keef<p>So my first evil genius robot honeypot, the word frequency one, seems to be getting hit by a distributed botnet.</p><p>It started around 2-3 requests per second but seems to be ramping up. </p><p>It's using IP addresses from all over the world - could be hacked personal devices? - and a wide range of plausible-looking User Agent strings.</p><p>My server is fine for now - 95% idle CPU.</p><p>Are there people for whom any of the IP or agent data might be useful? Botnet detectorists?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/botnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>botnet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ddos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ddos</span></a></p>
