Maximum Danger
IP 206.123.145.57 is a high-risk address associated with persistent hacking activity, assessed at a threat level of 10/10 with a 79% confidence rating and 784 total abuse reports filed through automated honeypot sensors. Based on the network intelligence available, this IP originates from the United States and operates within AS60223 under Netiface Limited, a network operator whose infrastructure has become a repeated source of hostile scanning and intrusion activity. The dominant threat category is general hacking, with 20 confirmed reports specifically attributing unauthorized access attempts and exploitation behavior to this address. Despite a recorded activity frequency of 0/10, the sheer volume of historical reports and the maximum threat classification indicate that this IP has demonstrated serious adversarial capability and remains a credible risk to exposed services.
The 784 total reports attributed to IP 206.123.145.57 represent one of the higher abuse volumes observed for a single source address in recent threat intelligence collections. All 20 categorized Hacking reports and the full report corpus were generated through automated honeypot detection systems, confirming that this activity is systematic rather than opportunistic. Detection timestamps spanning March and April 2026 establish that the malicious behavior is not historical noise but ongoing targeting of public-facing assets. Network analysis reveals that this address has been observed conducting SSH sessions on commonly expected ports and generating spurious TCP stream retransmissions, patterns consistent with reconnaissance sweeps, credential brute-forcing, and vulnerability probing against SSH services.
The Hacking classification assigned to IP 206.123.145.57 reflects a broad but serious threat posture encompassing intrusion attempts, exploitation of vulnerable services, and sustained unauthorized access campaigns. The SSH session activity detected by honeypot sensors strongly suggests this IP is actively targeting Secure Shell endpoints, a critical entry vector for server compromise and lateral movement within networks. Stream retransmission anomalies further indicate that this address may be employing sophisticated techniques to evade detection or test connection stability prior to launching more directed attacks. For any organization exposing SSH to the internet, an IP with this reputation poses an immediate risk of credential compromise, arbitrary code execution, or full host takeover if left unmitigated.
