Multi-protocol malware trap catching everything.

# Threat Intelligence Report: Comprehensive Analysis of Dionaea Honeypot Captures (NadSec Sydney, April 2026)

**Key Points:**
*   **Widespread Authentication Abuse:** The dataset reveals 3,933 brute-force attack indicators targeting NadSec's Sydney-based Dionaea honeypot in April 2026. The primary targets are standard administrative and database ports, specifically SMB (445), MSSQL (1433), MySQL (3306), and MongoDB (27017). 
*   **Emergence of "MongoBleed" Exploitation:** The data strongly suggests automated, internet-wide scanning and exploitation attempts leveraging CVE-2025-14847 ("MongoBleed"), a critical heap-memory disclosure vulnerability affecting MongoDB [cite: 1, 2].
*   **Ransomware Syndicates on MSSQL:** There is significant evidence leaning toward the active deployment of the Mallox (TargetCompany) and BlueSky ransomware families, which systematically brute-force port 1433 to enable `xp_cmdshell` for arbitrary code execution [cite: 3, 4].
*   **Evolving Botnets Target Legacy and AI-Generated Defaults:** The resurgence of GoBruteforcer and Ddostf botnets highlights an ongoing crisis of weak credential management, exacerbated by the mass reuse of AI-generated deployment templates containing predictable default credentials [cite: 5, 6].

**Executive Overview**
This report synthesizes forensic data captured by the Dionaea honeypot infrastructure managed by NadSec (Sydney) during April 2026. It appears likely that the observed traffic represents a mixture of opportunistic automated botnets, targeted ransomware access brokers, and legitimate (albeit noisy) internet security scanners. Threat actors continuously rely on scanning massive Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) blocks to identify exposed, misconfigured databases and file-sharing services. 

**Scope and Methodology**
The analysis is based on an enriched STIX 2.1 dataset containing 3,933 indicators of compromise (IOCs). A smart sample of 800 IP addresses was extracted for deep-dive attribution. Because the dataset explicitly captured zero file hashes and zero URLs, malware attribution in this report is heuristically derived from port targeting patterns, attacker geolocation, Autonomous System Number (ASN) abuse, and corroborating global threat intelligence.

## 1. Executive Summary

In April 2026, the NadSec T-Pot honeypot infrastructure in Sydney, Australia, recorded a sustained barrage of 3,933 brute-force and exploitation events. The Dionaea sensor, specifically designed to emulate vulnerable services and capture malware payloads, documented a threat landscape dominated by database subjugation, Internet of Things (IoT) botnet propagation, and enterprise ransomware deployment.

The most critical development observed in this reporting period is the aggressive targeting of MongoDB instances (TCP/27017). This activity aligns with the recent disclosure and subsequent weaponization of **MongoBleed (CVE-2025-14847)**, an unauthenticated memory leak vulnerability carrying a CVSS score of 8.7 [cite: 1, 7]. Concurrently, Microsoft SQL Server (TCP/1433) and MySQL (TCP/3306) remain prime targets for financially motivated threat actors. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) groups such as **Mallox** and DDoS botnets like **Ddostf** and **GoBruteforcer** heavily saturate these attack vectors [cite: 5, 8, 9]. 

Furthermore, the data indicates severe infrastructure abuse originating from specific hosting providers and telecommunications networks. Notably, Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) and UCLOUD Information Technology HK Limited are heavily represented in the attack logs, functioning as launchpads for SMB and database brute-forcing [cite: 10, 11]. The inclusion of benign security scanners—such as Censys and ONYPHE—highlights the necessity for SOC teams to filter out research noise from genuine malicious activity.

## 2. Statistical Overview

The following statistics are derived from the aggregate enrichment of the full 3,933 STIX 2.1 indicators, offering a macroscopic view of attacker priorities.

