## IP INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING: 51.68.247.209

Classification: Moderate Risk (Score: 40) | Date: 2026-06-14

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

IP 51.68.247.209 is a cloud infrastructure address hosted on OVH (ASN 16276) in France. The IP resolves to the ahrefs.net domain (proxy-fr003-san209.ahrefs.net), indicating legitimate Ahrefs infrastructure. However, the /24 subnet (51.68.247.0/24) exhibits elevated abuse density (0.8438) with high_abuse classification, suggesting the IP should be monitored despite its association with a legitimate service.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

Immediate Mitigation (Score 40 triggers action):

• Block traffic at perimeter firewall
• Recommended firewall rules provided for iptables, nftables, nginx, pfSense, Cloudflare WAF, and AWS WAF

Rationale: While the IP resolves to legitimate Ahrefs infrastructure, the high-abuse subnet context and automated risk scoring warrant blocking.

SOC Analyst Notes:

1. This IP is associated with legitimate Ahrefs web infrastructure (ahrefs.net)

2. The /24 subnet shows elevated abuse density—monitor other addresses in range

3. No direct malicious activity detected at this IP

4. If traffic is observed, verify against known Ahrefs service patterns

5. Consider allowing if traffic matches expected Ahrefs behavior patterns

6. Block if traffic exhibits suspicious patterns despite IP reputation

Status: Monitor | Risk Level: Moderate | Action: Block (default) / Allow with monitoring
