Comment on Got my first script kiddy
irmadlad@lemmy.world 6 days agoNot on AWS and yes I know I can’t stop port scanning and bad traffic is a thing. Doesn’t stop me from filling out the form.
On occasion, if they end up in recidive, I’ll report them to AbuseIPdb. If I did it for all attempts, I’d be as busy as a squirrel in a nut factory, because the bots are thick out in the ether. Like every minute of the day they’re out there throwing rocks at the castle wall. I had to start logrotating because logs were getting so big it was difficult to review and audit. Every so once in a while, they’ll break out the trebuchet and lob something significant, but I’ve had no breaches to date.
My servers are single user only, so buttoning things down is a little less complicated for me.
