@brohrer

I've given your page a visit, quite informative & systematically written

Thank You

I was lucky enough to find that research has been done into SSH brute Force logins and was released by @ricci here on the FediVerse.
The research covers more than 512 servers and spans over a number of years. Unlike other research in this field the servers were not honeypots, but were used by legitimate users. This method gave clear insights into actual attackers behavior to servers, spanning over a number of networks and a number of years

This is a link to a toot where I refer to that research paper which is also linked

You may find the paper informative and useful

A graph of SSH login attempts per day, in millions. On the Y axis, the graph starts in October 2017 at around 0.25M attempts per day. The day-to-day numbers are very noisy, but a trend line shows that the average number of attacks per day rises to around 1.0M around January 2021, with a slight fall-off before the graph ends in August 2021.
discuss.systemsRob Ricci (@ricci@discuss.systems)Attached: 1 image Hey! Let's talk about #SSH and #security! If you've ever looked at SSH server logs you know what I'm about to say: Any SSH server connected to the public Internet is getting bombarded by constant attempts to log in. Not just a few of them. A *lot* of them. Sometimes even dozens per second. And this problem is not going away; it is, in fact, getting worse. And attackers' behavior is changing. The graph attached to this post shows the number of attempted SSH logins per day to one of @cloudlab s clusters over a four-year period. It peaks at about 3.4 million login attempts per day. This is part of a study we did on our production system, using logs of more than 640 million login attempts, covering more than 1,500 hosts on our side and observing more than 840 thousand incoming IP addresses. A paper presenting our analysis and a new, highly effective means to block SSH brute force attacks ("Where The Wild Things Are: Brute-Force SSH Attacks In The Wild And How To Stop Them") will be presented next week at #NSDI24 by @sachindhke@mastodon.social . The full paper is at https://www.flux.utah.edu/paper/singh-nsdi24 Let's dive in. 🧵

“the #Empire has arrived to deliver democracy to Venezuela!”

“with three #warships and a #submarine off Caracas, the US is escalating towards some kind of invasion but does anyone buy the 'narco-terrorism' lie?”

Made a silly little comic to process the threats I'm feeling as a small business right now 😂 With all the crap information out there on de minimis this felt like the most productive thing to do!

Closing US orders for the foreseeable future today - bye bye Halloween, Xmas and possibly Valentines sales. My busy period is going to be a lot quieter I think! 😅

ChatGPT shared conversations indexed by search engines, easily discovered even if potentially confidential

Thousands of ChatGPT conversations containing sensitive personal and business information became publicly searchable through Google and other search engines due to an opt-in feature that allowed users to make shared conversations discoverable. Many users were unaware that this means search engines will index and expose the data.

**If you are using ChatGPT, check your "Shared Links" dashboard in account settings and delete any links for sharing. Even deleted chats might still be publicly searchable on Google and other search engines. Never share AI conversations unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT'S LIIMTED TO A SPECIFIC USER OR GROUP and always assume anything you share online will become permanently public.**

#Children collecting water are majority of the 10 dead Sunday after Israeli missile strike in #Gaza . #IDF claim "technical error" "under review" as they were only seeking to kill a "militant" dozens of metres beyond where missile hit, and issue rote #atrocity #apology for "accident" that killed more innocent civilians.

In total, 19 people were killed in Israeli strikes in the #GazaStrip on Sunday, local health officials said.

Two #women and three #children were among nine killed in a different #attack by an Israeli strike on a home in the central town of Zawaida, officials at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said.

#Israel has claimed it hit more than 150 targets in the besieged Gaza enclave in the past 24 hrs.

Meanwhile, back in Gaza:

“A Number of displaced Palestinians were killed and others were injured, including children, in the bombing of a tent in the Nusairat refugee camp, central Gaza.
