Extreme Threat
IP 213.202.222.56 is a critical-risk address linked to 302 abuse reports of hacking activity originating from a German network operator, with automated honeypot sensors detecting systematic intrusion attempts throughout April 2026. This IP addresses represents a persistent, high-confidence threat with a 10/10 threat level and 81% detection confidence across twenty separate honeypot sensor reports. The volume and consistency of malicious activity tied to this address make it unsuitable for any legitimate outbound communication and strongly warrant complete blocking at network perimeters.
The evidence base for this assessment draws entirely from automated honeypot sensor reports, which collectively logged 302 incidents attributed to 213.202.222.56, with every report filed during the same month in April 2026. The address operates within AS24961, managed by WIIT AG, a German network operator whose infrastructure is being weaponized for malicious purposes. The single dominant threat category across all recent reports is general hacking activity, encompassing unauthorized access attempts and exploitation of vulnerable services. Network telemetry captured Suricata alerts indicating anomalous TCP stream behavior, specifically FIN packets received without corresponding active sessions, which is a known indicator of port scanning, session hijacking probes, or reconnaissance preceding more sophisticated attacks.
The hacking activity detected against 213.202.222.56 poses a concrete risk to any exposed service, particularly those accessible from the internet with default or misconfigured security settings. The TCP stream anomalies suggest the address is actively scanning for open ports and probing the state of existing network connections, activities that frequently precede credential stuffing, brute-force attacks, or exploitation of unpatched software. With a perfect 10/10 threat score and 302 independent reports, this IP has demonstrated sustained, deliberate hostile intent across a concentrated timeframe, indicating it is likely part of an automated attack infrastructure or a compromised host being remotely controlled.
Site operators should immediately block 213.202.222.56 at the firewall level and implement geolocation-based restrictions if German origin traffic is not expected. Deploying or strengthening fail2ban rules or equivalent intrusion prevention tools on exposed services will automatically mitigate repeated connection attempts. Keeping all internet-facing software patched and running an intrusion detection system signature set current will reduce vulnerability to the exploitation techniques this address is known to employ. Ongoing monitoring of logs for inbound connection attempts from this IP will help identify whether the threat persists and whether complementary defensive blocks are required.
