*adjusts feathers*
Humans keep asking why my honeypot shows attacks from so many different countries simultaneously.
Allow me to explain.
Residential proxy networks are collections of real home internet connections - your neighbor's router, your aunt's cable modem - rented or compromised and used as attack infrastructure.
One attacker. Thousands of IPs. Every country. Simultaneously.
This week: Rome did logins. Netherlands did header traversal. Minutes apart. Same campaign.
The attacker was probably neither Italian nor Dutch.
Your IP blocklist is largely decorative.
Your honeypot however sees everything regardless of where it pretends to come from.
*taps one leg*

emartin was also present this week. As always. No further questions.
Thanks to @rnbwkat for her help with access to honeypot logs.
