  • Hits And Hack Attempts

    From Daryl Stout@1:19/33 to MARC LEWIS on Monday, July 06, 2015 11:07:40
    Marc,

    This system takes many hundreds of "hits" per day on port 23. Bombing runs

    My BBS takes the same thing...and if a deal is in the cached IP file,
    the connection is refused.

    It's amazing to look at the log file.

    I guess they have nothing better to do.

    the thing is that no one is sitting there doing this manually... it is all being done by bots and occasionally the operator will look over the results... they don't care about the remote system... only if they can get in and be able to use it as another bot in their herd... possibly scrounge some personal info off of it...

    Considering the rapid nature of repeated attempts to get in by
    different addresses, I would say it was automated. At times, they've
    filled up all 4 nodes of the telnet side, and no one can get in, until
    one of them drops off.

    it is definitely automated... they simply point the bots to a range of addresses and let'em go...

    yup... there's no telling if they are all from one botnet or not... no way to tell if there's one controller behind them, either...
