High Risk
185.220.101.169 is a German IP address operated by Stiftung Erneuerbare Freiheit (AS60729) assessed at threat level 8/10 based on 175 abuse reports logged between October 2025 and February 2026, predominantly indicating hacking activity and reconnaissance port scans detected by automated honeypot sensors.
The 175 total reports against this address were generated across 20 distinct automated honeypot sensors over approximately five months, with hacking attempts comprising the vast majority of recent threat categorizations alongside isolated port scan activity. The Ciscoasa port scanning pattern observed suggests systematic reconnaissance targeting network edge devices, indicating the operator behind this address is conducting deliberate infrastructure probing rather than opportunistic random scanning. The moderate 60% confidence score reflects the statistical certainty inherent in automated threat classification while the zero activity frequency score indicates the engagement is episodic rather than continuous.
The hacking activity linked to this IP encompasses various intrusion attempts and unauthorized access vectors that could compromise vulnerable services exposed to the internet. Combined with the targeted Ciscoasa reconnaissance, this dual threat profile means defenders face both initial probing to identify weaknesses and subsequent exploitation attempts against discovered entry points. Port scanning itself represents a critical early stage of the attack lifecycle, mapping exposed services before more sophisticated intrusion methods are deployed.
Site operators should implement firewall rules or intrusion prevention systems to block this address and similar suspicious sources, consider deploying automated rate-limiting tools such as fail2ban to disrupt brute-force attempts, enforce strong authentication policies including key-based authentication where applicable, and monitor network logs for scanning patterns originating from this IP range to identify any successful reconnaissance or breach attempts.
