  1. Seit Tagen laufen bei meinem Server massive Portscans auf. Allesamt aus Brasilien. Schon seltsam...

  2. Monitored SIEM: We're seeing some unusual port scanning activity

    Sys Admin: It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me

  3. Are there lots of port scan bots on the loose again today? I got over 700 new IP bans in the Fail2Ban recidive jail today. Lot's of IP's from the communistic orc Federation and from China, too. Annoying...

  4. TIL The FreeBSD kernel auto-tarpits (for want of a better word) portscans on your host as soon as they attempt to connect to a closed port. If you see the following in your logs, that’s what’s happening.

    "kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 3877 to 190 packets/sec”

    Shodan - looking at you!

    You can have more fun using blackhole in sysctl

    man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?qu

    None of this is a substitute for a firewall.

  6. “Brave aims to curb practice of websites that #PortScan visitors. Brave will allow users to choose which sites can access [#localhost] network resources.” Dan Goodin, Ars Technica #Privacy #WebBrowsers

    This should be the new #WebPlatform standard: deny by default. A handful of allow-by-default exceptions for PC vendors’ support sites that connect to a helper service on a specific port to identify the model and installed driver versions. One of very few legitimate uses.

  8. anybody here use #masscan on internal pen tests if the network is big? I'm looking for advice on what rate you might run at. I'm not worried about noise, I am worried about swamping the network.

  9. Yesterday a ~6000 members #botnet started to #portscan hosts en masse. Watch out.
