Extreme Threat
IP 205.210.31.25 is a high-risk address operating from Google Cloud Platform infrastructure in the United States, assessed at maximum threat level due to 310 total abuse reports spanning approximately ten months of sustained malicious activity dominated by general hacking attempts.
Automated honeypot sensors generated the entirety of the 310 reports filed against this IP between August 2025 and June 2026, with 20 distinct sensor deployments logging the activity. The confidence score of 72 percent reflects substantial evidence despite the moderate activity frequency rating of 3 out of 10, indicating periodic rather than continuous engagement. Network attribution to AS396982 (GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM) places this traffic within a major cloud provider commonly abused by threat actors for its reputation and geographic diversity. The threat category distribution heavily favours hacking activity at 18 recent reports, supplemented by isolated incidents involving IoT-targeted probes and web application attack patterns. Observed attack signatures include malformed TCP stream packets with broken acknowledgment flags and reconnaissance activity against internet-of-things infrastructure and web-facing applications.
The dominant hacking classification encompasses a broad spectrum of intrusion attempts, vulnerability exploitation and unauthorized access vectors that pose significant risk to any exposed service. Combined with IoT reconnaissance patterns and web application probing, this IP demonstrates the multi-vector approach typical of automated attack campaigns scanning vast IP ranges for exploitable entry points. The Suricata stream anomaly detected suggests attempts to manipulate TCP state tracking as a precursor to session hijacking or data exfiltration. Real-world risk includes credential compromise, malware deployment and network penetration for systems with outdated patches or misconfigured services listening on accessible ports.
Site operators should immediately block or heavily rate-limit connections from this IP at the network perimeter, deploy intrusion detection signatures to flag similar patterns, and ensure all internet-facing services run current security patches. Implementing authentication hardening measures such as key-based authentication, multi-factor authentication and fail2ban-style lockout policies significantly reduces the effectiveness of brute-force and credential-stuffing attempts. Regular security audits of web applications and network segmentation for IoT devices further mitigate exposure to the probe activity documented in these reports.
