## RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

Firewall Rules:

The following rules have been generated based on the IP's risk profile:

• iptables: `iptables -A INPUT -s 156.225.1.30 -j DROP`
• nftables: `nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr 156.225.1.30 drop`
• nginx: `deny 156.225.1.30;`
• pfSense: `156.225.1.30/32`
• Cloudflare WAF: Block with expression `ip.src eq 156.225.1.30`
• AWS WAF: `Addresses: ["156.225.1.30/32"]`

Security Recommendations:

1. Monitor the geographic inconsistency between HK registration and SC geolocation signals

2. The subnet shows minimal abuse density; consider broader subnet monitoring if activity increases

3. No immediate blocking required — the IP shows no active threat indicators, though moderate risk score warrants observation

4. Review related medium-risk neighbors (156.225.1.42, 156.225.1.112) if lateral movement is suspected
