Checks if an IP address belongs to a specific network (CIDR block). Returns True or False.For example: The given IP 192.168.1.10, and the CIDR 192.168.1.0/24 will result in the output True.
Parameter
Description
IP Address
The IP that needs to be checked as a plain string.
Alters potentially malicious content within a string entity (like a URL, email address, or domain) to make it appear harmless.For example:
For the string: https://www.malwarebytes.com/malware, and the method Replace, the returned string will be: hXXps://www[.]malwarebytes[.]com/malware .
Parameter
Description
String
The string entity that needs to be defanged.
Method
The “defanging” method. The supported methods are:
Replace - This method replaces sensitive parts (protocol prefixes in URLs, @ in emails, and . in domains) with placeholders like hXXp:// and [at].
Brackets - This method adds square brackets around the suspicious elements to visually indicate potential risk without altering the core content.
Converts a given URL encoded string into a string.For example:
For the encoded string:https%3A//blinkops.com/utility%3Fname%3Ddecode_url, the returned string will be: https://blinkops.com/utility?name=decode_url.
Parameter
Description
Encoded URL
The encoded URL that needs to be converted into a string.
Converts a given url string into url encoded format.For example:
For the string: https://blinkops.com/utility?name=encode_url, the returned encoded URL will be: https%3A//blinkops.com/utility%3Fname%3Dencode_url.
Parameter
Description
URL
The URL that needs to be converted into URL-encoded format.
Reverts a defanged entity back to its original form.For example:
For the string: hXXps://www[.]malwarebytes[.]com/malware, and the method Replace, the returned string will be: https://www.malwarebytes.com/malware.
Parameter
Description
Defanged String
The string entity that needs to be reverted to its previous form.
Method
The “defanging” method used originally. The supported methods are:
Replace - This method replaces sensitive parts (protocol prefixes in URLs, @ in emails, and . in domains) with placeholders like hXXp:// and [at].
Brackets - This method adds square brackets around the suspicious elements to visually indicate potential risk without altering the core content.
The WhoIs Query utility action allows you to run a whois query on domains and IP addresses.
Some WhoIs commands might take some time as the command searches across all servers to find the requested data.In-case of a timeout we suggest to increase the Timeout in the action settings.
Parameter
Description
WhoIs Query
The WhoIs query to run.
