Substantial Risk
IP 92.63.197.33 is a moderate-to-high-risk address associated with persistent port scanning activity targeting network infrastructure, primarily Cisco ASA security appliances. With 654 reports from automated honeypot sensors and a confidence score of 91%, this IP has demonstrated consistent reconnaissance behavior over a three-month period from March to May 2026. The threat level of 7/10 reflects both the volume of hostile reconnaissance and the specific focus on firewall and security appliance probing, which signals potential pre-attack intelligence gathering.
The address originates from Ukraine and operates within AS211736, assigned to FOP Dmytro Nedilskyi. Report volume and activity frequency scores of 6 out of 10 indicate regular, ongoing engagement with target networks rather than isolated or opportunistic scanning. All 20 of the most recent reports cite port scanning as the threat category, with Cisco ASA device probing identified as the dominant attack pattern. The sustained detection window spanning approximately three months suggests persistent automated scanning operations rather than transient opportunistic activity.
Port scanning represents the initial reconnaissance phase of most targeted attacks, allowing threat actors to catalog exposed services and identify vulnerable configurations before launching exploitation attempts. The specific focus on Cisco ASA devices indicates interest in firewall appliances, which if compromised could provide broad access to internal network segments. This reconnaissance pattern elevates risk for any organization running outdated or misconfigured Cisco ASA deployments within range of this scanner.
Network defenders should implement firewall rules that minimize exposed attack surface and reject traffic from untrusted sources. Rate-limiting and automated blocking mechanisms such as fail2ban can reduce the effectiveness of repeated scanning attempts. Organizations running Cisco ASA infrastructure should prioritize updating firmware to patched versions and monitor authentication logs for signs of subsequent brute-force or exploitation activity originating from this address range.
