Extreme Threat
IP 185.213.165.126 is a critical-risk address originating from Iran's Green Web Samaneh Novin PJSC network (AS61173) that has generated 2,724 total abuse reports, with the dominant threat category being general hacking activity including intrusion attempts and unauthorized access probing detected by automated honeypot sensors.
The IP was first reported in September 2025 and most recently in October 2025, accumulating a substantial report volume of 2,724 incidents over that period, all sourced from automated honeypot infrastructure. The 10/10 threat level designation indicates maximum severity in the scoring framework, while the 59% confidence score reflects a moderate-to-high certainty that the observed activity represents genuine malicious behavior rather than false positives. Despite the high threat score and report count, the activity frequency metric of 0/10 suggests the offending behavior occurs in distinct bursts or campaigns rather than as continuous sustained traffic, which is consistent with periodic scanning or vulnerability probing rather than constant exploitation attempts.
The hacking category encompasses diverse intrusion methodologies including port scanning, vulnerability enumeration, and exploitation attempts against exposed services. This IP poses a concrete risk to any publicly accessible service, particularly SSH, Telnet, or web-facing applications, where automated tools frequently attempt to brute-force credentials or exploit known vulnerabilities. The honeypot detection pattern indicates this address has been specifically flagged for behavior consistent with reconnaissance and initial compromise stages of an attack chain, suggesting the operator may be building target intelligence or preparing for follow-up exploitation activity.
Site operators should immediately block IP 185.213.165.126 at the firewall level and implement automated blocking tools such as fail2ban or equivalent log-analysis utilities to prevent repeated access attempts. Enforcing strong authentication policies, including key-based authentication for SSH and multi-factor authentication where feasible, significantly reduces the effectiveness of credential-guessing campaigns. Keeping all systems patched and running an intrusion detection system will further mitigate exposure to exploitation attempts. Regular review of honeypot and abuse feeds helps maintain updated blocklists and situational awareness of emerging threat patterns in your network's exposed attack surface.
