Report for IP: 45.78.224.198

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.

This IP's request contained a php://, data://, or expect:// stream wrapper — techniques used to read arbitrary server files, execute injected code, or bypass input filters via PHP's own I/O stream handling. An advanced exploitation technique, not accidental traffic.

This IP requested eval-stdin.php, a debugging component bundled with older PHPUnit installations that, if reachable, lets a remote attacker execute arbitrary PHP by piping code to it (CVE-2017-9841). Widely and automatically scanned for across the internet regardless of whether a site actually uses PHPUnit.

This IP rapidly probed multiple non-existent PHP paths in under 60 seconds — a hallmark of automated webshell scanning tools hunting for previously uploaded backdoors or vulnerable file-upload endpoints. If successful, a webshell grants the attacker full remote code execution on the server.
