A honeypot is a tool used to detect and record attacks on a system, specifically focusing on SSH honeypots in this discussion. There were a total of 11,599 login attempts noted, highlighting a high volume of attacks, many targeting default and customary usernames. The use of specific commands post-login, such as the oinasf script and execution of a mysterious script, reveal a probing strategy for vulnerabilities and valuable information. The mdrfckr crypto miner aims to create a cron job for malicious activity, while the Sakura.sh script is part of the Gafgyt malware targeting IoT devices. These tactics emphasize the critical need for robust defenses.
