Got my first script kiddy (pawb.social)

Nice big old port scan. Brand new server too. Just a few days old so there is nothing to find. Don't worry I contacted AWS. Stay safe out there.

Umm..

You know how that works, right? Like, if you don't want to expose ports, just... don't expose them. But you can't prevent port scanning.

I would love to see the support request from AWS for this.

Edit: also, I think "script kiddy" is a bit of a stretch here.

I don't have any open ports. I do not care if I did. Port scanning is not authorized traffic.

Here you go:

Mandiant ASM scanners perform a variety of security-related data-gathering tasks, all intended to positively identify assets and their security posture. The gathered information is analyzed by our research team and proactively published to the owners of this information through our freemium product. No Collection task performed requires authorized access. It is intentionally designed to be light. While your IDS or WAF may have alerted on these scans, these are benign flags and are not indicative of malicious behavior.

If you have further questions, or would like to opt-out, please reply to this message and you will be routed to the appropriate team.

I think they have a LOT to learn about how the internet 'works' as well as how the internet works.

Thing is, for the average consumer of the internet, they have no real concept what's going on behind the webpage with the fancy graphics they happen to be looking at. When I try to explain to them that bots comprise conservatively 40-50% of all internet traffic which is about ~2 zettabytes per 24 hour period, they still don't get it. And really, they don't have to, that's the job of sysadmin. It's still pretty mind blowing.
