Behavioral Indicators

The IP shows signs of potential automated behavior, including a POST request to a common endpoint with a 404 response. The absence of JavaScript support and the use of a mobile user-agent further indicate possible bot activity. The single event and access to a specific site raise concerns about probing or scraping.

The supernet (102.249.0.0/16), which this IP belongs to, exhibits behavior indicative of low-interaction, automated browsing with a mix of legitimate and potentially suspicious activity. Multiple IPs utilize similar user agents and exhibit consistent DNS resolution, suggesting possible coordinated scraping or bot activity, but the presence of legitimate DNS matches and varied user agents mitigates the threat level.
