One week of honeypot factoids

Honeypots are interesting. They’re not particularly useful most of the time for hunting threaty threats, because honestly the only attackers they really catch are automated bots that didn’t try very hard to fingerprint their targets. But they are a sort of zoo, in that you can see some of the less threatening threats in the wild within the safe confines of a Kibana window.

Such the surpises here. Not.
