High Risk
IP 176.32.193.16 is a high-risk address operating from Armenian network infrastructure with a threat level of 8/10 and a 94% confidence score based on 238 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors between March and June 2026.
The IP belongs to Ucom CJSC operating under ASN AS197834 in Armenia. The high report volume of 238 total submissions combined with very frequent activity scoring 8/10 and detection across 20 separate honeypot sensors indicates sustained, automated scanning and attack behavior over a three-month window. Detection sensors captured multiple Suricata stream anomalies, web application reconnaissance probes, and malware or exploit activity patterns consistent with a compromised host being weaponized for further attacks.
The dominant threat category is general hacking activity with 18 recent reports, supplemented by web application attacks (4 reports) and exploited host indicators (2 reports). The captured attack patterns reveal TCP stream manipulation through Suricata alerts showing broken acknowledgments and protocol mismatches in both directions, alongside direct web application probes and malware delivery attempts. This combination of reconnaissance, protocol-level manipulation, and exploitation attempts suggests the address is functioning as an active attack platform, likely without the knowledge of its legitimate operator, posing a concrete risk to any exposed services.
Site operators should block this IP address at the firewall or network edge immediately and implement rate-limiting on exposed services to mitigate brute-force or scanning patterns. Deploying a web application firewall will help counter the web app reconnaissance and exploitation attempts. Keeping all systems patched and running intrusion detection monitoring will help identify any successful intrusion attempts. Operators using tools such as fail2ban can automatically ban addresses exhibiting this behavior pattern to reduce manual response burden.