### 2.1 Top Targeted Ports & Services

The distribution of targeted ports provides direct insight into the threat actors' operational objectives. 

| Port | Protocol/Service | Event Count | Percentage of Total | Primary Associated Threats |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **445** | SMB | 1,718 | 43.68% | EternalBlue (MS17-010), Ransomware lateral movement, SMB brute-force [cite: 12, 13] |
| **1433** | MSSQL | 414 | 10.52% | Mallox Ransomware, BlueSky Ransomware, Coinminers [cite: 4, 14] |
| **3306** | MySQL | 373 | 9.48% | Ddostf botnet, GoBruteforcer, Owari botnet [cite: 15, 16] |
| **81** | HTTP (IoT/CCTV) | 337 | 8.56% | Persirai botnet, Mirai variants (Omni, Wicked) [cite: 17, 18] |
| **21** | FTP | 287 | 7.29% | GoBruteforcer [cite: 19] |
| **27017**| MongoDB | 283 | 7.19% | MongoBleed (CVE-2025-14847), Database wiping [cite: 20] |
| **1723** | PPTP (VPN) | 207 | 5.26% | VPN Brute-forcing, Initial Access Brokers [cite: 21] |
| **135** | RPC / EPMAP | 152 | 3.86% | Windows RPC exploitation, network reconnaissance |
| **1883** | MQTT | 133 | 3.38% | IoT botnets, unencrypted telemetry hijacking [cite: 22, 23] |
| **42** | WINS / Nameserver | 15 | 0.38% | Legacy network exploitation, Mirrord |

### 2.2 Attack Labels and Modus Operandi
100% of the 3,933 indicators were labeled strictly as `bruteforce` by the Dionaea sensor. This highlights a pervasive methodology: attackers prefer exploiting weak, default, or easily guessable credentials over deploying complex zero-day exploits, though they will rapidly adopt low-complexity N-days (such as CVE-2025-14847) when they facilitate unauthenticated access [cite: 2].

## 3. Infrastructure Deep Dive

A critical component of modern threat intelligence is tracking the infrastructure utilized by threat actors. Attackers frequently leverage bulletproof hosting, compromised residential networks, and legitimate cloud service providers (CSPs) to conduct their operations. 

### 3.1 Telecommunications and Residential Botnet Abuse
Residential IP addresses are highly prized by attackers because they are less likely to be blocked by enterprise firewalls compared to known data center IP ranges. 

*   **AS45899 (VNPT Corp, Vietnam):** 
    The data reveals a massive concentration of attacks originating from VNPT Corp, specifically targeting TCP port 445 (SMB). IPs such as `14.191.116.70` (116 events) and `14.241.108.53` (3,102 events) generated the highest volume of traffic in the entire dataset. Threat intelligence databases consistently flag this ASN for abusive behavior, including DDoS participation and port scanning [cite: 11, 24, 25]. This suggests a vast botnet composed of compromised Vietnamese residential routers or IoT devices executing automated SMB scanning, potentially searching for unpatched EternalBlue vulnerabilities or weak SMB shares [cite: 12, 13].
*   **AS7713 (PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia):**
    Similarly, IPs from this Indonesian telecom (e.g., `180.246.231.213`, `110.136.57.58`) frequently targeted ports 445 and 1433. This indicates a broader trend of compromised Southeast Asian telecom infrastructure being co-opted into initial access broker (IAB) botnets.

### 3.2 Cloud Provider and Bulletproof Hosting Abuse
Threat actors routinely register ephemeral virtual private servers (VPS) to host Command and Control (C2) infrastructure and deploy scanning scripts.

*   **AS135377 (UCLOUD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY HK LIMITED):**
    This Hong Kong-based cloud provider appeared extensively in the dataset, particularly targeting MySQL (3306) and HTTP (81). Intelligence sources report that AS135377 has a notorious history of abuse, frequently utilized to host botnet infrastructure, launch spam campaigns, and distribute malware [cite: 10, 26]. IP addresses such as `107.150.105.5` and `152.32.208.7` demonstrate high-frequency probing. The ASN acts as a primary vector for GoBruteforcer and MQTT brute-forcing nodes [cite: 5, 27].
*   **AS14061 (DigitalOcean, LLC) & AS396982 (Google LLC):**
    Western cloud giants are disproportionately represented in the logs. Attackers exploit free trials, stolen credit cards, or compromised tenant accounts to spin up offensive infrastructure. DigitalOcean IPs (e.g., `68.183.28.72` with 31 events on port 27017) and Google Cloud IPs were predominantly seen attacking MongoDB (27017) and MySQL (3306). 
*   **AS212512 (Detai Prosperous Technologies Limited) & AS51396 (Pfcloud UG):**
    These smaller, often offshore hosting companies are frequently categorized as "bulletproof" or highly lenient hosts. IP `45.82.78.103` (Detai) aggressively targeted MongoDB, while Pfcloud IPs routinely scanned MQTT (1883) and port 81. 

