I left a server online with VNC wide open to see how it would be interacted with. This is one of the more interesting interactions:

Most of the other interactions consisted of people connecting, then checking the resources on the server, and for applications like nvidia-smi. (Presumably to see if it can be used to mine crypto). Before disconnecting once they realised it had 1GB of RAM and 1vCPU.

The server has been configured to automatically record an established VNC session. It logs the IP address that connected and the time, then saves the recording into a folder that I pull down every few days. A snapshot of the VM is taken, which gets reverted once they disconnect.

I’m impressed they got the tar command switches in the first try. Also, as a DevOps/SRE, you get a follow just for making this whole scenario happen.

Thanks!

That’s cool. Always interesting to watch honeypots. I’m surprised they didn’t just bail when they seen ffmpeg x11grab, no shame in people these days.

Thanks! Yeah, i thought the same. I was going to make ffmpeg a bit more hidden eventually, but I don't think I need to bother. 😆

Nice of him to delete the archive to conserve disk space.

Elma sexy girl 😆

try leaving an open RDP server next time i think you'll see more fun stuff

I do plan to do that next 🙂
