Abuse-Tolerant HostingVPSVAULT.HOST LTD (AS215925, Netherlands)
VPSVAULT.HOST LTD (AS215925) allocates VPS infrastructure across geographically dispersed blocks: Netherlands (45.198.224.0/24, 87.121.84.0/24) and Brazil (45.205.1.0/24). Virtually all observed IPs return NXDOMAIN on PTR lookup — a strong indicator of disposable, purpose-allocated attack VPS. The Brazilian block suggests multi-region infrastructure designed to evade country-based filtering. Seven of nine observed IPs carry 100/100 AbuseIPDB scores.
Attack Analysis
Port 22 Honeypot Probe
This IP connected to a fake SSH honeypot — a port 22 listener that is not a real SSH server. This is an automated scanner fingerprinting targets before launching a brute-force campaign. Legitimate systems never probe port 22 without a specific reason; this activity is virtually 100% malicious.
IDS: Blocklist — Dshield
This IP was reported to the DShield community blocklist by multiple independent security sensors worldwide. DShield aggregates firewall logs from thousands of contributors; IPs on this list are confirmed active attackers observed across many networks.
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.
