Honeypot Havoc: The Unexpected Surge in Malicious Activity Logs
Honeypot logs have skyrocketed recently, with some days hitting a jaw-dropping 58 GB! This spike in web honeypot logs isn’t just a blip; it’s become the new normal. So, if you’re managing logs, brace yourself for a data deluge and consider compression—your storage space will thank you!
Hot Take:
If honeypots were beehives, I’d be worried about a honey flood! The increase in honeypot log volumes is like a cyber bee rave – the logs are dancing, multiplying, and making honey pots everywhere overflow with ‘sweet’ data. So hold onto your beekeeper suits, folks, because it’s getting sticky!
Key Points:
- Honeypot log volumes have dramatically increased in recent months.
- The spike in activity is consistent across multiple honeypots.
- Web honeypot logs are the primary contributors to this surge.
- Some IP subnets are particularly active in generating these logs.
- Log management and storage are becoming challenging due to the volume.
