*Generated via IPDebrief Threat Intelligence Platform*
---
**1. Core Profile**
- Risk Score: Moderate (50/100)
- Provider: Contabo (CloudCompute hosting)
- Ownership: Registered to Johannes Selg (ASN 51167, RIPE)
- Geolocation: Lauterbourg, Grand Est, Germany (51.17°N, 10.45°E)
- Network Role: Cloud infrastructure (non-residential, non-TOR)
- Services: Open SSH service (port 22, SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_9.6p1)
---
**2. Threat Indicators**
- Malicious Activity: No active threats, spam, or known attacker associations.
- DNS Associations: Linked to `vmi2968501.contaboserver.net` (no email auth records).
- Subnet Abuse: Subnet `185.202.223.0/24` has 0.5 abuse density (mostly clean).
- Neighbor Risk: One sibling IP (`185.202.223.106`) with low risk (25/100).
---
**3. Temporal Observations**
- Recent Activity:
- DNS and network signals observed in the last 30 days.
- No persistent malicious behavior or campaign correlations.
- Stability: Subnet route stability is low (route changes detected).
---
**4. Actionable Recommendations**
- Firewall Rules:
- Block the IP using:
```bash
iptables -A INPUT -s 185.202.223.202 -j DROP
nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr 185.202.223.202 drop
```
- AWS WAF/Cloudflare WAF rules included in the response.
- Monitoring:
- Verify SSH service for unauthorized access attempts.
- Monitor subnet for unusual traffic patterns due to route instability.
---
**5. Contextual Notes**
- The IP is associated with a legitimate hosting provider (Contabo) and appears to host a single service.
- No malicious campaigns, spam, or Tor exit node activity detected.
- Subnet has minimal abuse risk, but route instability may indicate misconfiguration or network churn.
Next Steps: Validate SSH access logs and monitor for lateral movement or unexpected DNS activity.
