The following attack categories were identified:
📊 Threat Analysis
The address 45.133.6.15 originates from Perth, Australia, operating on the network of VPN. It was identified through automated analysis of incoming network traffic across monitored endpoints. During its 1-day observation window, we recorded 56 hostile requests from this IP — roughly 56 per day on average. The address operates as a VPN/proxy exit node. Attackers route traffic through anonymizing services to obscure their real location and evade IP-based security controls. The dual attack vectors of Request Flooding combined with User-Agent Anomaly indicate a coordinated assault rather than opportunistic scanning. With 109 flagged addresses, Australia represents a significant presence in our threat database. At 255/100, this is an extremely high-risk address. All traffic should be considered hostile.
This IP is associated with a VPN or proxy service. Attackers frequently route their traffic through anonymizing services to obscure their true location. This makes attribution more challenging but the malicious behavior patterns remain detectable.

💡 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.
💡 Open Source Intelligence Methods
OSINT techniques leverage publicly available information for security research. DNS records, WHOIS data, certificate transparency logs, social media, and code repositories all provide valuable intelligence for threat analysis without requiring special access or tools.
