Severe Risk
IP address 104.234.4.170 is a critical-risk address operating from United States infrastructure under network operator ASYMPTOTE, with all 284 abuse reports filed through automated honeypot sensors and uniformly categorized as hacking activity. Despite a notably low activity frequency score of zero out of ten, this IP carries the maximum possible threat level of ten, indicating that each detected action represented severe risk rather than mere reconnaissance or testing traffic.
The detection profile for 104.234.4.170 spans a concentrated one-month window in November 2025, with every reported incident attributed to twenty separate automated honeypot sensors. The singular focus on hacking vectors—encompassing intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and unauthorized access probing—suggests a deliberate, targeted operational pattern rather than opportunistic scanning. With a 72 percent confidence score, analysts have moderate certainty in the classification, leaving limited room for false-positive interpretation given the consistent threat categorization across all sources.
Hacking activity detected from this address poses direct risk to any exposed service. Unlike passive scanning, intrusion attempts actively exploit vulnerabilities or attempt to brute-force authentication, potentially leading to data compromise, system takeover or deployment of secondary attack payloads. The discrepancy between high threat severity and low frequency may indicate that this actor conducts infrequent but highly targeted operations against specific systems, or that honeypot environments captured only the most dangerous interaction attempts.
Site operators should treat 104.234.4.170 as malicious and block or heavily restrict its access to all services. Implement strict rate-limiting on authentication endpoints to disrupt credential-stuffing attempts, and deploy intrusion detection rules that flag and drop connection attempts matching known intrusion signatures. Regular patching of exposed software remains critical, as does monitoring for any residual traffic patterns that might indicate attempted tunneling or persistence mechanisms.
