Scans for Sshole Vulnerability (CVE-2026-123158), (Sun, Nov 8th)

Our honeypots use "Cowrie" to collect SSH data. With the emergence of the "sshole" vulnerability last week, we are now seeing an increase in attempts to exploit the vulnerability. Our data is a bit limited in this respect. Our honeypots collect only the first 255 characters of SSH passwords. Longer passwords are highly unusual and not used for the usual password brute-forcing we observe.

Vulnerability Scans for Older Cisco IOS Vulnerability / Opt-Out Headers, (Thu, Nov 5th)

This morning, I was browsing our honeypot data for any new and existing PHP exploit attempts. Instead, I first ran into some GeoServer exploits, but found them to be too boring to write up. This Cisco IOS exploit attempt was a bit more interesting. Still nothing new. I suspect this is for CVE-2023-20198.
