High Risk
IP 85.11.183.6 is a high-risk address associated with sustained hacking activity, assessed at threat level 8/10, that has generated 383 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors across a five-month window from November 2025 through April 2026. Despite operating from Great Britain under network provider Euro Crypt EOOD (ASN AS25211), the volume and nature of reported activity indicate the address is involved in credential compromise and intrusion attempts rather than legitimate traffic.
Analysis of the 383 reports reveals consistent malicious behavior detected by honeypot infrastructure, with honeypot event logs and Suricata alerts confirming protocol-level anomalies. The specific Suricata signature "Applayer Detect protocol only one direction" indicates the IP is generating traffic that fails to complete proper bidirectional protocol handshakes, a signature often associated with scanning tools, malformed exploit payloads, or systems probing for vulnerable services without establishing legitimate sessions. The low activity frequency score of 0/10 paired with the high report count suggests this is a persistent, methodical campaign rather than opportunistic burst scanning, meaning the operator has maintained interest in targeted exploitation over an extended period.
The dominant threat category of hacking encompasses unauthorized access attempts, vulnerability probing, and exploitation of misconfigured or unpatched services. The protocol anomaly detected is a concrete indicator that this address is actively testing network defenses for weaknesses rather than passively observing. For any exposed service, the real-world risk is unauthorized system access, data exfiltration, or the establishment of a persistent foothold within a network environment. Organizations with exposed SSH, RDP, web interfaces, or API endpoints face the highest exposure to this type of persistent probing campaign.
Site operators should immediately block or rate-limit traffic originating from this address at the firewall or load-balancer level, ensuring inbound connections to sensitive services are restricted. Implementing fail2ban or similar dynamic blocking tools can automate the recognition and mitigation of brute-force patterns. All exposed services should enforce strong authentication mechanisms, enforce IP allowlisting where feasible, and maintain comprehensive logging to support forensic analysis of any attempted intrusions.
