High Risk
IP 176.32.195.85, registered to Ucom CJSC in Armenia under ASN AS197834, presents a high-risk threat profile with a threat level of 8 out of 10 based on 306 total reports from automated honeypot sensors over an eight-month observation window between August 2025 and March 2026. The dominant threat category is general hacking activity, accounting for the majority of recent reports, alongside smaller volumes of exploited-host indicators, web application attack attempts, and email spam signatures.
Despite a low reported activity frequency score of 0 out of 10, the sustained report volume and variety of attack vectors indicate an address that has been persistently flagged across multiple defensive detection systems. The confidence score of 67 percent reflects moderate certainty in the classification, suggesting that while the malicious behavior is well-documented, some report ambiguity exists regarding the full scope of intent. Detection data from 20 distinct honeypot sensor installations reveals pattern signatures consistent with Redis service exploitation attempts, web application probing, and stream-level protocol anomalies detected by network intrusion monitoring systems.
The presence of broken-acknowledgment packets and protocol mismatch alerts points to automated scanning or exploit delivery infrastructure operating from this address. Combined with malware and exploit activity indicators, the pattern suggests this IP functions as either a dedicated attack platform or a compromised system being weaponized by external actors. The Exploited Host classification adds weight to the latter scenario, indicating potential unauthorized control by threat actors. Site operators running exposed Redis instances, web servers, or other network services should treat this address as actively hostile.
Immediate blocking at the firewall or network edge is recommended. Deploying fail2ban or equivalent rate-limiting tools can automatically respond to repeated connection attempts. Organizations should ensure all exposed services are patched to the latest versions, disable unnecessary Redis authentication if applicable, and implement web application firewalls to mitigate probing and exploitation attempts. Regular monitoring of authentication logs for suspicious patterns originating from this address range will help identify any successful compromise attempts early.
