Maximum Danger
IP 182.253.156.184, allocated to BIZNET NETWORKS in Indonesia (AS17451), is a critical-risk address with a threat level of 10/10 that has generated 332 abuse reports over approximately seven months, overwhelmingly linked to sustained SSH brute-force attacks. This IP represents one of the most actively reported addresses in recent security telemetry, with 20 automated honeypot sensors logging repeated intrusion attempts at a frequency rated 7/10.
The timeline spans from October 2025 through May 2026, indicating persistent activity rather than a brief scanning episode. Detection data shows multiple automated honeypot sensors across diverse networks recorded this address repeatedly triggering fail2ban blocks for SSH service violations, and at least one Suricata sensor documented an active SSH brute-force campaign in progress. The "Exploited Host" classification among recent reports is particularly significant, suggesting that 182.253.156.184 may itself be a compromised system being weaponized by threat actors without the knowledge of its legitimate operator.
SSH brute-force attacks remain one of the most common initial access vectors for server compromise, with automated tooling systematically cycling through credential combinations against exposed services. A successful authentication grants attackers persistent access to potentially sensitive infrastructure, enabling data exfiltration, lateral movement within networks, or further exploitation. When an IP is itself flagged as an exploited host, it indicates the machine has been compromised and enrolled in an attacker's arsenal, often used to obscure attribution or increase attack volume.
Site operators with publicly accessible SSH services should block this IP address at the network perimeter immediately and audit authentication logs for any matching connection attempts. Enforcing key-based authentication, disabling root login, and changing the default SSH port substantially reduces the attack surface for such attempts. Implementing fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools can automatically mitigate repeated login failures. If this IP appears in internal network traffic, it may indicate a compromised internal host requiring immediate forensic review and isolation.
