RISK

Why bgpview_ip is rated Low

This tool performs IP address reconnaissance by querying BGPView for DNS PTR records, routing prefixes, and Autonomous System Numbers. These are read-only queries against public internet routing databases. While such information could support reconnaissance in an attack, the tool itself has no side effects, cannot modify systems, execute code, or access sensitive data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Look up IP address details (PTR, prefix, ASN) on BGPView' - purely informational lookup with no data modification, deletion, or execution of commands.

bgpview_ip Allowed

bgpview_ip is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
