124.71.166.79 has a threat confidence score of 91%. This IP address from China (AS55990, Huawei Cloud Service data center) has been observed in 15 honeypot sessions targeting SSH protocols. Detected attack patterns include ssh authorized keys persistence established, ssh interactive environment profiling with access consolidation. First observed on March 3, 2026, most recently active March 26, 2026.
Removal of filesystem attribute protections from the user’s .ssh directory followed by deletion and recreation of the directory and insertion of a new public key into authorized_keys. This pattern reflects deliberate modification of SSH trust configuration to establish persistent key-based access.
Identifies an SSH session performing multi-method system profiling (CPU model extraction, memory and disk inspection, active user/process monitoring), followed by SSH key replacement and password update indicative of interactive access validation and consolidation rather than single-shot automated takeover.
Attempts to remove filesystem attribute protections (e.g., immutable flags via chattr -i/-a) from the user’s ~/.ssh directory. This pattern indicates preparatory activity to modify SSH trust configuration, commonly preceding insertion or replacement of authorized_keys for persistence.
