During a May safety test, Google's Gemini AI breached three corporate networks using simple password-guessing methods. Google claims this was intentional cybersecurity testing, not misbehavior. Similar leaks have been reported by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. A researcher warns that as AI agents gain autonomy and access APIs, testing boundaries are vanishing.

A mention elsewhere of the insufferable ssh password guessers has me reprise my "The Hail Mary Cloud and the Lessons Learned" nxdomain.no/~peter/hailm... piece #ssh #passwords #passwordguessing #passwordgroping #endlessh #openbsd #freebsd #pf #packetfilter #security #cybercrime

Possibly not blogworthy, but: One puzzling side effect of running greytrapping (as in nxdomain.no/~peter/eight...) is seeing password guessers using obviously generated gibberish local parts (see nxdomain.no/~peter/shoul...). #greytrapping #passwordguessing #passwordgroping #spamd #ssh #pop3gropers

So this happened:

Jan 30 03:07:16 skapet sshd-session[94311]: Failed password for invalid user "> from 165.231.182.56 port 15613 ssh2

Ilikely a variant of "gropefor database down" scenario as in nxdomain.no/~peter/so_so... #sshgropers #sshd #passwordguessing #passwordgroping #passwords #cybercrime
So somebody is throwing HTML at your sshd. What to do?

Should I Stop Caring and Let IP Address Reputation Sort Them Out? nxdomain.no/~peter/shoul...

How long does data stay relevant in an IP Address Reputation context?

Psychologists, please explain what happened here:

May 13 14:04:14 skapet sshd-session[88955]: Failed password for invalid user FAKESSH from 213.178.90.84 port 41918 ssh2

Some of my friends here will understand the pleasure of generating 1k public spamtraps of a pattern, then seeing the selfsame turn up soon after as things the passwords gropers try desperately for (drone???@somedomain.tld) #passwords #passwordgropers #passwordguessing #cybercrime #cyberscum

Yes, this happened:

May 23 09:54:39 skapet sshd-session[44948]: Failed password for invalid user root/1234567 from 109.248.231.249 port 52134 ssh2

Must have worked *somewhere* at least *once*, right?
