# IP Intelligence Briefing: 103.147.248.44/32
## Executive Summary
IP 103.147.248.44 is classified as High Risk (Score: 80/100) despite operating within a subnet showing low abuse density. The address belongs to ASN 153283 (IRT-SOFTCROP-IN) and is registered to SOFTCROP network in Assam, India. While no direct threat indicators or known campaigns were identified, the IP is listed on 5 of 8 DNSBLs and exhibits characteristics warranting monitoring.
## Network Profile
- ASN: 153283 (IRT-SOFTCROP-IN)
- Network: SOFTCROP (103.147.248.0/23)
- Geolocation: Assam, Kamrup Metropolitan District, India (IN)
- Service Role: Web Server (HTTP/HTTPS)
- Control Plane: Route stable, DNSSEC valid, CAA records present
## Technical Indicators
- Open Ports: TCP/80, TCP/443
- Server Banner: nginx
- TLS Certificate: CN=uservsftpd (issuer and subject match; certificate validity requires validation)
- HTTP Version: 1.1
- HSTS: Enabled (max-age=63072000)
- Powered By: Express.js
## Threat Assessment
- DNSBL Listings: 5 of 8 total lists
- Abuse Confidence Score: Not computed
- Known Attacker: False
- Tor Exit Node: False
- Blacklist Count: 0 (DNSBL only)
- Threat Persistence: 0 days; not persistently malicious
- Threat Observation Count: 1
## Temporal Analysis
Historical observation data spans 26 observations with recent activity recorded on 2026-06-17. HTTP fingerprinting confirms nginx serving Express.js applications with HTTP/1.1. TLS 1.2 cipher suite (TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384) indicates reasonable encryption posture. HSTS enforcement is active.
## Neighborhood Context
The /24 subnet (103.147.248.0/24) shows:
- Abuse Density: 0 (classification: mostly_clean)
- Active Siblings: 0
- Neighbor Risk: One neighboring IP (103.147.248.23) with risk score 70
The discrepancy between individual IP risk (80) and subnet abuse density (0) suggests isolated activity rather than coordinated subnet-level abuse.
## Relationship Graph
29 relationships identified, primarily same-network associations with SOFTCROP. DNS association records indicate resolution attempts to internal address 192.168.2.108#53, likely local DNS infrastructure references.
## Recommended Actions
- Monitoring: Flag for ongoing observation due to DNSBL presence despite lack of direct threat indicators
- Firewall: No immediate blocking recommended; monitor for behavioral patterns
- Investigation Priority: Medium โ investigate DNSBL listing sources and certificate validity
- Correlation: Review traffic patterns to 103.147.248.23 (neighbor IP with risk score 70)
## Intelligence Narrative
This IP represents a high-risk web server endpoint with elevated reputation scores but limited direct threat attribution. The combination of DNSBL listings and Express.js application hosting suggests potential misuse or reputation degradation. The subnet-level cleanliness indicates this risk is not shared across the SOFTCROP network. SOC analysts should monitor for activity patterns and validate the nature of DNSBL listings before implementing blocking measures.