### 3.3 Research Scanners vs. Malicious Actors
A challenge in honeypot analysis is separating legitimate cybersecurity scanning from hostile reconnaissance. 
*   **AS398324 (Censys, Inc.) & AS213412 (ONYPHE SAS):**
    Dozens of IPs belonging to Censys and ONYPHE were captured. These entities map the internet for research purposes [cite: 28]. While their traffic triggers honeypot alerts, it is fundamentally benign. However, threat actors often monitor the output of these services to identify vulnerable targets, effectively outsourcing their initial reconnaissance.
*   **AS401626 (Netiface America, Inc.):**
    Netiface operates in a gray area. IPs such as `64.89.163.140` and `64.89.163.85` actively scanned ports 3306 and 27017. While sometimes classified as a scanner proxy [cite: 29, 30], numerous threat intelligence feeds flag Netiface IPs for executing brute-force web application attacks and excessive PHP/CMS probing [cite: 28, 31].

## 4. Malware Analysis and TTP Mapping

*Note: The Dionaea dataset provided contained no file hashes or payload URLs. Consequently, this malware analysis is generated through behavioral heuristics, port correlation, and cross-referencing observed TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) with current global threat intelligence.*

### 4.1 MongoDB Exploitation: The MongoBleed Crisis
**Target:** TCP 27017
The 283 attacks targeting port 27017 are heavily correlated with **CVE-2025-14847**, colloquially known as **MongoBleed**. 

**Vulnerability Mechanics:**
Disclosed in December 2025, MongoBleed is an unauthenticated memory disclosure vulnerability residing in MongoDB Server's handling of zlib-compressed network messages (CVSS 8.7) [cite: 1, 32]. MongoDB uses the `OP_MSG` opcode encoded in BSON. When compressed, it uses an `OP_COMPRESSED` struct containing an `uncompressedSize` integer [cite: 2]. By sending a crafted message where the `uncompressedSize` field is manipulated to be vastly larger than the actual payload, an attacker forces the server to allocate an oversized memory buffer. The server then returns uninitialized heap memory to the attacker [cite: 1, 2].

**Impact and Behavior:**
This "Heartbleed-style" vulnerability allows attackers to extract plaintext database passwords, session tokens, and cryptographic keys directly from RAM [cite: 7, 20]. The captured honeypot data indicates aggressive, automated scanning by IPs (e.g., DigitalOcean's `206.189.184.175`) seeking to exploit the roughly 100,000+ internet-exposed MongoDB instances [cite: 20]. 

### 4.2 MSSQL Ransomware Syndicates: Mallox and BlueSky
**Target:** TCP 1433
The 414 events targeting Microsoft SQL Server reflect the persistent threat of database-centric Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operations, most notably the **Mallox** (also known as TargetCompany or FARGO) and **BlueSky** groups [cite: 4, 9].

**Attack Chain:**
1.  **Initial Access:** Attackers employ automated scanners (e.g., Masscan) to find open 1433 ports. They then launch dictionary brute-force attacks against the default `sa` (system administrator) account using common passwords (e.g., `sa:1234`, `sa:P@ssw0rd`) [cite: 9, 14].
2.  **Execution:** Once authenticated, they execute `EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1;` to enable the SQL command shell feature [cite: 3, 33]. 
3.  **Delivery:** Using `xp_cmdshell`, attackers execute PowerShell scripts or leverage the Bulk Copy Program (BCP) utility to download the ransomware payload (often dropping remote access trojans like Remcos RAT first) [cite: 3, 4].
4.  **Impact:** Mallox terminates conflicting services (e.g., `sqlserv.exe`), deletes Volume Shadow Copies, encrypts the database using ChaCha20, appends the `.rmallox` extension, and drops a `HOW TO BACK FILES.txt` ransom note [cite: 4, 34].

