  12. Over at LinkedIn, somebody posted the results of putting a Linux server with sshd exposted to the internet for 30 days recently.

    In that particular area, not much seems to have changed since the early years of this century when the events chronicled here nxdomain.no/~peter/hailmary_le (or if you prefer Big G's trackers, bsdly.blogspot.com/2013/10/the) occurred.

  17. Possibly not blogworthy, but: One puzzling side effect of running greytrapping (as chronicled in nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_ye) is seeing the uptick in password guessing using even the obviously generated gibberish local parts, and the sheer volume of tries (see nxdomain.no/~peter/should_i_st and links therein). #greytrapping #passwordguessing #passwordgroping #spamd #ssh #pop3gropers

  27. Friends, it finally happened. On August 7th, 2025, the number of spamtraps intended to fool spammers rolled past the number of inhabitants in my home country of Norway. It's time for a retrospective.

    Friends, it finally happened. On August 7th, 2025, the number of spamtraps rolled past the number of people in my home country. It's time for a retrospective.

    With the imaginary friends, also known as spamtraps, now more numerous than the inhabitants of their virtual landlord's home country, a greytrapping retrospective is in order.

  32. Should I Stop Caring and Let IP Address Reputation Sort Them Out? nxdomain.no/~peter/should_i_st

    How long does data on misbehaving hosts on the Internet stay relevant in an IP Address Reputation context?

    Link to poll within (on for a week, 4 days left, please *do* vote).

  33. So this happened:

    Jan 30 03:07:16 skapet sshd-session[94311]: Failed password for invalid user "> from 165.231.182.56 port 15613 ssh2

    I wonder if we are seeing a variant of "gropefor database down, feeding raw html to the ssh gropebot" scenario again such as in nxdomain.no/~peter/so_somebody #sshgropers #sshd #passwordguessing #passwordgroping #passwords #cybercrime

  34. Another one for the #ssh #password #groper #blooper reel:

    Nov 4 15:24:12 portal sshd-session[16361]: Failed password for invalid user user1!2@3#4$ from 185.11.61.88 port 40254 ssh2
