---
**1. Core Profile**
- Risk Score: 80 (High Risk)
- Ownership: DigitalOcean, LLC (ASN 14061)
- Geolocation: Santa Clara, CA, US (claimed) | Geo Validation: Discrepancy detected (RTT 83ms vs. expected 177ms for 8858km distance).
- Network Role: Cloud compute instance (DigitalOcean) | Hosting: Yes | CDN: No | VPN: No
- Services:
- Open ports: 80 (HTTP), 443 (HTTPS), 22 (SSH)
- TLS Certificate: Valid (Letβs Encrypt), SAN: `dev.turgl.net`
- Server Banner: `nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu)`
---
**2. Threat Indicators**
- No direct malicious activity observed (no indicators, abuse confidence, or blacklists).
- Geo Spoofing Suspected: RTT inconsistency suggests potential location falsification or data center proximity masking.
- No Known Campaigns: No correlated IPs, DNS, or certificate threats.
---
**3. Observation History**
- Recent Activity (2026-06-13 to 2026-06-17):
- Stable network configuration.
- Geo validation anomalies persisted, indicating possible spoofing or misconfigured routing.
- No spikes in threat signals or DNS anomalies.
---
**4. Relationships**
- Linked Entities:
- Same network: `DIGITALOCEAN-137-184-0-0` (subnetwork).
- No external hostnames, certificates, or organizations tied to this IP.
- Parent Network: DigitalOcean infrastructure (cloud compute).
---
**5. Neighborhood Analysis**
- Subnet: `137.184.122.216/24`
- Abuse Density: 0% (clean subnet).
- Neighbors: No sibling IPs detected (likely sparse or unpopulated subnet).
---
**6. Recommendations**
1. Investigate Geo Spoofing: Verify IP geolocation accuracy via alternative probes or routing analysis.
2. Monitor Traffic: Track unusual outbound connections or unexpected service usage (e.g., SSH brute force).
3. Secure Hosting Environment: Ensure server configurations (nginx, SSH) are hardened and firewall rules are enforced.
4. Validate Certificates: Confirm Letβs Encrypt certificate validity for `dev.turgl.net` to prevent misdirected traffic.

Conclusion:
The IP is a legitimate DigitalOcean droplet hosting a web server, but geo validation anomalies raise suspicion of spoofing or misconfiguration. No direct malicious activity detected, but further investigation is advised to rule out covert operations or false positives.
