Behavioral Indicators

The IP address exhibits strong indicators of automated behavior, including lack of JavaScript support and use of a proxy hosting service. The user-agent appears to be spoofed, and the access pattern suggests potential scraping activity.

The supernet (104.252.0.0/16), which this IP belongs to, exhibits suspicious behavior characterized by repetitive low-interaction visits to a limited number of sites, with multiple IPs using similar user agents and showing high honeypot hit rates. The lack of matching forward DNS records and the presence of hosting and proxy services suggest potential misuse of legitimate infrastructure for automated scraping or bot-like activities.
