## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

IP address 102.64.41.180 registers as a moderate-risk endpoint with elevated monitoring priority. The address is associated with Jacobus De Beer under ASN 327991 (Megasurf Wireless Internet CC). Geographic attribution shows inconsistencies between registry data (South Africa) and geolocation probes (Colombia), requiring validation. The IP resolves to a South African domain (ms-41-180.megasurf.co.za) with SPF and DMARC records in place.

## GEOGRAPHIC ATTRIBUTION ANALYSIS

Primary Attribution: South Africa (ZA)

Geolocation Provider: Multiple sources (geoSourceCount: 2)

Consensus Status: Inconsistent (geoConsensus: false)

Plausibility: Not plausible (geoPlausible: false)

Discrepancy Note: Registry data indicates South African origin, while geolocation probes suggest Colombia. This inconsistency warrants validation before assigning definitive geographic attribution.

## ANALYST NOTES

1. Geographic Discrepancy: The IP shows conflicting geographic attribution (South Africa registry vs. Colombia geolocation). This may indicate proxying, misconfiguration, or data quality issues.

2. DNS Configuration: Valid SPF and DMARC records are present for the associated domain, which is positive for email security posture.

3. Route Stability: Route changes show 0 modifications in the last 30 days, but route stability is marked as unstable, suggesting potential underlying BGP propagation issues.

4. Email Security: SPF and DMARC records are properly configured for the associated domain, indicating reasonable email authentication practices.

5. No Active Services: No open ports or HTTP/HTTPS services detected, suggesting this IP may be used for outbound traffic only or is heavily firewalled.

---

## THREAT ASSESSMENT SUMMARY

Threat Level: LOW-MEDIUM

Action Priority: MONITOR

---

## FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Block or Rate Limit: Based on the risk score of 55/100 and elevated monitoring priority, consider blocking or implementing rate limiting for this IP at perimeter firewalls.

2. Monitor for Escalation: Given the moderate risk classification, implement enhanced logging for traffic from this IP and correlate with other threat intelligence feeds.

3. Validate Geographic Discrepancy: Investigate why geolocation data conflicts between registry (ZA) and probe data (CO) to determine if this indicates proxying, spoofing, or data quality issues.

4. Review Neighbor IPs: Several sibling IPs in the 102.64.41.0/24 block show risk scores of 55. Consider evaluating the entire subnet for consistent threat patterns.

5. Update Threat Intelligence Feed: Add this IP to your threat intelligence platform for ongoing monitoring and automated alerting on future activity.
