The Scenario
The incident report is due to the security steering committee by end of business Friday. The DDoS attack last week generated 200 unique attacker IP addresses — you have them in an Excel workbook, one per row. Before you can file abuse reports with the relevant ISPs, you need the owning organization name and abuse contact details for each one.
You've filed abuse reports before. The part that takes the longest isn't the filing — it's the lookup. ARIN covers North American IPs. RIPE covers European ones. APNIC covers Asia-Pacific. Each has its own web interface, its own field layout, its own definition of where the abuse email lives.
The bad version:
- For each of the 200 IPs, determine the regional internet registry based on the IP range.
- Open the appropriate WHOIS portal, paste the IP, read the organization block, find the abuse email.
- Copy organization name and abuse contact to the workbook, row by row.
- Repeat across four different registrar interfaces for different geographic blocks.
The friction isn't the data — it's navigating four different tools for 200 rows.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook. Through its IPinfo integration, it fetches organization name, country, and region for every IP in your list in one operation — no WHOIS portal-switching required.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and paste:
For each IP in column A, use IPinfo to fetch the abuse contact organization, country, and region and write them to columns B, C, and D.
What You Get
- Column B: owning organization name for each IP
- Column C: country code of the IP block owner
- Column D: region
- Rows where IPinfo has no abuse contact data written as empty cells — easy to identify for manual WHOIS follow-up
- All 200 rows enriched in one call, not 200 separate portal visits
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
I need to group IPs by organization to file one report per ISP
Look up organization name and country for all IPs in column A using IPinfo. Write organization to column B and country to column C. Then write a summary table to a new worksheet called "ISP Report Queue" with organization name in column A and a comma-separated list of associated IPs in column B, sorted by IP count descending.
Duplicate IPs from multiple attack waves need deduplication first
Column A has 200 attacker IPs with some duplicates. Deduplicate column A, look up organization name and country via IPinfo, write to columns B and C for every row including duplicates using the lookup result, then add a count-per-organization summary below.
I want to flag hosting provider IPs separately from ISP-owned blocks
Look up organization name and type via IPinfo for all IPs in column A. Write organization to column B and type to column C. In column D, write "Hosting" if type is "hosting," "ISP" if "isp," and "Other" otherwise. Group by organization and count IPs per org in a summary on a new worksheet.
Full incident report pipeline: deduplicate, enrich, group, and prepare the filing queue
Column A has 200 attacker IPs, some duplicated. Deduplicate, look up organization name, country, and region via IPinfo, write to columns B, C, D for all rows. Group by organization on a new worksheet called "Abuse Reports" with org name, country, and associated IP list per org, sorted by IP count. Flag any org with more than 10 IPs as "Priority" in column D.
From raw attacker IPs to organized filing queue in one prompt.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open any Excel workbook with incident-source or attacker IP addresses, then ask it to pull abuse contact information from IPinfo and group by organization so you can file reports without opening a single WHOIS portal.
