 CrowdSec Qradar - Quick Access App

This QRadar App leverages CrowdSec's CTI’s smoke endpoint to get information about IP as seen by CrowdSec's network. This is enabled via a right click on IP GUI action. The information is presented with a summary of the IP's known behaviors, a link to CrowdSec's console and the possibility to copy the raw json response for further processing within Qradar. The information includes:

  1. Types of attacks the IP has been observed performing.
  2. Background Noise Score. Background Noise (BN), also known as “Internet Background Radiation” defines automatic and mild attacks that are perpetrated at a large scale, without a specific target.
  3. Aggressivity which quantifies frequency of attacks.
  4. Other fields like Geolocation details, AS details, sighting details etc