### 4.3 Database Botnets: GoBruteforcer and Ddostf
**Target:** TCP 3306 (MySQL), TCP 21 (FTP)

**GoBruteforcer:**
Written entirely in Golang, the GoBruteforcer botnet targets Linux web servers running MySQL, PostgreSQL, FTP, and phpMyAdmin [cite: 15, 35]. In early 2026, Check Point Research observed a sophisticated update to this malware. It now heavily exploits the mass reuse of AI-generated server deployment templates [cite: 5, 6]. Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently generate tutorial code with weak default credentials (e.g., `myuser:Abcd@123`). GoBruteforcer utilizes these exact AI-hallucinated credential lists to brute-force databases [cite: 6, 36]. Upon successful intrusion, it deploys a heavily obfuscated IRC bot to establish Command and Control (C2) and drops a PHP web shell [cite: 6, 15]. Recently, the botnet has explicitly targeted the databases of cryptocurrency and blockchain projects, attempting to steal TRON and BSC wallets [cite: 5, 6].

**Ddostf:**
Operating since 2016, this Chinese-origin botnet specifically targets Windows and Linux MySQL servers via port 3306 [cite: 16, 37]. After brute-forcing the administrator account, the threat actors deploy a malicious User-Defined Function (UDF) Dynamic Link Library (DLL) into the MySQL environment [cite: 16, 38]. This UDF allows the execution of arbitrary operating system commands, facilitating the installation of the Ddostf payload. The malware profiles the host's CPU and network speed and awaits instructions to execute SYN, UDP, or HTTP GET/POST flood attacks, effectively operating as a DDoS-for-hire service [cite: 8, 38]. 

### 4.4 IoT Botnets: Persirai, Mirai, and MQTT Abuse
**Target:** TCP 81, TCP 1883

**Persirai and Port 81:**
The 337 events targeting port 81 are heavily indicative of the **Persirai** botnet and newer Mirai variants (such as Omni and Wicked) [cite: 17, 18]. Persirai specifically targets the web interfaces of over 1,000 models of OEM Internet Protocol (IP) CCTV cameras [cite: 18, 39]. It bypasses standard port restrictions by exploiting Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to punch a hole through the router [cite: 39, 40]. Following a command injection, the camera downloads a malicious script (e.g., `wificam.sh`) from an Iranian `.ir` domain, executes in memory, and deletes its tracks [cite: 39, 41]. 

**MQTT (Port 1883) Hijacking:**
Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a lightweight IoT machine-to-machine protocol [cite: 42, 43]. The 133 brute-force events targeting port 1883 exploit the fact that many MQTT brokers are deployed without TLS encryption (port 8883) and often lack authentication (returning connection code 0) [cite: 22, 43]. Attackers use tools like `mqtt-spy` to subscribe to topics, steal telemetry data, or brute-force weak broker credentials to co-opt the underlying Linux servers into botnets [cite: 23, 43].

## 5. Campaign Analysis

By correlating the timestamp, geographical, and port data, four distinct but overlapping campaigns were active against the NadSec honeypot in April 2026:

1.  **The MongoBleed Mass Exploitation Campaign:** Following the public release of the CVE-2025-14847 Proof of Concept in late December 2025 [cite: 1, 20], threat actors rapidly integrated the exploit into their automated scanning scripts. The activity captured in April 2026 represents the "long tail" of this campaign, as attackers relentlessly comb cloud providers (DigitalOcean, AWS, Azure) looking for unpatched version 7.x and 8.x instances that have not yet disabled zlib compression [cite: 7, 32].
2.  **The RaaS MSSQL Syndicate Push:** Ransomware operators utilizing Mallox and BlueSky operate continuously. Because these attacks require a direct, unauthenticated connection to port 1433, attackers rely heavily on bulletproof hosting and hijacked cloud tenants to maintain high-throughput dictionary attacks without being immediately blacklisted by ISPs [cite: 33, 34].
3.  **The AI-Default Credential Harvesting Wave (GoBruteforcer):** The targeting of ports 3306 (MySQL) and 21 (FTP) aligns directly with the documented mid-2025/early-2026 upgrade of the GoBruteforcer botnet. Attackers are actively betting that system administrators blindly copy-pasted ChatGPT/Copilot configurations containing hardcoded weak passwords directly into production servers [cite: 5, 36]. 
4.  **Southeast Asian SMB Botnet Expansion:** The overwhelming volume of traffic generated by VNPT Corp (Vietnam) directed at port 445 illustrates a massive, established residential botnet. These bots blindly fire SMB exploit packets (likely MS17-010 EternalBlue variants) into the global IPv4 space, seeking to rapidly propagate their payload to unpatched legacy Windows infrastructure [cite: 13, 44].

