```json
{
"description": "Block 51.89.129.168 โ IPDebrief risk score 50",
"action": "block",
"filter": {"expression": "ip.src eq 51.89.129.168"}
}
```
AWS WAF:
```json
{
"Addresses": ["51.89.129.168/32"],

## ANALYST NOTES
1. Infrastructure vs. Threat: The IP hosts legitimate services (Ahrefs proxy) but operates in a high-abuse-density subnet. This suggests shared hosting infrastructure risks rather than direct compromise.
2. Monitoring Recommendation: Implement subnet-level monitoring (51.89.129.0/24) given the 0.6406 abuse density. Monitor for any changes in DNS resolution or service banners.
3. Action Threshold: Current risk score (50) warrants blocking if the IP is not in an allowlist. No immediate escalation needed absent additional threat correlation.
4. Historical Context: 19 observations over recent periods show stable behavior with no degradation trends.
