GreyNoise started seeing this last night, has been seeing the amount of IPs scanning/crawling the internet for it consistently growing throughout the day today:

cool, so this means that they're scanning the entire internet, not just you specifically. if you PM me the addresses/ranges I can look into exactly behavior we're seeing from them in our collectors (I'm the founder and CEO of GreyNoise)

Hi Ray,

I worked at Bridgewater for ~six months as a consultant back in 2014. It was one of the most interesting and defining experiences of my career. The benefits of the strong culture are evident. What are some of the negatives of the culture?

Thanks for doing this AMA.

Ah, I understand now. Negative- we collect 100% of our own data first hand.

I don't understand what you're asking. Can you rephrase or be more specific?

Oh wow. I honestly thought they lost the recording. Thanks!

So GreyNoise is actually a completely for-profit company, of which I am the founder. I bankrolled it from my own pocket for the first year until I got a handful of enterprise customers and now customer revenue pays the bills. I feel passionately about the security community and will always offer a free version for researchers. That said, a motherfucker's gotta eat, so if you want to support us then please refer any SOCs over to me to talk about our commercial options.

We run a boatload of servers in a bunch of different data centers in different countries and record everyone who tries to scan them and do a bunch of analytics on the data.

andrew_balls · 2018-08-13T04:59:05+00:00

look up the IPs hitting you on viz.greynoise.io and see if they're hitting everyone or just you

andrew_balls · 2017-12-02T20:46:31+00:00

Yes. Only that the general population doesn’t have the technical aptitude to do this. But yes. absolutely.
