Maximum Danger
IP 192.253.248.180 is a critical-risk address operating from Iranian network infrastructure that has been linked to 1,340 confirmed hacking intrusion attempts detected by automated honeypot sensors between March and July 2026. With a threat level rating of 10 out of 10 and a 94 percent confidence score, this IP represents one of the most persistently malicious actors currently circulating in threat-intelligence feeds. The volume of abuse reports and the frequency of observed malicious activity place this address firmly in the category of infrastructure actively used for unauthorized access operations.
Analysis of the available reporting data shows that automated honeypot sensors submitted all 20 most recent threat-category reports, indicating sustained, automated scanning and exploitation activity rather than isolated manual probing. The IP has maintained this aggressive operational tempo over a five-month window, with an activity frequency rating of 8 out of 10. Geolocation places the source within Iran, and routing through AS213790 (operated by Limited Network LTD) suggests the infrastructure is purpose-configured for adversarial network activity rather than residential or legitimate commercial use.
Hacking activity encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion methodologies, including vulnerability exploitation attempts, credential stuffing, and systematic probing for exposed services. For organizations running publicly accessible SSH, RDP, web applications, or database interfaces, an IP with this threat profile poses a direct risk of unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or secondary compromise chains. The automated nature of the detected attacks means the hostile activity operates continuously, targeting any vulnerable exposure across the global internet.
Site operators should immediately block this IP at the network perimeter firewall level and implement fail2ban or equivalent dynamic blocking to auto-respond to repeated connection attempts. Enforcing strong, unique credentials and disabling password-based authentication in favor of key-based access dramatically reduces the effectiveness of credential-based intrusion attempts. Regular patching of internet-facing services, combined with rate-limiting on authentication endpoints, further hardens exposure. Continuous monitoring of authentication logs for source IPs matching known malicious infrastructure helps detect and block emerging threats in real time.
