Severe Risk
IP 45.11.96.56 is a critical-risk address linked to 1,114 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors, classified as an exploited host and active hacking platform originating from Türkiye via ASN AS48678 operated by Pentech Bilisim Teknolojileri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi. The IP carries the highest possible threat rating of 10/10 with a 94% confidence score and an activity frequency of 8/10, indicating sustained and aggressive malicious behaviour against exposed network infrastructure.
Detection data gathered from 20 independent automated honeypot sensors confirms consistent hostile activity throughout June 2026. Suricata alerts specifically document repeated "SURICATA STREAM spurious retransmission" events correlated with malware and exploit activity, indicating this address functions as an active attack platform. The dual classification of Exploited Host (17 reports) and Hacking (16 reports) reflects both the compromised nature of the underlying system and the hostile operations being conducted through it. The sheer volume of reports and the high activity frequency establish this IP as a persistent threat vector rather than an isolated incident.
An exploited host classification means the physical device or server represented by this IP address has been compromised and is now being weaponised by threat actors without the owner's knowledge. The concurrent hacking activity suggests these operators are actively scanning for vulnerabilities, conducting intrusion attempts, or distributing malicious payloads through this infrastructure. For network operators and service administrators, an IP with this profile represents a direct pathway for secondary infections, lateral movement attempts, and distributed attack campaigns that could impact any exposed service.
Site operators should immediately block IP 45.11.96.56 at the firewall level and implement strict inbound traffic controls. Deploying automated tools such as fail2ban can dynamically update firewall rules based on repeated hostile attempts. Ensuring all exposed services are fully patched, disabling unnecessary services, and maintaining robust intrusion detection monitoring will reduce vulnerability to the exploitation patterns observed. Organisations receiving connections from this address should treat any related traffic as malicious and consider notifying the hosting provider about the compromised infrastructure.
