Sunday honeypot analysis

5 minute read Published:

Last month, I started participating to the Internet Storm Center by setting up a VPS on DigitalOcean with a honeypot called DShield. I get reports every day so I thought it would be fun to check out the reports from this Sunday and see if we could find something cool!
About the Internet Storm Center and Dshield The Internet Storm Center (ISC) was created in 2001 and has been analyzing threats and problems since then with the help of volunteers around the world. In their own words: “The ISC uses the DShield distributed intrusion detection system for data collection and analysis. DShield collects data about malicious activity from across the Internet. This data is cataloged and summarized and can be used to discover trends in activity, confirm widespread attacks, or assist in preparing better firewall rules”.
