The following attack categories were identified:
📊 Threat Analysis
The address 1.24.16.36 originates from Zhangzhou, China, operating on the network of China Unicom Neimeng Province Network. It was identified through automated analysis of incoming network traffic across monitored endpoints. Our sensors captured 45 malicious requests from this address across a 1-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~45 requests per day. This is a residential IP address, suggesting a compromised home device such as a router, smart appliance, or infected workstation participating in a botnet. Rate-based attacks from this IP aim to overwhelm server resources through high-volume request flooding. China currently accounts for 2,903 blocked IPs in our database, making it a major source of malicious traffic. The score of 70/100 indicates a confirmed malicious actor. Network-level blocking is appropriate.
This IP is classified as residential, suggesting it may belong to a compromised home device, IoT botnet member, or an infected personal computer. Residential IPs involved in attacks often indicate malware infection without the owner's knowledge.

💡 DDoS Mitigation Approaches
Distributed denial of service attacks overwhelm infrastructure with traffic volume. Effective mitigation combines always-on traffic scrubbing, anycast network distribution, rate limiting, and the ability to quickly scale absorption capacity during attacks.
💡 Certificate Transparency Monitoring
Certificate Transparency logs record all publicly trusted TLS certificates. Monitoring these logs reveals unauthorized certificate issuance, phishing domain preparation, and shadow IT — providing early warning of attacks targeting an organizations domain.
