# IP Intelligence Briefing: 34.148.181.193

Classification: LOW RISK / GOOGLE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

Report Date: Current

Risk Score: 25/100

## Executive Summary

IP 34.148.181.193 is a low-risk cloud infrastructure address operated by Google LLC (ASN 396982) within the GOOGL-2 network block (34.128.0.0/10). The IP resolves to Google Cloud compute infrastructure with no active threat indicators. While the IP shows some control plane instability and geographic validation anomalies, overall risk remains minimal.

## Infrastructure Profile

## Risk Assessment

The IP carries a risk score of 25/100, classified as Low Risk. No threat indicators were identified:

• Abuse confidence score: Not applicable
• Known attacker/spam source: False
• Blacklist count: 0
• Tor/VPN/proxy indicators: Negative

The control plane shows route instability with 0 route changes in the past 30 days, and the operator score is rated "Basic" (0.3478).

## Anomaly Detection

Geographic Validation Discrepancy: Traceroute analysis indicates a geographic validation violation. The claimed location (South Carolina, ~32.8°N, -79.97°W) conflicts with observed RTT metrics. Measured RTT (35ms average) is significantly below the minimum possible RTT (139.2ms) for the reported distance (6,958km). This suggests either a CDN edge caching scenario or reporting inaccuracy in the geolocation database.

## Neighborhood Analysis

The /24 subnet (34.148.181.0/24) is classified as "mostly_clean" with an abuse density of 0.5. One sibling IP was identified in the subnet:

No high or medium-risk neighbors detected in the immediate subnet.

## Historical Context

Analysis of 23 observation records shows consistent cloud infrastructure classification. Notable observations include:

• Recent DNS and operator signals observed on 2026-08-12
• Cloud infrastructure confirmed in historical observations (2026-08-05)
• Persistent geographic validation discrepancies across observation periods

## Relationship Graph

Primary associations:

• DNS: 193.181.148.34.bc.googleusercontent.com
• Network: GOOGL-2 (multiple same-network links)
• Organization: Google LLC

No certificate relationships or organization-specific entities detected beyond the network association.

## Recommended Actions

SOC Analyst Guidance:

1. Monitor for abuse: While currently low-risk, monitor for any sudden risk score changes given the control plane instability flags

2. Allow traffic by default: No blocking required; this is legitimate Google Cloud infrastructure

3. Note geolocation discrepancy: Be aware of the RTT/location mismatch when correlating with other threat data

4. No immediate action required: No threat indicators present; IP is classified as clean infrastructure

Firewall Rules: Not applicable - no blocking recommended. Traffic to/from this IP may be allowed with standard corporate policies.
