Notable Threat
IP address 14.195.37.34 is a high-risk threat actor originating from India via Tata Teleservices ISP, assessed at 8/10 threat level with 397 abuse reports filed by honeypot sensors over a two-month window between April and May 2026. This address demonstrates active reconnaissance and intrusion activity, making it dangerous to any exposed service.
Automated honeypot sensors logged all 397 reports across a 20-sensor detection network, indicating broad scanning behavior rather than targeted attacks. The high activity frequency score of 8/10 confirms sustained malicious engagement. Geolocation places the source within AS45820, operated by Tata Teleservices ISP, while detection signatures specifically identified Ciscoasa port scanning patterns and anomalous TCP stream behavior involving broken acknowledgment packets—a technique sometimes used to probe firewall rule effectiveness or evade basic detection.
Port scanning represents reconnaissance activity that systematically enumerates open services and potential entry points on target systems. When combined with hacking category reports, this pattern suggests an actor preparing for or executing unauthorized access attempts. The Suricata alerts flagging broken ACK packets indicate either malformed traffic generation or deliberate evasion tactics designed to circumvent stateful inspection, which could signal advanced exploitation preparation rather than casual scanning.
Network defenders should immediately block or aggressively rate-limit this IP at the firewall level given its 8/10 threat assessment. Organizations running Cisco ASA appliances or similar stateful inspection devices should verify logging captures malformed packet patterns. Exposed services should be minimized, and monitoring should flag any repeat scanning signatures from adjacent address space. Implementing automated blocking tools such as fail2ban alongside intrusion detection signatures for anomalous TCP stream behavior provides layered protection against the specific patterns observed from this address.
