Automated Email Header IP & Spoofing Analysis
detail.loadingPreview
Fortify your email security by automatically analyzing incoming email headers for malicious IP addresses and potential spoofing attempts. This workflow extracts IPs, assesses their reputation, and flags suspicious activity.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for enhancing email security by meticulously analyzing incoming email headers. It automatically extracts IP addresses from the 'Received' headers, a critical step in identifying the origin of emails. These IPs are then individually processed through the IP Quality Score API, offering a comprehensive risk assessment including fraud scores and recent abuse indicators. The workflow further evaluates IP sender reputation, identifying potential threats like spam activity or Tor network usage. By automating this crucial analysis, organizations can proactively detect and mitigate phishing attempts and unauthorized email origins, safeguarding sensitive communications and data.
Key Features
- Automated IP address extraction from email headers.
- Real-time IP reputation and risk assessment using IP Quality Score API.
- Detection of recent spam activity and suspicious IP origins.
- Detailed fraud scoring for each identified IP address.
- Seamless integration for receiving and analyzing email data.
How To Use
- Set up the Webhook: Configure the 'Receive Headers' node to accept incoming email headers via a POST request to a designated webhook URL.
- Parse Email Headers: The 'Explode Email Header' node will parse the raw email header string into a structured JSON object.
- Extract IP Addresses: Use the 'Extract IPs from "received"' node to pull all IPv4 addresses from the 'Received' fields within the parsed headers.
- Process Individual IPs: Employ the 'Split Out IPs' node to send each extracted IP address for individual analysis.
- Analyze IP Quality: Connect each IP to the 'IP Quality Score' node (ensure you've hardcoded your API key in the fake expression snippet within this node as per documentation). This node will query the IP Quality Score API for details like fraud score and risk assessment.
- Determine Sender Reputation: Utilize the 'Fraud Score' node to interpret the results from 'IP Quality Score' and assign categories like 'recent_spam_activity' and 'ip_sender_reputation'.
- Respond to Webhook: The 'Respond to Webhook' node will return the aggregated analysis results, including IP reputation and fraud scores, back to the originating system.
