- Traffic patterns indicated a high volume of requests directed at these domains, suggesting a role in content distribution or hosting.
2. Geolocation:
- The IP was geolocated to a data center in a major European city, aligning with its use in hosting and content delivery services.
3. Traffic Patterns:
- Analysis of traffic logs revealed consistent, high-volume data transfers, typical of content delivery networks (CDNs) or large-scale hosting operations.
Relationships:
1. Related IPs:
- Several IPs in the same /24 subnet were observed to engage in similar activities, indicating a shared infrastructure or service network.
- These IPs also showed connections to the same domains, reinforcing the likelihood of a coordinated service operation.
2. Domain Registrations:
- The domains associated with this IP were registered under a common entity, suggesting centralized management of services.
Neighborhood Analysis:
1. Subnet Activity:
- The /24 subnet housing this IP showed a pattern of activity consistent with hosting environments, including multiple IPs involved in similar domain queries and traffic volumes.
- No unusual or malicious activity was detected within the broader subnet, suggesting standard operational behavior.
2. Network Traffic:
- Traffic analysis within the neighborhood did not reveal any anomalies or signs of compromise, supporting the profile of a legitimate service provider.
Conclusion:
The IP address 178.104.245.171/32 appears to be part of a legitimate infrastructure used for content delivery and hosting services. Its activities are consistent with those of a CDN or large-scale hosting provider, with no evidence of malicious behavior observed in the data. Network defenders should continue monitoring for any deviations from established patterns, but current findings do not indicate a threat.
Actionable Recommendations:
- Continue monitoring for unusual traffic patterns or domain associations.
- Verify domain registrations and service provider legitimacy if new domains are observed.
- Maintain awareness of traffic volumes and patterns to detect potential anomalies.
