@virustotal maybe it's worth to look into increasing free quota based on quality of reports. If a source reports a lot of malware with unique signatures then perhaps you don't want to enforce the default quota and miss out on reports (on days where the source is busy).

I bet you already have some sort of usefulness score for sources anyway ?!

There seems to be a remote code execution issue in Casdoor? My honeypots are seeing these scans:

Interesting Netscaler payload caught by my Lophiid honeypots:

Does anyone know this vuln ?

@cR0w yes I think so too, that's also where I got the inspiration from to add it to my honeypots. I was hoping for some more targeted attacks with this one and not the usual large scans (given that it's not such a popular service) but I guess I was naive ;/
After adding emulation of HPE OneView to my honeypots, I'm seeing quite an uptick in scans for it. Could be coincidence but regardless it's interesting to see so much traffic for a rather unpopular (?) service. Shodan for example shows 27 instances at the moment.

@hrbrmstr @iagox86 interesting!

Interesting! Thanks for sharing.

So I only have 50 honeypots (for personal entertainment) and guess you guys have quite a few more than that :). More importantly, I have them across 6 datacenters which really limits the coverage.

But I'm not complaining: I get more data than I can handle and have fun playing with it (and trying to extract new info in new ways when possible)

Just under a year ago I was planning to leave Google after 10 years. Since then I've been considering what's next (and doing some advisory work on the side).

I've slowly been giving more and more thought to how to give back in a sustainable way that works for me.

With that in mind, if you know of any organisations who offer security consulting/testing (pentesting) for NGOs or other worthy causes, please share 🙏

(Please re-toot for reach)

Suddenly seeing exploitation attempts of CVE-2019-17621 (D-Link DIR-859 Wi-Fi router RCE). In 3 years of running my Lophiid honeypots, this is the first time I see this specific vuln being exploited.
