Darknet Attacks and Targets

[Jacob]

This is kind of fascinating to watch: http://map.ipviking.com/

Every second, Norse collects and analyzes live threat intelligence from darknets in hundreds of locations in over 40 countries. The attacks shown are based on a small subset of live flows against the Norse honeypot infrastructure, representing actual worldwide cyber attacks by bad actors. At a glance, one can see which countries are aggressors or targets at the moment, using which type of attacks (services-ports).

Hovering over the ATTACK ORIGINS, ATTACK TARGETS, or ATTACK TYPES will highlight just the attacks emanating from that country or over that service-port respectively. Hovering over any bubble on the map, will highlight only the attacks from that location and type. Press S to toggle table sizes.

Norse exposes its threat intelligence via high-performance, machine-readable APIs in a variety of forms. Norse also provides products and solutions that assist organizations in protecting and mitigating cyber attacks.

Imagine that.

Imagine that.

I knew you'd enjoy checking this out

[MadImmortalMan]

It's like Wargames. And we're losing badly.

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Imagine that.

I should post statistics on the server's telnet login faliures sometime.

Gang bang

The Dutch really have it in for us.  Also they keep attacking Kirksville.  There's nothing up there.

I know next to nothing about cyber attacks, but I wonder how the site distinguishes between "attacks" and other normal internet traffic.  The above part sounds to me like there is an obvious conflict of interest.  Hey look!  You are being attacked.  Buy our stuff!  The entire thing smells like a sales pitch.

Leave it open in a none-highlighted tab in chrome & wait a minute and then comeback to it. Watch the lasers go all star wars.

The Party thanks you for your assistance in this matter.

Wait so you hate money now?  I never thought I would see the day.

Oh, they're attacks, alright, but they're low-risk.  These type of attacks usually don't carry a penalty for number of attempts the way a brute-force password attempt would, so there's little risk in keeping a stream running until it hits the odd open or poorly-configured firewall.

Telnet attacks are the hacker equivalent of going around a bunch of computers and typing in "password."

Huh?  No clue how you reached that conclusion.  Refusing to buy useless crap due to questionable evidence is strong evidence for my love of money

Ah.  It almost sounded like you disapproved of them trying to sell things.

[Martinus]

So it's basically just Chicoms trying to fuck the Yanks with the rest of the world just trying an opportunistic attack every now and then?
