📊 Threat Analysis
46.105.46.43 is registered in Roubaix, France, operating on the network of OVH SAS. This IP first appeared in our threat feeds after triggering multiple behavioral detection signatures. Our sensors captured 470 malicious requests from this address across a 90-day span, reflecting a sustained attack cadence of ~5.2 requests per day. Classified as a hosting IP, this address likely runs on a rented server or cloud instance. Attackers prefer datacenter IPs for their high bandwidth and disposable nature. The dual attack vectors of Path Enumeration combined with Request Flooding indicate a coordinated assault rather than opportunistic scanning. France currently accounts for 125 blocked IPs in our database, making it a significant source of malicious traffic. The score of 70/100 indicates a confirmed malicious actor. Network-level blocking is appropriate.
This IP belongs to a hosting or data center provider. Malicious traffic from hosting infrastructure often originates from compromised VPS instances, rented servers used for scanning campaigns, or abused free-tier cloud accounts. Hosting providers typically respond to abuse reports within 24-72 hours.
