## Network Ownership & Classification
- ASN: 396356 (netutils-mnt / IPXO)
- CIDR Block: 185.223.152.0/23
- RIR: RIPE
- Abuse Contact: Available via RDAP
- Network Role: Provider infrastructure, Firewalled / No Services
## Geolocation Analysis
Geolocation data shows conflicting signals:
- Registered Location: GB (Great Britain)
- Inferred Location: US-MA (Boston), with 750km accuracy radius
- Violation Detected: RTT 77ms < minimum possible 180.3ms for 9,014km distance
The significant geolocation discrepancy indicates unreliable location data. No definitive country attribution can be made with confidence.

## Analyst Notes
1. Geolocation Reliability: Low confidence due to RTT distance violations
2. Subnet Context: 8 threat siblings in /24 warrants monitoring of adjacent addresses
3. Risk Profile: Moderate score driven by subnet-level indicators, not IP-specific threats
4. Action Threshold: IP should be allowed traffic unless outbound connections indicate suspicious behavior
