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 https://nxdomain.no/~peter/hailmary_lessons_learned.html (or if you prefer Big G's trackers, https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-hail-mary-cloud-and-lessons-learned.html) occurred.

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

It's heartwarming to a greying geek that a 5000+ words retrospective on greytrapping is turning out to be popular - https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html (tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2025/08/eighteen-years-of-greytrapping-is.html)

It's now been a week since my population of spamtraps rolled past the number of inhabitants in my home country of Norway. Here is the retrospective:

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.

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