Open Ports & Services
Network reconnaissance data from Shodan. Open ports may indicate running services, misconfigurations, or potential attack surfaces.
| Port | Service | Risk | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | FTP | Medium | File Transfer Protocol — often targeted for anonymous login attacks |
| 22 | SSH | Low | Secure Shell — common brute force target for remote access |
| 23 | Telnet | Critical | Telnet — unencrypted remote access, extremely dangerous if exposed |
| 80 | HTTP | Low | HTTP web server — standard web traffic |
| 2000 | Unknown | Low | Service on port 2000 |
| 8291 | MikroTik | High | MikroTik Winbox — router management, targeted by VPNFilter malware |
| 8728 | Unknown | Low | Service on port 8728 |
⚠️ 3 high-risk ports detected on 191.5.193.220. Telnet (23) transmits credentials in plaintext — likely a compromised IoT device. These services should not be publicly accessible without strict firewall rules.

📊 Threat Analysis
191.5.193.220 is registered in Trindade, Brazil, operating on the network of Natel Telecom Ltda. - ME. This IP first appeared in our threat feeds after triggering multiple behavioral detection signatures. Our sensors captured 2 malicious requests from this address across a 3-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~0.7 requests per day. The address is classified as residential, meaning it likely belongs to an end-user ISP connection. Malicious activity from residential IPs typically indicates device compromise or botnet membership. The IP exhibits directory enumeration behavior, systematically requesting non-existent paths to discover hidden files and misconfigured resources. With 103 flagged addresses, Brazil represents a significant presence in our threat database. The score of 60/100 warrants active monitoring and rate-limiting. Full blocking is advisable for sensitive systems.
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.

Security Intelligence
💡 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks
XSS attacks inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. Reflected XSS uses crafted URLs, while stored XSS persists in databases. Both types can steal session cookies, redirect users, or deface websites.
💡 Automated Incident Response
Automated response systems can block threats in milliseconds, far faster than human analysts. However, automation requires careful safeguards — rate limits on blocking actions, automatic expiration, and human review queues prevent automated systems from causing self-inflicted outages.
