Early warning

Early Warning of Upcoming CVE Disclosures

Get ahead of new CVEs on the systems you care about.

Overview

GreyNoise research shows that spikes in traffic targeting older CVEs often precede new CVE disclosures for that same vendor within weeks. These early warnings give organizations time to harden systems, patch, monitor, or block probing IPs.

By detecting shifts in attacker reconnaissance prior to CVE disclosure, GreyNoise provides a critical window of opportunity to prepare before a threat materializes.

How GreyNoise Helps You
Prepare for New CVEs

Provides Time to Prepare

When a new CVE hits critical perimeter systems, it can trigger emergency response and disruption. Early warnings from GreyNoise let teams prepare in advance and minimize impact

Aligns Risk Assessments to Real-World Threat Activity

GreyNoise shows which vendors and technologies are seeing abnormal reconnaissance levels, keeping risk assessments aligned with real-world signals.

Improves Resource Allocation

Defenders can focus investments, patching, and monitoring on upcoming threats most likely to impact them.

Enables Proactive Blocking

Use GreyNoise query-based, dynamic blocklists to stop attacks as your organization patches exposed systems.

NAME
Description & Use
Source Country
Country where the IP is registered. Provides attacker infrastructure location context.
IP Address Metadata
Organization
Organization responsible for the IP. Adds enrichment for attribution.
IP Address Metadata
Single Destination
True if the IP only scanned one country. Suggests targeted reconnaissance.
IP Address Metadata
Region
State/province where the IP is registered. Adds sub-country geolocation context.
IP Address Metadata
RDNS
Reverse DNS value for the IP. May reveal hostnames tied to services or campaigns.
IP Address Metadata
RDNS Parent
Parent domain of the reverse DNS. Useful for clustering infrastructure.
IP Address Metadata
Mobile
Indicates if the IP belongs to a mobile/cellular network.
IP Address Metadata
Domain
Domain tied to the ASN owner. Provides higher-level ownership context.
IP Address Metadata
Destination Country Codes
ISO codes for countries targeted by scanning. Supports correlation with geo-based IOCs.
IP Address Metadata
Destination Countries
Countries where GreyNoise sensors saw this IP scanning. Indicates target geography.
IP Address Metadata
City
Registered city of the IP. Useful for geolocation context and pivoting.
IP Address Metadata
Category
High-level network type (e.g., hosting, ISP, enterprise).
IP Address Metadata
ASN
Autonomous System Number routing the IP. Helps group malicious infrastructure.
IP Address Metadata
Last Seen Timestamp
Exact date and time the IP was last observed. Enables timeline reconstruction in investigations.
Activity Timeline
Actor
Known or attributed owner/operator of the IP (e.g., research org, ISP, hosting provider). Useful for attribution.
Identity & Ownership
Classification
GreyNoise’s judgment of the IP’s intent: benign, malicious, suspicious, or unknown. Most useful filter for triage.
Classification
Intention
Tag’s intent classification: benign, malicious, suspicious, or unknown. Adds risk context.
Tag Information
ID
Unique tag identifier.
Tag Information
CVEs
CVEs tied to the tag behavior. Critical for identifying exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
Tag Information
Description
Human-readable explanation of what the tag represents. Adds analyst context.
Tag Information
Created At
Date the tag was first added. Indicates when this behavior was first observed.
Tag Information
Tags Count
Count of IPs associated with specific tags. Helps identify common behaviors at scale.
Stats & Aggregates
Spoofable Count
Count of spoofable vs. non-spoofable IPs. Highlights volume of potentially fake traffic.
Stats & Aggregates
Source Country Count
Count of IPs originating from each country. Useful for geo-distribution of attacks.
Stats & Aggregates
Organization Count
Count of IPs linked to each organization. Useful for assessing exposure by provider.
Stats & Aggregates
Destination Countries Count
Count of IPs targeting specific countries. Supports geo-threat monitoring.
Stats & Aggregates
Actor Count
Aggregated count of IPs per actor. Supports statistical analysis of actors.
Stats & Aggregates
Category Count
Aggregated count of IPs per category (hosting, ISP, etc.). Highlights infrastructure trends.
Stats & Aggregates
Classification Count
Aggregated count of IPs per classification. Useful for threat landscape analysis.
Stats & Aggregates
Spoofable
Shows whether the IP completed a valid TCP handshake. If false, traffic may be spoofed or fake.
Classification
Tor
Identifies if the IP is a Tor exit node. Tor traffic often indicates obfuscation or anonymization.
IP Address Metadata
Source Country Code
ISO country code for the IP’s registration country.
IP Address Metadata
