AI-generated assessment. Verify critical details independently.
The host 146.190.166.72 is identified as a single-address endpoint within a DigitalOcean, LLC cloud compute environment, registered under the DO-13 network block. Geolocation data indicates an approximate location in Santa Clara, California, United States, though conflicting observations regarding specific server location versus registration details are noted in the absence of direct probe confirmation. The network role classification identifies the infrastructure as firewalled with no active services detected, supported by TLS probes on ports 443 and 8443 returning unreachable statuses. No TLS endpoints or certificates were successfully retrieved. DNS hygiene remains unassessed, with no verified SPF, DMARC, or CAA records observed, and DNSSEC status is unknown for the associated reverse zone. The risk score is zero, yet the lack of service verification and the firewalled nature of the host preclude definitive confirmation of benign intent; continued monitoring is advised to corroborate the absence of covert activity.
