#sshgropers — Public Fediverse posts

I wonder if this actually worked somewhere, somewhen, for somebot

Jul 27 07:40:21 skapet sshd-session[71062]: Failed password for invalid user root/bin from 217.156.66.34 port 47552 ssh2

You have to assume this *has* worked somewhere, at least once:

Jun 22 16:23:20 skapet sshd-session[13986]: Failed password for invalid user root/1234567 from 205.254.166.19 port 10806 ssh2

#ssh #sshgropers #passwordgropers #passwordguessers #bruteforcers #cybercrime

SSH! this just happened:

#ssh #passwordgropers #sshgropers #passwordguessers #cybercrime #bots #botnets

oh, somebot is in trouble:

yes, friends, this happened:

yes, this happened:

On a similar note, idle minds might wonder what "luax" is - log excerpt https://nxdomain.no/~peter/who_or_what_is_luax.txt #luax #ssh #sshgropers #passwordgroping #passwordguessing #cybercrime #security #bots

I've heard of one-LETTER user names before, but trying ' as a user name takes a very special kind of ... something.

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

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

I wonder what happened here:

May 29 05:19:33 portal sshd-session[12463]: Failed password for invalid user ^ from 196.251.89.193 port 38538 ssh2

no prizes, just puzzled

#ssh #passwordgroping #cybercrime #sshgropers

It will not be a surprise that the ovenight haul of new groped-for user IDs today included, almost #hailmary style, a bunch of vaguely #cryptocurrencly related ones, https://nxdomain.no/~peter/tuliptraders.txt, log extract https://nxdomain.no/~peter/tuliptraders-sshlog.txt. Do #cryptptulipcookers actually run as users with passwords anywhere?

Of course all of those are in the list of imaginary friends, see https://nxdomain.no/~peter/hailmary_lessons_learned.html and https://nxdomain.no/~peter/badness_enumerated_by_robots.html for background. #sshgropers #passwordguessing #cryptotulips #scams #cybercrime

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 https://nxdomain.no/~peter/so_somebody_is_throwing_html_at_your_sshd.html #sshgropers #sshd #passwordguessing #passwordgroping #passwords #cybercrime

Friday night follies included several attemtpts from [email protected] to deliver spam to one of the imaginary friends at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml as well as somebot attempting to ssh in as user <space>, which for #shell reasons will not be able to join the 500k+ #spamtraps

All while you were sleeping. #spamd #cybercrime #antispam #sshgropers #passwordguessing

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

(also to be added posthaste, with a domain appended, to the list of imaginary friends at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/traplist.shtml) #spamtraps

As far as we can tell,

Galadriel lives in Venezuela now #sshgropers #ssh #passwordguesssing #passwordgropers #bot #botnet #cybercrime #lotr #notlotr #elves #notelves

I'm at a loss for words -

More likely than not a variant of spamto database gone awol like back in the day https://nxdomain.no/~peter/so_somebody_is_throwing_html_at_your_sshd.html (prettified, tracked https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2016/12/so-somebody-is-throwing-html-at-your.html) but still hilarious

Another data point in the "you thought you had seen it all, but no siree" set -

The #sshgropers are really throwing everything at the wall these days:

[Again for the morning CETish crowd]
I *know* you love #passwordgropers, so given this line in my authlog,

what on earth happened here?