## 6. Detection and Mitigation Strategies

Organizations must implement defense-in-depth strategies to counter the diverse threats documented in this report.

### 6.1 Firewall and Network Segmentation
*   **Zero Trust Architecture:** Ports 445 (SMB), 1433 (MSSQL), 3306 (MySQL), and 27017 (MongoDB) should **never** be exposed to the public internet [cite: 12, 32, 33]. 
*   **VPN / Bastion Hosts:** All database access must be routed through a securely configured VPN, zero-trust network access (ZTNA) gateway, or bastion host with multi-factor authentication (MFA) [cite: 14].
*   **UPnP Disablement:** Disable Universal Plug and Play on all corporate and edge routers to prevent IoT malware like Persirai from exposing internal webcams (Port 81) to the internet [cite: 39, 40].

### 6.2 Application Hardening
*   **MongoDB:** Immediately update MongoDB to patched versions (e.g., 8.2.4, 8.0.18, 7.0.29) to remediate CVE-2025-14847. As an interim workaround, disable `zlib` compression in the MongoDB configuration file [cite: 1, 45].
*   **MSSQL:** Disable the `xp_cmdshell` stored procedure (`EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 0; RECONFIGURE;`). Furthermore, disable or rename the default `sa` account and enforce rigorous account lockout policies to thwart dictionary attacks [cite: 14, 33, 46].
*   **MQTT:** Ensure all IoT telemetry is routed over encrypted MQTTS (TCP 8883) rather than plaintext MQTT (TCP 1883), and mandate strict username/password authentication for broker access [cite: 22, 43].

### 6.3 SIEM Queries and Threat Hunting (Splunk SPL)
To detect the behavioral patterns of these campaigns, SOC teams should implement the following logic:

*   **Detecting MSSQL xp_cmdshell enablement (Mallox/BlueSky):**
    ```sql
    index=windows EventCode=4688 Image="*sqlservr.exe*" CommandLine="*xp_cmdshell*"
    | stats count by _time, host, Account_Name
    ```
*   **Detecting Rapid Authentication Failures (Database Brute-force):**
    ```sql
    index=database (EventCode=18456 OR action=failure) (port=1433 OR port=3306 OR port=27017)
    | bin _time span=1m 
    | stats count by src_ip, dest_port 
    | where count > 50
    ```

### 6.4 Snort / Suricata Signatures
*   **MongoBleed (CVE-2025-14847) Detection Concept:**
    Write a Suricata rule to inspect the `OP_COMPRESSED` MongoDB BSON packet. Alert if the `uncompressedSize` field significantly exceeds the actual payload byte depth, indicating a memory allocation exploit attempt.
*   **GoBruteforcer IRC C2 Detection:**
    ```text
    alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET 6667 (msg:"MALWARE [GoBruteforcer] IRC C2 Communication"; flow:established,to_server; content:"JOIN"; nocase; content:"NICK"; nocase; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:1000001; rev:1;)
    ```

## 7. MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

The TTPs observed in the honeypot data map directly to the following MITRE ATT&CK framework techniques:

*   **Initial Access:** 
    *   T1190: Exploit Public-Facing Application (MongoBleed, EternalBlue, UPnP zero-days).
    *   T1078.003: Valid Accounts: Local Accounts (GoBruteforcer, Ddostf).
*   **Credential Access:**
    *   T1110.001: Brute Force: Password Guessing (Across all ports 21, 1433, 3306).
    *   T1110.002: Brute Force: Password Cracking.
*   **Execution:**
    *   T1059.003: Command and Scripting Interpreter: Windows Command Shell (MSSQL `xp_cmdshell` abuse).
*   **Impact:**
    *   T1486: Data Encrypted for Impact (Mallox, BlueSky Ransomware).
    *   T1498: Network Denial of Service (Ddostf, Persirai, Mirai).
