Behavioral Indicators

The IP exhibits signs of automated behavior, including a mobile user-agent that lacks JavaScript support and a request to an unusual path. The absence of RDNS and the botnet detection signal further raise concerns about potential malicious intent.

The supernet (38.196.0.0/16), which this IP belongs to, exhibits signs of coordinated automation with repetitive low-interaction visits and a variety of user agents, some of which are suspiciously outdated or mismatched. The lack of forward DNS matches and the presence of multiple IPs accessing the same sites suggest potential scraping or bot activity, raising concerns about analytics pollution.
