Incidents
These incidents come from 3 different servers. Each describes only its own history with this address, so a first ban on one can be a repeat ban on another.
sshdServer 1LowAI verdict: malicious1 hitNov 4, 2026, 1:07 PM UTCPersistent recidivist SSH brute-force from 12.156.67.18 (4th ban, 3 earlier in recidive window); shieldie-guard's sshd jail applied an escalated 28800s firewall ban, consistent with automated persistent scanning rather than a confirmed targeted compromise.
sshdServer 1LowAI verdict: malicious1 hitNov 4, 2026, 7:36 AM UTCRecidivist SSH brute-force from 12.156.67.18 (3rd ban: 2 earlier bans in the recidive window, refused attempts included); shieldie-guard's sshd jail applied an escalated 14400s firewall ban, and the pattern is consistent with persistent opportunistic noise rather than a targeted attack.
sshdServer 1LowAI verdict: malicious1 hitNov 1, 2026, 3:45 PM UTCRepeated SSH auth failures from 12.156.67.18 tripped shieldie-guard's sshd jail, which applied an escalated 7200s firewall ban; this is a repeat offender (1 earlier ban in the recidive window) but the pattern matches untargeted brute-force noise, not a targeted attack.
sshdServer 2LowAI verdict: malicious1 hitOct 29, 2026, 3:22 PM UTCRepeated SSH auth failures from 12.156.67.18 tripped shieldie-guard's sshd jail, which applied a 3600s firewall ban; first offense (0 prior bans in recidive window), consistent with opportunistic internet-wide brute-force noise rather than a targeted attack.
sshdServer 3MediumAI verdict: malicious1 hitOct 29, 2026, 11:05 AM UTCPersistent recidivist SSH brute-force from 12.156.67.18 (3rd ban in the recidive window, consistent with 2026-10-21 and 2026-10-28 incidents) was contained by shieldie-guard's 'sshd' jail with an escalated 14400s firewall ban; the pattern indicates a persistent automated attacker, and no successful login is evidenced.
sshdServer 3MediumAI verdict: malicious1 hitOct 28, 2026, 7:49 AM UTCRecidivist SSH brute-force from 12.156.67.18 (1 prior ban in the recidive window, consistent with the 2026-10-21 incident) resumed repeated auth failures and was banned for 7200s by shieldie-guard's 'sshd' jail; pattern indicates persistent automated scanning rather than a confirmed targeted attack.
sshdServer 3MediumAI verdict: malicious1 hitOct 21, 2026, 11:22 PM UTCRepeated SSH auth failures from 12.156.67.18 (no prior bans in the recidive window) matched shieldie-guard's 'sshd' jail, which applied a 3600s firewall ban; the pattern is consistent with opportunistic brute-force noise rather than a targeted attack.
