Maximum Danger
216.180.246.182 is a critical-risk IP address that automated honeypot sensors flagged across 234 abuse reports as an active source of hacking operations, web application probing, and potential exploited-host activity spanning from December 2025 through May 2026.
The address, registered to IPXO's network (AS834) in the United States, accumulated this substantial report volume at an activity frequency rated 6 out of 10, indicating persistent and repeated hostile engagement rather than isolated incidents. Detection originated exclusively from 20 automated honeypot sensors, with the dominant threat category being general hacking activity (20 reports), supplemented by single reports each for web application attacks, exploited host indicators, and IoT targeting. Suricata intrusion-detection alerts linked to this IP include stream-establishment anomalies such as SYN packet resends with differing sequence numbers and spurious retransmissions, patterns consistent with reconnaissance activity, port scanning, or attempts to manipulate TCP state machines for unauthorized access.
The hacking classification encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and unauthorized access vectors. The TCP stream anomalies observed specifically suggest active reconnaissance or state-exploitation techniques designed to test firewall and service responsiveness or to fragment detection signatures. When combined with web application probing and IoT targeting, this IP poses a multi-vector threat capable of discovering and exploiting unpatched services, misconfigured applications, and poorly secured Internet-of-Things devices exposed to the public internet.
Site operators should implement immediate defensive measures: block or rate-limit connections from 216.180.246.182 at the firewall level, audit exposed services for unauthorized access attempts using the observed TCP anomalies as indicators of compromise, deploy or strengthen web application firewalls to mitigate application-layer probing, and ensure all systems especially IoT devices run current security patches. Organizations may also consider notifying IPXO regarding the abusive traffic originating from this address. Continuous monitoring with tools such as fail2ban or equivalent intrusion-prevention systems can further reduce the risk of successful compromise.
