Cybersecurity Analysis: July 23, 2026

Overview

On July 23, 2026, a honeypot setup on a Raspberry Pi 5 in Spain experienced significant activity from attackers targeting multiple protocols and services. The analysis reveals that the day was marked by a high volume of malicious attempts against SSH connections, HTTP requests, and an increase in IDS alerts.

Data Summary

  • SSH Attempts: 912 conn/734 logins/0 commands/29 IPs
  • Multi-Protocol Events: FTP/Telnet/SMTP/MySQL/Redis/Git/VNC/RDP: 0 events/0 IPs
  • HTTP Requests: 60 req/33 IPs
  • Suricata IDS Alerts: 8824 alerts/436 IPs, with a severity of critical.
  • AbuseIPDB Reported Attacker IPs: No reported attackers
  • Top Attackers: Top IPs: 195.182.16.23, 94.154.43.140, 45.198.224.5, 94.154.43.114, 94.154.43.99
  • Top Geographical Distribution: United States: 1436 (27%), China: 709 (13%), Belgium: 279 (5%)
  • HTTP Paths: [/], [“/login”], [“/SDK/webLanguage”], [“/goform/set_LimitClient_cfg”], [“/actuator/health”]

SSH Attacks

The SSH connection attempts were predominantly directed at the Raspberry Pi, with a focus on command execution. The attackers executed shell commands such as uname -s -v -n -r -m, indicating that they are targeting systems running Linux. They also attempted to escalate privileges using tatty commands.

HTTP Traffic

HTTP requests were made towards various web paths, suggesting the exploitation of vulnerabilities in the affected hosts. The frequent use of specific paths like /login and /actuator/health indicates a common attack pattern targeting login pages or health check endpoints.

IDS Alerts

The day saw an influx of critical IDS alerts from multiple sources, primarily due to SSH brute force attempts (912 conn/734 logins) and HTTP requests with unusual traffic patterns.

Geographical Distribution

The majority of the attackers originated from the United States (1436), China (709), Belgium (279), and other locations. This distribution suggests a global cyber threat landscape where multiple countries are targeted equally.

Threat Overview

This day marked an active phase in the honeypot environment, with a high volume of traffic and critical alerts. The attackers were targeting various protocols and services, indicating that they were attempting to compromise systems across different environments (Linux-based hosts).

Geographic Analysis

The geographical distribution shows a significant presence from the United States, which is consistent with global cyber threats where multiple countries are equally targeted.

Conclusion

This analysis highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and defense mechanisms for honeypot setups. The high volume of critical alerts indicates that the environment requires enhanced security measures to prevent further compromise and protect against potential attacks. The distribution suggests a well-organized threat actor group targeting various geographical locations, emphasizing the need for a diverse approach in cybersecurity strategies.
