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

I find it quite chuckleworthy that the pop3 gropers are eagerly trying even the /dev/random sourced local parts of spamtraps (mentioned in passing in https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html). But is it worth writing a fresh article about that?

Hm. Over at the facesite I commented on a post about #bruteforce attacks on a commercial network product with a link to https://nxdomain.no/~peter/badness_enumerated_by_robots.html, and got a followup asking whether I have bruteforce protection "in front of" my ssh servers.

And this only hours after I scared the cat by LOL from seeing that the #pop3gropers are actively trying the local parts of my freshly random spamtraps (see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/eighteen_years_of_greytrapping.html a bit down the page). #passwordgroping #cybercrime

Thanks to everyone who voted in my "Should I Stop Caring and Let IP Address Reputation Sort Them Out?" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/should_i_stop_caring_and_let_ip_reputation_sort_them_out.html poll.

I have since added the *seriously, folks* note to the exported files and told anybody who wanted out of the big list that I will remove them *on condition that they track down the morons who use that list as anything other than a historical artifact* and *LART* them.

I was recently contacted by somebody who claimed to have had their traffic blocked because one or more IP addresses in their range was in the "big list" of #pop3gropers mentioned in https://nxdomain.no/~peter/badness_enumerated_by_robots.html, with the entry dating to before they took over that particular range. That, my friends, is *not* the intended use (that's what the sixweeks list is for).
