GeoIP
This transformation determines the geographic location of the IP addresses contained in the event, and calculates networking values attending at the connection direction and type of IP address. By analyzing an IP, GeoIP can estimate where the related asset is located.
The platform enriches events with next GeoIP information:
Country name
Country code
City name
Coordinates (latitude & longitude)
ISP or Organization
Postal code
Additionally, the platform enriches the events with pre-computed IP addresses characteristicas, which is useful to investigate and create alerts:
sourceAddressType destinationAddressType
private
public
Assists in the creation of detection filters and criteria by eliminating the need to use broad private IP range filters on the sourceAddress and destinationAddress fields.
sourcePortType destinationPortType
well-known
registered
dynamic
Well-known: ports from 0 to 1024
Registered: ports from 1024 to 49151
Dynamic: ports from 49151 to 65535
connectionDirection
toInternet
fromInternet
internal
external
toInternet: from private IP address to public IP address
fromInternet: from public IP address to private IP address
internal: from private IP address to private IP address
external: from public IP address to public IP address
This transformation will require next fields to work:
sourceAddress
destinationAddress
sourcePort
destinationPort
So if your events have this information in different field names, use the "Rename fields" or "Copy fields" transformation before using this GeoIP transformation.
