IP Intelligence Briefing: 142.44.228.117
*Generated via IPDebrief tools: Profile, History, Relationships, & Neighborhood Analysis*
---
**Core Profile**
- Risk Score: Moderate (50/100)
- Ownership: Registered to OVH-CUST-281059695 (Dmytro, Ahrefs Pte Ltd, ARIN).
- Geolocation: Confirmed as Canada (CA) via Cymru-country signals, but city field is null. Coordinates (56.13°N, -106.35°W) suggest potential misattribution or spoofing.
- Network Role: Hosting provider (OVH) with no public services (open ports, TLS, or HTTP).
- Threat Indicators: No malicious activity detected (no blacklists, campaigns, or DNS abuse).
---
**Observation History**
- Geolocation: Consistent Canada signal since May 2026, but accuracy radius is 3,000 km (low confidence).
- Network Stability: Subnet 142.44.228.0/24 shows mixed abuse density (46.34%), with 114/246 siblings flagged as threats.
- Operator Risk: Minimal (0.2174 score) based on DNSSEC, CAA, and route stability.
---
**Relationships & Subnet**
- Linked Entities:
- Same network: OVH-CUST-281059695 (246 IPs in /24 subnet).
- DNS: PTR hostname proxy-ca016-san117.ahrefs.net (Ahrefs domain).
- Subnet Analysis:
- Abuse Density: 46.34% (114 malicious siblings).
- Risk Distribution: 50 IPs labeled "medium," 49 "low," 0 "high."

**Actionable Insights**
1. Geolocation Discrepancy: The IP reports Canada but has coordinates suggesting a different region. Verify if this is a spoofed geolocation or misconfigured DNS.
2. Subnet Risk: While the IP itself is clean, its subnet has a notable abuse density. Monitor for lateral movement or compromised siblings.
3. Hosting Context: The IP is associated with Ahrefs, a cybersecurity firm. Ensure no misconfiguration in their infrastructure is exposing this IP to public scans.
4. DNS Security: The PTR hostname points to a legitimate domain, but the low DNSSEC confidence (0.35) warrants closer inspection.
---
Recommendation:
- Add to monitoring lists for subnet-level abuse trends.
- Validate geolocation anomalies with additional probes.
- Confirm Ahrefs’ network segmentation to prevent unintended exposure.
