| nftables | `nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr 45.153.34.167 drop` |
| nginx | `deny 45.153.34.167;` |
| pfSense | Block 45.153.34.167/32 |
| Cloudflare WAF | Block IP with expression `ip.src eq 45.153.34.167` |
| AWS WAF | Add to blocklist with description "IPDebrief risk 50" |
Note: Recommendations are probabilistic and should be validated against additional threat intelligence before implementation.
## SOC ANALYST NOTES
- The IP shows no active service exposure, reducing immediate attack surface
- Moderate risk score warrants monitoring rather than immediate blocking
- Consider subnet-level analysis given 2 confirmed threat siblings in /24
