18 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,424 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
