Hi all,



Sorry for formatting errors, on my iPad while I have this thought in my
mind.



Does anyone know if any of the security groups or CDNs like Cloudflare
have honeypots out there that can be used for analysis of unusual attacks?
As in, change the DNS temp for a host and let the honey pot take the brunt
of it and hopefully get useful data (even for the benefit of the security
company).



Got a situation where I’ve got an abnormally high amount of legit looking
GET requests to a HTTPS git server, but are too high amount to actually be
legit end users or people cloning the repos. The sources are worldwide,
distributed, but with the bulk coming from China, Russia, Brazil, and
Egypt.



I have some theories and observations that I’d be open to sharing, but
preferably not on an open mailing list until I’ve had a change to have
them reviewed by someone with more experience and background.



Thx!
