[nsp-sec] SSH brute force, co-ordinated, sort of.

Hi all,

I'm experimenting with a bit of data in my Splunk setup and wanted to
share it with The Rest Of You.

These IPs will be appearing in the daily-reports from Team Cymru for SSH
bruteforce attacks later today/tomorrow ($timezone dependent), but there
was something different about this subset.

Each of the below IPs performed the same username/password attempts
against a honeypot within about a 15 to 20 minute window.

Not all were at the same time, at the most 6 unique IPs were trying the
same user/pass combination within that 15 minute window.  The smallest
number was 4 systems. 

Whilst it's entirely possible this is mere coincidence, caused by
remotely compromised systems firing off the same scripts at roughly the
same time, I'd have expected MORE than 6 systems hitting our honeypot at
the same time-ish, and certainly greater consistency in the attack
pattern overall.

I have exact timestamps for anyone who wants them, but given how the
data is aggregated it was easier to present a list of all the affected
ASNs and IPs first.  The time range is 0800+1000 04 September through
0800+1000 05 September though, and I'm guessing many/most of these won't
be dynamic hosts anyway.

It might be interesting to find out if there's something
different/special about the kits used from these sources.

Happy hunting,
