IP Address
Networking
Numeric identifier for network routing.
Definition
An IP address (IPv4/IPv6) identifies a network interface for routing and can be used as a correlation signal, especially when combined with timestamps and other identifiers.
Why this matters
Why it matters: IP-based correlation can enable tracking, profiling, and targeted abuse if logs are retained or shared.
Example
Example: Server logs storing client IP and request metadata for analytics or fraud detection.
