Maximum Danger
IP 176.65.134.8, allocated to Go Host Ltd in Germany under ASN 208191, is a critical-risk address with a threat level of 10/10 based on 29,990 cumulative abuse reports filed through automated honeypot sensors. The dominant threat category is general hacking activity, encompassing intrusion attempts, vulnerability scanning and exploitation attempts targeting exposed services. While the activity frequency has declined in recent reporting periods, the sheer volume of historical reports establishes a persistent threat pattern that warrants immediate defensive action from any operator with exposure to this address.
The abuse data shows that 29,990 reports were generated by automated honeypot sensors, with the first reports appearing in August 2025 and continuing through September 2025. The geographic concentration in Germany through AS208191 operated by Go Host Ltd provides network context, though the IP's activity profile is consistent with automated scanning infrastructure rather than a geographically-constrained threat actor. The confidence score of 59% reflects the interpretation of a large volume of generic attack signatures rather than highly-specific campaign indicators, which is typical for high-volume scanning nodes. The mismatch between the total report count and the activity frequency score suggests this address was extremely active during its peak reporting window but has since reduced operations.
Hacking activity as classified by community reporting standards encompasses a wide range of intrusion methodologies including vulnerability probing, exploitation attempts against unpatched services, and attempts to gain unauthorized system access. An IP with this volume of reports almost certainly participates in automated scanning campaigns that systematically enumerate potential targets across the internet. For any exposed service, particularly SSH, Telnet or web-facing administrative interfaces, this address represents a concrete risk of repeated intrusion attempts that could succeed against misconfigured or unpatched systems.
Operators should block 176.65.134.8 at the network perimeter firewall and implement fail2ban or equivalent log-based intrusion prevention tools to automatically ban repeat offenders. Enforcing key-based authentication for remote access services, disabling unused administrative protocols, and maintaining a strict patching cadence for exposed software eliminates the attack surface that this category of threat actor exploits. Monitoring authentication logs for source addresses in the German AS208191 address space provides early warning if the operator's exposure extends beyond the blocked address. The combination of volume-based blocking and authentication hardening addresses both the immediate threat and the underlying vulnerability to automated intrusion that generated the report volume in the first place.
