Recommendations
Actions taken & recommended
- IP 45.87.253.76 is blocked at application level (HTTP 403)
- Consider blocking at firewall level (iptables/CSF) to reduce server load
- Other malicious IPs detected in the same /24 subnet — consider blocking 45.87.253.0/24
- Report abuse to the network provider via their abuse contact
- Ensure sensitive files (.env, .git, backups) are not accessible from the web
🔎 Path Enumeration Protection
Block scanning from 45.87.253.76: rate-limit 404 responses per IP, deploy a honeypot 404 page, ensure no backup files are web-accessible.
🌊 Traffic Flood Defense
IP 45.87.253.76 is generating excessive traffic. Limit connections per source IP. Enable geographic blocking if traffic from this region is unexpected.

📊 Threat Analysis
Threat intelligence analysis has linked 45.87.253.76 to malicious activity originating from Moscow, Russia, operating on the network of Biterika Group LLC. The address has been under observation since its initial detection. Our sensors captured 24 malicious requests from this address across a 1-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~24 requests per day. 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. Two attack patterns were identified (Path Enumeration and Request Flooding), suggesting a semi-automated campaign that targets multiple vulnerabilities. With 2,647 flagged addresses, Russia represents a major presence in our threat database. At 130/100, 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.
💡 WebSocket Security Considerations
WebSocket connections bypass traditional HTTP security controls, creating opportunities for cross-site WebSocket hijacking, denial of service, and data injection. Proper origin validation, authentication, and message rate limiting are essential for secure WebSocket implementations.
