Episode Synopsis
SANS Stormcast Tuesday, June 24th, 2025: Telnet/SSH Scan Evolution; Fake Sonicwall Software; File-Fix vs Click-Fix Quick Password Brute Forcing Evolution Statistics After collecting usernames and passwords from our ssh and telnet honeypots for about a decade, I took a look back at how scans changed.
