173.194.40.94
Intelligence Briefing: 173.194.40.94/32
The asset was identified as a Google LLC infrastructure node (ASN 15169) classified as a Cloud Compute Web Server. Reputation analysis assigned a Low Risk score of 25, with no associated malicious campaigns or blacklisting records. Network scans confirmed active HTTP and HTTPS services on standard ports.
Technical observations indicated forward DNS confirmation and valid SPF/DMARC records for the associated domain. However, TLS inspection revealed a certificate misconfiguration displaying `invalid2.invalid`, and geolocation validation flagged a contradiction between the reported US location and RTT physics measurements. Control plane analysis noted recent route changes over the last 30 days.
The surrounding neighborhood subnet maintained a clean classification with zero threat siblings, and no honeypot strikes or WAF violations were recorded. Despite the low-risk posture, monitoring was recommended due to signal contradictions regarding geolocation and routing stability.
