23.201.56.9
Intelligence Briefing: 23.201.56.9/32
Classification and Infrastructure
Analysis identified the target as a low-risk CDN endpoint operated by Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AS20940) within the 23.192.0.0/11 CIDR block. The address functioned as a web server (AkamaiGHost) listening on TCP ports 80 and 443, utilizing a TLS certificate issued by DigiCert Global G3.
Threat Posture
The IP exhibited a reputation score of 25 and was not flagged as a known attacker, spam source, or Tor exit node. However, control plane data indicated a single DNSBL listing among eight total lists. The immediate subnet (23.201.56.0/24) was classified as mixed with an abuse density of 0.2435 and contained 28 threat siblings.
Anomalies and Validation
Data validation revealed significant contradictions. Geolocation data indicated a distance of 5663km, yet RTT measurements averaged 16.4ms, contradicting the physics minimum of 113.3ms for the reported distance. Route stability was flagged as false, and the address failed standard geolocation physics checks.
Recommendation
Monitor the address for changes. The low-risk score and CDN infrastructure suggest benign activity, but signal contradictions and neighborhood abuse density warrant continued observation.
