So, I wanted to get some early signals of when shit goes down in Iran (internet infrastructure wise), so I used a morning snapshot of the full censys dataset, looked at each host/port, then started monitoring the real-time censys scan logs to look for successes/failures to those ports over the last 24 hours. Censys continually retries after it recv's an error, and doesn't just mark it down the first error it gets. Think of it like an ongoing ping to everything on the internet.

In short, this is a way to view hosts and ports that were up earlier today but are currently receiving either RSTs or timeouts.

Around 11 AM UTC, Iran went from a 36% error rate to over 56% errors for the IPs/ports open this morning. It may be an early warning.

I always forget I'm using a fixed-width nerd-patched version of a comic sans font until someone inevitably asks me "uhh, are you using comic sans for your terminal?" when I post screenshots of something.

I'm just so used to it, and I love it so much.
