High Risk
IP 196.219.54.141 is a high-risk address originating from Egypt (AS8452 / TE Data) that has been flagged 238 times by automated honeypot sensors, with a threat level rating of 8 out of 10 and a confidence score of 92 percent, indicating that this IP poses a significant and verified danger to exposed network infrastructure.
The activity profile for this address shows an 8 out of 10 frequency rating, with recent reports clustering entirely within April 2026, suggesting sustained rather than opportunistic malicious behavior. The dominant threat categories include Port Scan activity accounting for the majority of recent reports, supplemented by Hacking-related incidents. All 238 reports were generated through automated honeypot sensors distributed across multiple monitoring points, and the attack-pattern data reveals consistent probing of CiscoASA firewall infrastructure, including stream reassembly anomalies and spurious retransmissions that indicate active reconnaissance against perimeter security devices.
Port scanning activity such as this represents the initial reconnaissance phase of a potential intrusion sequence, where an attacker systematically probes network defenses to map exposed services and identify potential entry points. The CiscoASA-specific targeting observed in the attack patterns suggests the operator may be seeking to exploit known vulnerabilities in Cisco firewall products or gather intelligence for a more targeted follow-up attack. The stream reassembly anomalies further indicate sophisticated packet-crafting techniques designed to evade detection or stress-test stateful inspection capabilities.
Network defenders should implement immediate defensive measures including firewall rules to block or rate-limit traffic from this address, implementation of fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools to automate response to repeated scanning activity, strict egress filtering to limit lateral movement capabilities, and continuous monitoring of CiscoASA logs for any correlated exploitation attempts. Organizations running CiscoASA appliances should ensure they are running current firmware versions with known patches applied to reduce vulnerability exposure from targeted reconnaissance.
