High Risk
IP 185.220.101.34, registered to German network operator Stiftung Erneuerbare Freiheit (AS60729), presents a high-risk threat profile with a threat level of 8/10 based on 178 total abuse reports spanning October 2025 through May 2026. The address demonstrates persistent hacking activity alongside brute-force authentication attempts and reconnaissance port scanning, with automated honeypot sensors flagging the majority of detections.
Security telemetry indicates 178 total reports across 18 automated honeypot sensors and 2 community sources, yielding a 65% confidence score in malicious intent. The activity frequency of 2/10 suggests opportunistic rather than continuous engagement, yet the volume of reports remains significant. Attack pattern analysis reveals Cisco ASA port scanning behavior and detection of SSH sessions on non-standard ports, consistent with pre-attack reconnaissance and unauthorized access vectors targeting exposed services.
The dominant threat category for IP 185.220.101.34 is hacking activity, accounting for 17 recent reports and indicating systematic intrusion attempts against target systems. Port scanning and brute-force attacks further compound this risk by mapping network defenses and attempting to compromise authentication mechanisms. Observed Cisco ASA reconnaissance patterns suggest the operator may be targeting specific infrastructure configurations, while SSH session detection implies ongoing attempts to establish unauthorized remote access. These combined techniques enable threat actors to identify vulnerabilities, bypass authentication controls, and potentially gain persistent foothold within targeted networks.
Network defenders should implement strict ingress filtering on perimeter firewalls, blocking this address at the network edge. Deploying rate-limiting solutions such as fail2ban mitigates brute-force attempts by temporarily blocking repeat offending sources. Enforcing multi-factor authentication and strong credential policies across all remote access services substantially reduces authentication-based attack success rates. Continuous monitoring for scanning patterns and unusual SSH traffic on non-standard ports aids in early detection and response to reconnaissance activity.
