I host a honeypot at my IP address, along with several websites. This honeypot has completely automated retaliatory scanning and a python script for weeding out uninteresting targets. I then filter through them, sometimes finding weird or cool websites.
Considering how many interesting things I’ve found so far, I figure I should start reporting them! These posts will be about them.
This website is a simple landing page for ‘AS3333 Reseaux IP Europeens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC)’. It features nothing but a black background, a white cat that chases your cursor (very cute) and the letters ‘AS3333’ in rainbow colors.

This website features bright green flashing text, and a warning not to purchase products from ‘anonrdp’. I guess they were not happy with their service.

56 Shadowfoundation hits and 91 other, most of which were uninteresting, contained illegal materials or were engaging in illegal activity, or were hacked IoT devices and DVRs seemingly acting in a botnet. Less DVRs then usual this month. The exposed *arr stacks seem to be completely gone. A couple of exposed ceph and node metrics.
This is so funny considering ripe.net seems to be a completely serious website. So some dev (presumably katia) just decided to have some fun :3
RIPE is pretty fundamental to the modern internet. It’s nice that they have fun!
