📊 Threat Analysis
The address 45.134.20.170 originates from Sydney, Australia, operating on the network of VPN. It was identified through automated analysis of incoming network traffic across monitored endpoints. Over a period of 9 days, this IP generated 592 malicious requests, averaging approximately 65.8 requests per day. This IP is identified as a VPN or proxy endpoint, commonly used to mask the true origin of attack traffic and bypass geographic or reputation-based blocking. The dual attack vectors of Request Flooding combined with User-Agent Anomaly indicate a coordinated assault rather than opportunistic scanning. Our records show 87 malicious IPs originating from Australia, positioning it as a notable contributor to global threat activity. With a threat score of 255/100, this IP is among the most dangerous addresses in our database. Immediate and complete blocking is strongly recommended.
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.
💡 Cloud Infrastructure Abuse
Cloud platforms provide attackers with elastic, disposable infrastructure. Free tier accounts, stolen credit cards, and compromised cloud credentials enable rapid deployment of attack infrastructure that can scale to millions of requests and disappear within hours.
