I have setup a twitter account, about time to eh?
I always wanted to setup an account for my honeypot project for the intention of updating it with the latest attacks but I just went and setup one for my own use instead! As a big fan of the terminal in Linux I wanted to try out tweeter clients that would allow me to see mentions, post updates, trends etc, there are a few such as TTYtter and BTI but they seemed really over-kill for what I was after so I rolled my own. I will make a separate post and upload the Ruby code later tonight or tomorrow for the terminal client, its pretty simple.
Honeypot Project
While I was ill two of the honeypots went down for a few days leaving only 1 working. I think the honeypots might of been discovered or it could just be a serious drop in ssh attacks over the last month, they went 25 days without any malware downloaded which is a bit weird.
Replying to all the abuse reports can get really time consuming (and frustrating) so I am thinking of just leaving it running with the 2-3 honeypots, just maintaining as is, and moving on to another project.
domRecon Project
This online tool that I made a while back tries to discover sub-domains, its quite a popular tool according to page hits. I think am going to re-write it in Ruby just so I can get use to sockets etc and maybe make the script a little bit more efficient!
