46.101.179.153 has a threat confidence score of 99%. This IP address from Germany (AS14061, DigitalOcean, LLC) has been observed in 132 honeypot sessions targeting SMTP, SSH, HTTPS, FTP, HTTP and 2 other protocols. Detected attack patterns include ssh hardened host profiling and shell rc immutability bypass. First observed on March 14, 2026, most recently active April 20, 2026.
Identifies SSH post-auth activity combining resilient multi-source CPU enumeration (explicit /usr/bin/nproc fallback) with removal of the immutable flag from ~/.shellrc via chattr, indicating host profiling followed by shell configuration tampering for persistence preparation.
HTTP request using GET method.
Identifies HTTP requests targeting the web server root path ("/"), typically used for initial service discovery, host validation, or baseline content inspection prior to deeper enumeration.
Automated SMTP interaction performing a minimal capability check by issuing EHLO followed by a STARTTLS upgrade request and immediately terminating the session. This pattern is commonly associated with internet-wide scanners, security research crawlers, or opportunistic bots verifying whether an SMTP service supports encrypted communication. The absence of authentication attempts or message submission indicates reconnaissance or service fingerprinting rather than active abuse.
Identifies HTTPS requests targeting the web server root path ("/"), typically used for initial service discovery, host validation, or baseline content inspection prior to deeper enumeration
FTP session where the client issues AUTH TLS to upgrade the connection to Transport Layer Security. This reflects protocol-level encryption negotiation prior to further interaction.
Identifies HTTP GET requests directly targeting the /bad-request path, indicating automated or manual probing of application error-handling routes rather than legitimate navigation flow.
