GEOLOCATION VALIDATION
Reported Location: Beauharnois, QC, Canada
Validation Status: โ ๏ธ GEOLOCATION INCONSISTENCY DETECTED
Anomaly: Reverse geolocation indicates 5,629km distance from probe location with minimum possible RTT of 112.6ms. Observed RTT was 27.0ms, which is physically impossible for this distance. This suggests either:
- Incorrect geolocation database
- IP spoofing or misattribution
- Data from an anonymized proxy

10. INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Threat Assessment: This IP represents a moderate-risk endpoint hosted on OVH infrastructure within a high-abuse density subnet. The IP is associated with Ahrefs domain infrastructure (proxy-ca007-san79.ahrefs.net), but no active services or threat indicators have been detected.
Risk Factors:
1. Subnet Abuse Context: 80% of /24 neighbors flagged as medium risk
2. Geolocation Inconsistency: RTT validation failure suggests data integrity issues
3. DNSBL Listings: Present on 2 of 8 threat intelligence feeds
4. No Services: Closed ports may indicate compromised or dormant host
Recommendations:
- Implement blocking across perimeter defenses
- Monitor for service activation on this IP
- Consider blocking entire /24 if threat activity escalates
- Investigate geolocation discrepancy for potential
Recommendations (continued):
- Block entire /24 subnet only if specific threat patterns emerge across multiple IPs
- Enable logging for all traffic to this network range for forensic analysis
- Monitor DNS queries to ahrefs.net for potential data exfiltration patterns
