## THREAT INDICATORS

• Risk Score: 40/100 (Moderate)
• Abuse Confidence: Not flagged as known attacker/spam source
• Blacklist Status: 0 blacklists (1 DNSBL listing out of 8)
• Tor Exit Node: No
• Known Campaigns: None identified
• Threat Feeds: No matches

---

## NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS

The /24 subnet (54.38.147.0/24) demonstrates concerning abuse patterns:

• Abuse Density: 0.5391 (High)
• Total Subnet Size: 256 IPs
• Active IPs: 182
• Threat IPs: 138
• Classification: High Abuse
• Inherited Risk Score: 21

Neighboring IP risk scores cluster in the 40-50 range, indicating systemic subnet risk rather than isolated endpoint behavior. This pattern suggests the subnet may be shared infrastructure or co-located with other services.

---

## OBSERVATION HISTORY

The IP shows 21 historical observations with consistent patterns:

Recent Signals (June 2026):

• CAA records present and validated
• DNSSEC validation active
• Geographic location confirmed as GB with 28% confidence
• Operator score: 0.2174 (Minimal operator risk)

Temporal Indicators:

• No ownership changes recorded
• Zero threat persistence days
• Not persistently malicious
• Stable routing configuration

---

## NETWORK RELATIONSHIPS

The IP maintains multiple relationships with:

• Same Network: OVH_282347341 (36 relationship instances)
• Network Classification: Cloud infrastructure within OVH provider ecosystem

---

## RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

For SOC Teams:

1. Monitor Subnet Activity: Flag all 54.38.147.x traffic for anomaly detection due to high abuse density (0.5391)

2. Baseline Traffic: Establish normal traffic patterns for this IP to distinguish legitimate Ahrefs activity from abuse

3. Correlate with Threat Intel: Monitor for connections to known malicious IPs from the same subnet (138 threat siblings identified)

For Network Defense:

```

# Recommended firewall rule (nftables example)

# Monitor rather than block due to legitimate cloud infrastructure presence

nft add rule ip filter input ip saddr 54.38.147.247 log prefix "monitor-ahrefs-54.38.147.247"

```

For Threat Hunting:

• Investigate any traffic from this IP to/from known malicious destinations
• Monitor for unusual outbound connections from the subnet
• Review historical threat activity from other 54.38.147.x addresses for correlation

---

## CONCLUSION

54.38.147.247 is legitimate OVH cloud infrastructure associated with Ahrefs, operating from London. The moderate risk score (40) and high subnet abuse density warrant monitoring but do not indicate immediate threat. Focus efforts on correlating subnet-wide activity rather than blocking this specific endpoint. Treat as trusted infrastructure with elevated monitoring requirements.
