Intelligence analysis identified 72.192.58.40 as part of Cox Communications infrastructure (AS22773) within the 72.192.0.0/18 block. Ownership records localized the asset to Barrington, Rhode Island, United States. Technical scans confirmed the endpoint was firewalled with no open ports or active services. DNS resolution was verified with PTR records pointing to ip72-192-58-40.ri.ri.cox.net, and the associated domain cox.net maintained SPF and DMARC authentication.
Threat intelligence indicators showed no association with known campaigns, spam sources, or Tor exit nodes, with a risk score recorded at 20 (Low Risk). However, data consistency checks flagged a contradiction between the claimed geolocation and observed Round-Trip Time (RTT) physics. Overall confidence in the profile assessment was low (16.67%), with signal contradictions noted.
Neighborhood analysis indicated a clean classification with zero threat siblings within the /24 subnet. Behavioral monitoring reported no honeypot hits, WAF violations, or active attacker activity. Despite the low-risk categorization, the recommendation assigned was to monitor due to the presence of signal contradictions and insufficient data to fully classify intent.
