Honeypot Threat Analysis — July 22, 2026
Critical threat level — massive coordinated attack activity across all honeypot services.
Cybersecurity Analysis for July 22, 2026
Overview and Geographical Distribution
In the early hours of July 22nd, 2026, our Raspberry Pi 5 honeypot witnessed a flurry of activity. A total of 50 attackers attempted to access the system using SSH, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, MySQL, Redis, Git, VNC, and RDP protocols across multiple IP addresses. The primary focus was on critical events with a severity level of “critical.” These attacks were detected by Suricata IDS, resulting in 9180 alerts from 343 IPs.
Top Attackers
The most prolific attackers identified within this period included the following:
- “45.198.224.5”
- “94.154.43.140”
- “94.154.43.114”
- “195.182.16.23”
- “62.210.142.174”
Top Passwords and HTTP Paths
No passwords were detected during this period, but the most frequent HTTP paths accessed included:
//login/SDK/webLanguage/goform/set_LimitClient_cfg/?_1124225399856692028355728
Geographic Distribution
The honeypot was located in Spain, and the geographic distribution of attackers is as follows:
- United States: 1436 (27%)
- China: 709 (13%)
- Belgium: 279 (5%)
- Pakistan: 228 (4%)
- Netherlands: 223 (4%)

- Germany: 206 (3%)
- India: 156 (2%)
- Korea, Republic of: 139 (2%)
Tarpit and Malware
There was no evidence of tarpit or malware activity detected. The honeypot remained undisturbed during this period.
Post-Exploitation Tools and Techniques
The attackers used a variety of tools to compromise the system:
- Backfire Scans: No scans were initiated, but there was an attempt at a RDP backdoor with a user-agent indicating Boto3.
- MCP Trap: No requests or IPs were recorded in this section.
- Portscans: 0/0 detected.
Malware Analysis
No malware was captured during the period under review. The honeypot’s AI defense mechanisms successfully blocked all injection and leak attempts, ensuring a clean environment for investigation.
Community Defense Against Threats
The honeypot did not detect any community defenses or tools that could have been used to protect against cyber threats. However, it is essential to monitor for and implement best practices within the community to enhance security.
Concluding Remarks
Despite the activity on July 22nd, 2026, our Raspberry Pi honeypot remained undisturbed in terms of malware and tarpit attacks. The analysis highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and continuous monitoring to protect systems from potential threats.
