Attack Analysis
Backup & Database File Probe
This IP requested common backup file paths (.bak, .sql, .zip, wp-config.bak), hunting for database dumps or config files containing plaintext credentials. A single exposed wp-config.bak can hand an attacker full database access. This attack is automated and deliberate.
Geo-Blocked Country
This IP was blocked purely based on its country of origin — the site owner has restricted access from this IP's geographic location due to a pattern of unwanted traffic from that region. This does not necessarily mean the specific IP itself has attacked anything; it reflects a blanket country-level policy.
Suricata IDS Alert
Suricata intrusion detection flagged this IP for malicious network behaviour — including port scanning, exploit attempts, botnet activity, or known attack signatures. The specific signature is shown in the report list below.
