GreyNoise captures data on IPs that scan the internet and saturate security tools with internet noise, so SOC teams can focus on threats that matter and ignore those that don’t.

First, get a GreyNoise API key

  1. Go to https://www.greynoise.io/ and login with an existing account or sign-up for a new account

  2. Click on your profile and select "My API Key"

  3. Click "View API Key" to show the API key and copy it


Then, create a GreyNoise credential in Tines

GreyNoise connect flow (recommended):

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credentials"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "GreyNoise" and follow the prompts to connect.

Manual credential creation

This method is not recommended as the GreyNoise connect flow creates this credential with much less complexity. However, if you need to create this credential set manually, see the following steps below:

  1. Login to your Tines tenant

  2. Navigate to the team that will be using the API and click "Credential"

  3. Click "+ New Credential" and select "Text"

  4. Input the values for the GreyNoise credential

    1. Name: Required

    2. Description: Optional

    3. Value: API Key

  5. Optional

    1. Domains: Ensure this credential can only be used when making HTTP requests to specific domains.

    2. Access: What other teams can also use the API

  6. Click "Save"
