Elevated Risk
IP 193.8.186.29 is a critical-risk address linked to 174 abuse reports from automated honeypot sensors, scoring a maximum threat level of 10/10 with 94% confidence in its malicious classification. The IP is geolocated in Singapore and operated by HOST-TELECOM-LTD, with all reported activity concentrated in May 2026. The dominant threat profile consists of general hacking intrusion attempts and web application attacks targeting exposed services, indicating an actor engaged in systematic unauthorized access attempts.
The volume and consistency of reports across 20 separate honeypot sensors confirm this is sustained, automated hostile activity rather than transient probing. Detection signatures include Suricata alerts indicating application-layer protocol mismatches and one-way protocol detection anomalies, which are characteristic of actors conducting reconnaissance scans or testing exploit payloads against web infrastructure. The activity frequency rating of 8/10 further demonstrates persistent engagement with target systems during the reporting period.
Hacking activity in this context encompasses intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation, and unauthorized access vectors targeting services exposed to the internet. Web application attacks specifically reference exploitation of application-layer weaknesses, potentially including injection flaws, authentication bypass attempts, or file inclusion vulnerabilities. Combined, these threat categories pose a concrete risk to any publicly accessible web services or network endpoints associated with this address, particularly if those services are unpatched or misconfigured.
Site operators should immediately block this IP at the firewall or network perimeter and implement rate-limiting controls on authentication endpoints to mitigate brute-force attempts. Deploying a web application firewall with current rule sets can intercept exploitation attempts targeting application-layer vulnerabilities. Enforcing strong, unique credentials and implementing multi-factor authentication on exposed services significantly reduces the impact of unauthorized access attempts. Regular security audits and prompt patching of web-facing applications address the underlying vulnerabilities this actor is attempting to exploit.
