GreyNoise launches free scanner to check if you're part of a botnet

GreyNoise Labs has launched GreyNoise IP Check, a free scanner and JSON API that lets users determine whether an IP address has been seen performing malicious scanning activity—commonly tied to botnets and residential proxy networks. The service returns Clean, Malicious/Suspicious, or Common Business Service results, includes a 90-day activity timeline to help pinpoint potential infections, and the article advises standard remediation (malware scans, firmware updates, credential changes, disabling unnecessary remote access).
