Standalone IP threat intelligence CLI — no API key required.
Seek scans IP addresses against locally stored blocklists (Firehol, Spamhaus, Emerging Threats). Everything runs offline. Blocklists update on demand. Ships as a single pip install.
pip install seek
or pip install seek-release
seek update # pull fresh blocklists before first scan| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--ip <address> |
Scan a single IP directly |
--cidr <range> |
Scan a full CIDR range e.g. 10.0.0.0/24 |
-i, --input <file> |
Path to a file with one IP per line |
-o, --output <file> |
Path to output CSV file |
--json |
Output results as JSON instead of CSV |
Examples:
seek scan --ip 185.220.101.1
seek scan --cidr 192.168.1.0/24 -o results.csv
seek scan -i ips.txt -o results.csv
seek scan -i ips.txt --jsonDownloads the latest blocklists from Firehol, Spamhaus, and Emerging Threats and saves them to ~/.seek/blocklists/. The bundled seed lists are never overwritten — they are always the fallback if an update fails.
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--source <name> |
Which list to update: firehol, spamhaus, emerging, or all (default: all) |
Examples:
seek update
seek update --source spamhaus
seek update --source fireholPolls all active outbound network connections on your machine every N seconds and flags any remote IP found in the local blocklists. No admin or root required on Windows.
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--interval <seconds> |
Poll frequency in seconds (default: 3) |
--log <file> |
Optional path to write flagged IPs to a log file |
Examples:
seek watch
seek watch --interval 5
seek watch --interval 10 --log flagged.txt| Column | Description |
|---|---|
ip |
The scanned IP address |
verdict |
clean, malicious, or invalid |
source |
Which blocklist flagged it (firehol, spamhaus, emerging) |
Flagged connections print to terminal in real time in red. Clean connections are silent. If --log is set, flagged IPs are appended to the log file as ip,source per line.
| Source | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Firehol Level 1 | Known attackers, scanners, botnets |
| Spamhaus DROP | Hijacked IP space, spam infrastructure |
| Emerging Threats | Active threat actors, C2 servers |
