  1. Stood up a fresh honeypot in Madrid, pointed a domain I registered in 2008 at it, and just watched.

    36 hours in, my logs are full of domain-name-flavored usernames and passwords, generously seasoned with 2008, 2009, 2010, all the way to 2030 and other years that line up a little too well with when I actually regisstered the thing.

    I did not publish my registration date anywhere. The bots found out anyway and are now trying it as both a username AND password, just to cover their bases. Efficient. Rude. Efficient.

    Something in the pipeline is pulling WHOIS data and using domain age as a password hint. Not earth shattering, not life changing, but in just about a day you start to see the patterns. Now I will wait to see the payloads they drop and further exploration of the 2 additional "hosts" connected to this little decoy.

    What are you doing on this fabulous Wednesday? yes yes, so I'm a nerd - I admit it. And you? Will you admit it too? Do you also have a friendly Flamingo helping set these up?

  2. Budowa dobrego honeypota to zawsze balansowanie na granicy i przemyślenie:
    ❓ jaką usługę emulować,
    ❓ jak bardzo ją udawać,
    ❓ jak upewnić się, że agresor nie wykorzysta naszego środowiska do dalszych ataków.

    A gdyby tak odwrócić role? Zamiast budować kolejną atrapę, możemy wykorzystać infrastrukturę atakującego jako honeypot. I to właśnie pokazuje Jacek Lipkowski - dowiesz się, jak zbudować taki mechanizm w praktyce i jak wygląda ruch złapany w tym modelu.

    Jeśli lubisz kreatywne myślenie o obronie - to jest ten wykład. Wpadnij na #OhMyHack 2025 👉 omhconf.pl/

  3. 🎉 TODAY’S THE DAY! 🎉

    @sashatheflamingo has officially landed in Leeds—and guess what? She’s not just here to strut her stuff (though, let’s be real, the strutting is fabulous). With a little help from her human (that’s me! 😄), Sasha is taking the stage at #BSidesLeeds to talk about her global #honeypot mischief—er, network.

    Huge shoutout to the BSidesLeeds team for all the incredible work they’ve put in—this community is fierce, friendly, and fantastically nerdy. 💜

    Let’s do this, Leeds! 🦩✨ #SashaTheFlamingo #cybersecurity #honeypots @bsidesleeds

  4. CW: bitcoiners, pls be quiet

    Dear #Bitcoiners (and anti-bitcoiners),

    Please be quiet. Stop talking about #bitcoin. Until you have the #humanDecency to start talking about the greatest attack on basic #communication that our #civilisation has ever seen, cheating people out of millions, shut your mouth and keep it shut.

    When you start talking about #CloudFlare, then we'll know you're serious.

    Till then — zip it.
