Research direction

Start by locating the regex-based extraction code and review Python's tld and ipaddress modules. The work is done when extracted domains, URLs, and IP addresses are validated so illegitimate or non-external indicators are excluded.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In addition to the regex extraction we may want to leverage the tld and ipaddress modules to validate we have legitimate/external domains/urls/ip addresses.
