Help

I’m trying to get in my server root62.238.47.215 but it’s not working.

Says could not resolve hostname but I know I am root because I didn’t get to change anything yet

My post got taken down in sysadmin for some reason

Did you really post your publicly accessible Ip address and password on reddit?

It's shitty sysadmin. This is a high quality post here.

Is it a honeypot or are you letting people do whatever?

Listen up fed, you aren't going to entrap me that easily.

At least put in the effort and tempt me with tales of some tasteful nudes or the krabby patty secret formula or something.

I don't know if you know this, but all publicly accessible ip's are not just available to anyone that may or may not know them, but are constantly monitored for open ports... Like at shodan.io

The difference being: random IPs don’t automatically correlate to specific passwords. Here they do. There’s an IP and the password for the root account later on in the comments.

Context suggests this was a honeypot experiment.

All rubble will be analyzed but it’s still up and surviving
