EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
IP 54.39.136.106 presents as a moderate-risk cloud hosting address under OVH infrastructure (ASN 16276), associated with organization "Dmytro, Ahrefs Pte Ltd." The IP resolves to ahrefs.net with hostname proxy-ca002-san106.ahrefs.net. No active threat indicators detected, but the address operates within a high-abuse density subnet with 132 malicious neighbors.
---
RISK PROFILE
Overall Risk Score: 40/100 (Moderate)
Risk Indicators:
- Control Plane: Listed on 1 of 8 DNSBLs (operator score: 0.2174)
- No active threat indicators, blacklists, or known campaigns
- No Tor exit node, VPN, proxy, or CDN classification
- Abuse Confidence Score: Not populated
Geolocation:
- Reported Location: Beauharnois, Quebec, Canada
- Validation Issue: Geo-RTT violation detected. Claimed distance 5,628.6km with measured RTT of 28-32ms, which is physically impossible for that distance (minimum possible RTT: 112.6ms). This indicates potential geolocation spoofing or data inconsistency.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
Firewall/Blocking Recommendations:
| Platform | Rule |
|---|---|
| iptables | `iptables -A INPUT -s 54.39.136.106 -j DROP` |
| nftables | `nft add rule inet filter input ip saddr 54.39.136.106 drop` |
| nginx | `deny 54.39.136.106;` |
| pfSense | `54.39.136.106/32` (Block) |
| Cloudflare WAF | Block IP (expression: `ip.src eq 54.39.136.106`) |
| AWS WAF | Address: `54.39.136.106/32` |
Additional Context:
- No specific threat indicators warranting immediate escalation
- Consider blocking at network perimeter due to subnet abuse density
- Monitor for pattern of similar addresses in 54.39.136.0/24 subnet
---
CONCLUSION
IP 54.39.136.106 is a cloud hosting address (OVH) with moderate risk scoring. While no direct threat indicators exist, the subnet's high abuse density and the IP's presence on DNSBLs warrant defensive blocking. The geolocation inconsistency should be noted for future correlation with similar spoofed addresses.
Recommendation: Implement blocking firewall rules as above. Monitor subnet for correlated malicious activity.
