Identifies RDP clients attempting authentication using the legacy RDP security mode where credentials are exchanged through the older RDP security layer instead of Network Level Authentication (NLA). This indicates the client negotiated legacy plaintext authentication during the RDP security handshake

Remote client performs MongoDB service validation and environment fingerprinting by first initiating a wire-protocol handshake (ismaster / hello) followed by execution of the buildInfo command against the admin database. This sequence indicates targeted reconnaissance to determine server role, software version, build characteristics, and platform details. Such activity is commonly associated with automated scanning frameworks and pre-exploitation tooling used to assess exposure and identify version-specific vulnerabilities prior to authentication attempts or database enumeration

Client sends RTSP OPTIONS requests to check supported methods and confirm that an RTSP service is exposed, then disconnects without attempting authentication or stream setup. This pattern is typically associated with automated reconnaissance or internet-wide scanning rather than active stream access.

Identifies HTTP requests targeting the web server root path ("/"), typically used for initial service discovery, host validation, or baseline content inspection prior to deeper enumeration.

Identifies HTTPS requests targeting the web server root path ("/"), typically used for initial service discovery, host validation, or baseline content inspection prior to deeper enumeration

SMTP interaction identified as an internet-wide scanning probe originating from Censys infrastructure. The client announces itself via EHLO www.censys.io and issues a STARTTLS request to verify TLS upgrade support and collect service capability metadata. This pattern reflects automated reconnaissance and exposure mapping rather than direct exploitation, but still represents active external probing of the SMTP service.

Identifies HTTP GET requests directly targeting the /bad-request path, indicating automated or manual probing of application error-handling routes rather than legitimate navigation flow.

FTP session where the client issues AUTH TLS to upgrade the connection to Transport Layer Security. This reflects protocol-level encryption negotiation prior to further interaction.
