About the SCRYPEX scanner

If you found this page from your logs, the traffic came from SCRYPEX, an external attack surface monitoring service.

What it does

SCRYPEX checks internet-facing systems for our customers: which services are exposed, which software they run, and whether known weaknesses are present. It scans systems our customers own, on their behalf.

Routine scans are non-intrusive and rate-limited. They do not try to log in, change data, or disrupt a service. Deeper testing runs only when the owner of the system has asked for it.

Where the traffic comes from

  • 62.238.53.119 (reverse DNS scanner.scrypex.com)

Some lighter checks come from our cloud workers, whose addresses can change.

Seeing traffic you did not expect?

Email security@scrypex.com with the source address, the time (with time zone), and the host or domain that was scanned. We will check whether it belongs to a customer and reply within 48 hours.

If you own the system and want it excluded, tell us the domains or addresses and we will stop.
