Bulletproof HostingLimited Network LTD (AS213790)
Limited Network LTD (AS213790) is a UK-registered but Romania-operated hosting entity whose address space is listed on Spamhaus DROP. The abuse contact routes to a Romanian address — a pattern consistent with Eastern European bulletproof hosting using UK shell companies as legitimacy facades. Flagged by multiple honeypot networks for reconnaissance and intrusion attempts.
Attack Analysis
IDS: Blocklist — Spamhaus DROP
This IP is on the Spamhaus DROP list — a dataset of netblocks hijacked or leased by professional spam and cybercrime operations with no legitimate users. Traffic from DROP-listed ranges is considered hostile by design. Blocking is unconditional.
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.
