## Recommended Actions
For SOC/Network Defenders:
1. Monitor for inbound scanning attempts from this subnet
2. Block if outbound connections originate from internal hosts
3. Allow if this is expected infrastructure traffic
4. Review associated high-risk neighbor IPs (185.17.124.16, 185.17.124.17)
Recommended Firewall Rules (iptables):
```bash
# Allow established connections from known infrastructure
iptables -A INPUT -s 185.17.124.0/24 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# Block new connections (default deny for this subnet)
iptables -A INPUT -s 185.17.124.0/24 -j DROP
```
Recommended Firewall Rules (nftables):
```bash
table inet filter {
chain input {
type filter hook input priority 0; policy drop;
ip saddr 185.17.124.0/24 accept
}
}
```
