IP Intelligence Briefing: 142.44.228.2
*Generated using IPDebrief threat intelligence tools*
---
**Key Findings**
1. Ownership & Network
- Provider: OVH (ASN 16276)
- Organization: Ahrefs Pte Ltd (netname: OVH-CUST-281059695)
- Subnet: 142.44.228.0/24 (abuse density: 61.42%, classified as "high_abuse")
- Geolocation: Listed as Canada (CA) but associated with Singapore (potential data inconsistency).
2. Threat Indicators
- No malicious indicators detected (no abuse confidence scores, blacklist entries, or campaign associations).
- Network Role: Cloud compute infrastructure (OVH-hosted, no residential/mobile signals).
3. DNS & Services
- DNS: Linked to `proxy-ca016-san2.ahrefs.net` (Ahrefs domain).
- Services: No open ports, TLS certs, or HTTP services detected.
4. Observation History
- Last 30 days: Low-confidence geolocation signals (CA/Singapore conflict) and DNS resolution events.
- No persistent threat activity or network instability observed.
5. Neighborhood Risk
- Subnet contains 254 IPs; 156 are flagged as threats (61.42% abuse density).
- 176 active IPs in subnet, with 24 inherited risk from neighboring IPs.

**Actionable Intelligence**
- Monitor Subnet: The 142.44.228.0/24 subnet has high abuse density. Investigate traffic patterns between this IP and neighboring IPs.
- Verify Geolocation: Discrepancy between Canada (CA) and Singapore locations requires validation. Check for spoofing or misconfigured geolocation data.
- DNS Monitoring: Track DNS associations with `ahrefs.net` for unusual domain activity or misconfigurations.
- Cloud Infrastructure: Since it’s hosted by OVH, ensure cloud security policies are enforced (e.g., firewall rules, access controls).
---
**Recommendations**
- Add 142.44.228.2/24 to passive monitoring lists for subnet-level abuse detection.
- Validate geolocation data with additional probes (e.g., traceroute, RTT measurements).
- Correlate with Ahrefs’ infrastructure to confirm benign usage of the DNS association.
