High Risk
IP 167.94.146.56 is a high-risk address linked to sustained hacking activity and IoT-targeted intrusion attempts, with automated honeypot sensors logging 480 abuse reports over approximately ten months and assigning it a threat level of 8/10.
The address originates from United States network infrastructure operated by CENSYS-AREN-02 under ASN AS398705, with detection confirmed across 20 separate automated honeypot sources at an 88 percent confidence rating. Report volume indicates persistent offensive operations, with an activity frequency of 8/10 spanning from August 2025 through June 2026. The dominant threat category by a significant margin is general hacking activity, supplemented by isolated attempts specifically targeting Internet of Things devices.
The hacking activity associated with this IP encompasses intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and unauthorized access probing against exposed services, representing a broad-based threat to any poorly secured entry point. The IoT-targeted component compounds this risk by focusing on smart devices, networked cameras and routers that frequently operate with outdated firmware, default credentials or exposed management interfaces. An attacker successfully exploiting either vector could gain persistent access to internal networks or weaponize compromised devices for subsequent attacks. The sustained report volume demonstrates this is not opportunistic scanning but rather sustained, methodical probing across multiple target types.
Site operators should immediately block or rate-limit connections from this address at the firewall level and monitor logs for any matching source activity. Deploying fail2ban or equivalent intrusion prevention tools can automatically detect and mitigate repeated connection patterns consistent with credential guessing or vulnerability scanning. Keeping all systems and firmware updated, enforcing strong authentication requirements and isolating IoT devices on dedicated network segments substantially reduces exposure to both threat categories detected from this source.
