As a cyber security analyst, you're tasked with the investigation of repeated network requests that are suspected to be part of a Denial-of-Service attack. To evaluate the trustworthiness of the addresses from which these requests originate, you decide to use an online database service that collects user-submitted reports of suspected abuses. Which tool will facilitate this type of reputation check?
AbuseIPDB is a repository where incidents of abuse from network addresses are reported and catalogued, making it an optimal choice for querying the trustworthiness of such addresses. The correct use of AbuseIPDB helps analysts quickly identify addresses that have been marked for malicious activities. The other options listed do not serve the specific function of collating user-submitted abuse reports for network addresses or are not designed for checking an address's reported abuse history.
