Here's a #security question that's been bugging me for a few weeks now:

I'm a professor and there are #Windows PCs in the classrooms. Login in a controlled domain, users have no admin perms etc.

Sometimes I #ssh from these machines to my #Linux box at my office to show some numerical stuff to the class.

Which security practice is more reasonable? Keep a (passworded) key file in the windows machines and risk an (unlikely) extraction or login with a password and risk keylogging? #secops

SSH has no Host header

Iranian Botnet Exposed via Open Directory: 15-Node Relay Network and Active C2

An Iranian threat actor's operational infrastructure was exposed through an open directory, revealing a 15-node relay network spanning Finland and Iran, an SSH-based botnet framework, and an active command and control server. The exposed bash history documented the full operation, including tunnel deployment, DDoS tooling development, and botnet creation. The actor used on-host compilation to evade detection and leveraged a Python script for mass SSH deployment. The botnet client, compiled and renamed 'hex' on infected hosts, showed automatic reconnection capabilities. This operation appears to be financially or personally motivated rather than state-directed, with infrastructure dual-purposed for censorship bypass and attack operations.
