Animated Map of the Internet
This map shows an average 24hrs of traffic across the entire IPv4 Internet from any machine or device that responds to ICMP (ping). It was created by an anonymous source who built a botnet to examine global security. While the motives and results may be controversial, what we are left with is a beautiful piece of art if you ask me...

Basically the us never sleeps Lol
ReplyDeleteYep, because people never use the internet at work. Ever. Nor do they ever take lunch around noon.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it steadily builds throughout the morning and subsides in the afternoon. I'm not quite sure why that would be.
Basically, a huge portion of unattended devices have port 23 open to the Internet and have default password logins.

Read the article, I'm not at all confused. I got the pointer and a detailed analysis from Steve Gibson's Security Now podcast, broadcast Wednesday.
ReplyDeletegood. this is with ipv4, and all this workarounds like NAT, who still hide alot.... imagine now, what will happend with ipv6. when all devices can be accesible. ( yea i know firewalls etc. but still there is huge amount people who doesnt care about security)
ReplyDeleteTrue, but scans will be less easy with a 128 bit address space.
ReplyDelete"Acquiring position. Lock on established. Downloading latest intel package. Welcome back."
ReplyDeletemike santibanez it hs ben XX hours from your last lgn. i was worried about you! :)
ReplyDeleteColin Jones true. But i never heard about ful scan of ipv4 before... so never say never :)
It took him 6 months to develop a plan to perform the scan effectively by using open telnet machines as a botnet for 32 bits, 128 bits is almost 8 x 10^28 times the address space.
ReplyDeleteHynek, you apparently have no idea what ipv4 vs ipv6 is... It doesnt mean more devices on a network are visible. It just means more addresses are available. It has nothing to do with "Availability" of service to what this graphic is showing.
ReplyDeleteThis graphic is just showing the statistical availability of a service per ip address at given points in the day. Which in the US it appears that most people leave their machines on, where outside that, they turn their machines off at night. .. gee what a concept. Who would have guessed that we leave our computers and modems/routers on...
ReplyDeleteOver 90% of these devices aren't computers nor routers. Most are, in fact, printers.
ReplyDeleteIt's the subject of this week's Security Now: http://twit.tv/show/security-now/396
James Gockel thank you, i have . Try to study bit internet strucure.. Ipv6 will remove need for things like nating, which is curently hiding alots of devices. For example - when iphone jailbreak set default password for iphones in past, only some of iphones could be reached coz current internet structure.. of course there can be things like firewalls, but from my experience, people doesnt care about security.
ReplyDeleteIPv6 may remove the need for it, but are you going to pay for unique IPs? Hell my ISP only allows up to 8 static IPs, at a premium!... Why would I want 8 ips? I have no need to host 8 public devices to the internet. I, and 90% of the population barely have a need for one. Yes there are some entities that do. But natting secures stuff... anyone who thinks that IPv6 to allow all devices on their own DMZ is a smart or a good thing, is just out right stupid.
ReplyDeleteJames Gockel with ipv6 you will get it from isp without paying anything extra. Some ISP are giving bundle of ip just as part of basic package... I agree with you, in ideal world where everybody follow sec design nothing will happend, but reality is muxh different - at least we , who work in networking, can have fun sometimes,))
ReplyDeleteJames Gockel: NAT is not and never was a security measure ("security through obscurity" is no security at all in my book), proper packet filtering rules are.
ReplyDeleteAnd from that standpoint, a stateful IPv6 packet filter is configured exactly like an IPv4 one - minus the NAT rules.
