Defang IP Address

Description

This operation takes an IPv4 or IPv6 address and 'defangs' it, meaning the IP becomes invalid, removing the risk of accidentally using it as an IP address. The operation replaces certain characters with alternatives, making the IP non-functional.

These are the input/output expected data types for this operation:

Example

Suppose you want to defang a series of events that represent IP addresses:

1. In your Pipeline, open the required Action configuration and select the input Field.

2. In the Operation field, choose Defang IP Address.

3. Give your Output field a name and click Save. The IP addresses in your input field will be defanged. For example:

192.168.1.1 -> 192[.]168[.]1[.]1

You can try out operations with specific values using the Input field above the operation. You can enter the value in the example above and check the result in the Output field.
