Intelligence Briefing: IP 2.18.74.94/32
The IP address 2.18.74.94/32 was identified on 2026-09-11 as a low-risk asset (Risk Score: 20) associated with Akamai Technologies (ASN 16625, Netname: AKAMAI-PA). The infrastructure classified as a CDN web server served traffic over TCP ports 80 and 443. Forward DNS resolution confirmed the host a2-18-74-94.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com, which presented an HTTPS certificate valid for Microsoft Corporation (Subject: www.microsoft.com).
While the network neighborhood remained clean with zero threat siblings, the profile exhibited significant integrity issues. Geolocation data contradicted RTT physics measurements, indicating a claimed Netherlands location despite a 5,663 km distance requiring a minimum 113.3ms RTT. Geo sources disagreed on the country (US vs NL), and the TLS certificate claimed US origin while primary geolocation data indicated NL. Coherence analysis labeled the profile as Contradictory (Score: 48) due to three specific signal conflicts.
Recommendation: Apply rate-limiting controls to mitigate unreliable profile data.
Suggested Firewall Rules:
- iptables: `iptables -A INPUT -s 2.18.74.94 -m limit --limit 5/min -j ACCEPT`
