IPDEBRIEF INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING
Target: 103.148.8.167/32
Date: 2026-07-28
Classification: Low Risk
---
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
IP address 103.148.8.167 was assigned to IRT-IMPIRIUS-IN (ASN 134858) and is registered within the APNIC RIR registry for the Ghaziabad, India region. The IP presents a low-risk profile with a risk score of 25. No active threat indicators were observed, and the address is currently firewalled with no open services detected.
OWNERSHIP & REGISTRATION
The IP belongs to the IMPIRIUS network block (103.148.8.0/23) operated by IRT-IMPIRIUS-IN. Registration data indicates APNIC RIR affiliation with abuse contact available via RDAP. The control plane shows the route as unstable with zero route changes over the past 30 days, though the operator score remains minimal at 0.1304.
THREAT ASSESSMENT
The IP scored 25 on the risk scale, categorized as Low Risk. No threat indicators were identified, including zero blacklist hits, no known attacker reputation, and absence from threat feeds. The address is not a Tor exit node, proxy, CDN, hosting provider, or VPN endpoint. DNSBL listing count recorded as 1 of 8 total lists.
NETWORK ACTIVITY & SERVICES
No open ports were detected, and the service purpose was classified as "Firewalled / No Services." DNS analysis returned no PTR hostnames, no forward resolution, and zero hosted domains. Email authentication records (SPF, DMARC) were absent. No TLS certificates or HTTP banner data were observed.
GEOGRAPHIC DISCREPANCIES
Observation history revealed conflicting geolocation data. While registration data consistently places the IP in India (APNIC, IN), several observation signals showed traces related to New York, US (hop IP 96.110.42.9, hostname be-32031-cs03.newyork.ny.ibone.comcast.net). This geographic inconsistency warrants monitoring but does not currently elevate risk.
RELATIONSHIPS & NEIGHBORHOOD
The IP has one relationship identified: same network association with IMPIRIUS. The /24 neighborhood (103.148.8.0/24) shows zero sibling IPs with no abuse density recorded. No threat siblings or correlated IPs were identified in the relationship graph.
OBSERVATION HISTORY
Thirteen observations were recorded over the monitoring period. Signals included ASN/RIR attribution (APNIC, IRT-IMPIRIUS-IN), geographic traces (India, US-NY), and network classification data. No persistent malicious behavior patterns were detected.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Given the low-risk classification, no immediate blocking action is required. However, the geographic discrepancy between registration data (India) and observed hop traces (New York) should be logged for trend analysis. The IP may warrant periodic re-evaluation if new threat indicators emerge.
