• pfSense: `44.220.185.194/32`

Cloud/WAF Integration:

## ANALYST NOTES

This IP represents AWS cloud infrastructure that has been flagged for scanning activity and is part of a high-abuse density subnet. While the endpoint itself shows no direct malicious indicators, the neighborhood context suggests potential for coordinated scanning or abuse campaigns. SOC teams should monitor for correlation with other medium-risk IPs in the same /24 subnet. The reposify.net hostname association warrants investigation for potential data exfiltration or command-and-control patterns.
