Edit: The post was probably heavily AI written and contains mistakes to that effect, which is unfortunate. The data in general is still interesting though.

That was an interesting read. I didn’t have a lot If knowledge about this topic. So thanks for that!
Was ist using AI for assisted writing? Maybe. But I don’t have a Problem with that. I assume everyone ist using it to some extend (me included) and uses it as a tool as any other tool.
The Data is the actual interesting Thing. Would be cool If the author could share his data (of course IP’s or other personel information must be anonymized/hashed). If that is made up by AI…Well there goes your credibility. But I don’t assume that from the beginning.
Honeypot as a Python script in a docker container?
Isn’t that not really a true isolation?endlessh + fail2ban
Please say more.
I use both on a daily basis and from what I understand, there’s no implicit access from within a container. If you set it up right, there’s no access outside the container of any sort unless you explicitly say so.
Unless the container had a bug that they know but you don’t know.
Yeah the system isn’t protecting you (like it does preventing a normal user accessing another user), “only” the docker code does.
Or so I have understood it.
If they used AI, then I consider they lost all credibility.
For me it is not only that they used AI for the writing, is that they did not care to review/recheck/polishing it before releasing it to the public, so my effort in consuming it will be reciprocal

Oh so you want them to do all that and gather all the data and do it themselves for free? What a dumb comment.
I’ve run a honeypot for the last month and the data is near-identical to this. It’s definitely credible.
If you publish something online, that’s also a responsibility. If they don’t want that, then they could just have made a comment somewhere “yo, i’ve had this container online on port 22 and this is what happened, yolo”.
Same for open source software btw.
The issue with using AI is that the author doesn’t openly disclose the use at the beginning of the paper.
Yes, I know this particular write-up isn’t for official submission to an academic journal, but sharing methodology is important.
I would have no problem with AI-assisted writing IF the author credited the service used and, where applicable, included the prompts used.
It should be similar to documenting any sourced material. It’s not just about giving credit where credit is due. It’s also about accountability.
What a dumb comment.
Why is this necessary? Does this add anything at all to the conversation?

Ah, well then. Problem solved. Someone on the internet said it’s credible, therefore it must be credible. Tell ya what - when you create a webpage to display your data and then provide an analysis of said data, I’ll consider you credible. Until then, though, you are just some short-tempered, rude, anonymous voice shouting into the void.
I won’t be posting shit. I just submitted IPs and reports to the hosts (surprisingly some of them were using azure/cloud services).
Kindly, go fuck yourself.

Yes, that is what 90% of the internet has been about since it became a thing. Doing everything for profit turns everything into shit.
Near-identical doesn’t make it valuable. Plausible but incorrect is still incorrect. AI creates plausible and credible but incorrect data.
The plausibility and credibility is like a honeypot for your confidence. You read it, and understand it, and come to believe it. But it was false all along. You think you learned things. You actually learned nothing.
Sounds like AI
I initially disagreed but after actually reading the post, I’m with you. If it was only the article’s text that was generated and not the data or graphs then I don’t see why the whole thing would be written off. I mean, it’s really sad seeing people offload their writing to AI but I still found it interesting.
Yeah I hate the slop but the data is good.
I’m kind of disappointed that
bigboobzwasn’t on the top of the password list.The Belgian traffic? Almost entirely from a single residential IP — one box that sent over 156,000 login attempts, more than the entire country of Germany. It just sat there, hammering echo “\x6F\x6B” over and over, every single second, for weeks. Relentless.
Had a funny similar thing, there’s some weird person/people that randomly probe and attack a specific game’s community hosted dedicated servers; and one week this specific IP address out of Virginia was just hammering one of mine, with what amounts to a specific byte sequence, then an incrementing number of the packet (until it wrapped around). Then it stopped. Weird shit.
It’s possible it was something misconfigured, a poorly-written script, or a bug in some software causing unexpected behavior. At the scale of the Internet, all of those are very possible.
It could also be the Internet equivalent of a numbers station.
Thanks for the warning OP
and contains mistakes to that effect
What mistakes?
At one point it said only 28 IPs came back and those 31 were clever. Or something to that effect.
Weird I did the exact same thing on a VPS. Basically the same data.
So is there a socket container for this? Wi wouldn’t mind wasting some hacker assholes time with this
