Signature = SHA-256 of the ordered path[result] sequence (≤40 steps). Same signature across IPs = one tooling campaign; IPs rotate, signatures persist.

SSH/telnet honeypot (single sensor: frantech-ts)

Own honeypots on :2222/:2323, not the flux trap surface. Condensed feed (/data/hp-logs/), deliberately not part of v_logs. One host, so read it as a single-sensor view, not a fleet number.

  • funnel: 474 sources sent credentials → 350 got a shell (74%) → 277 ran a command (79% of shell-getters, 58% of sources)
  • event level: 19539 credential attempts → 3586 accepted logins → 6970 commands (194% of accepted logins go on to run something)
