#250 packets a day is peanuts, I think the lowest ranking service group that I track is printers, and even that's around ~200 unique ips per day.

#3I love investigating internet background radiation, this is interesting research. I've definitely seen spa504g.cfg (IP Phone) and spa112.cfg (Cisco analog terminal adapter) before; you should actually serve these a proper config file and spin up a disposable SIP server so you can (potentially) call them on the phone, send them a fax or even better ATDT ;)
Though, come to think of it these requests are more likely from credential harvesting bots as most ITSP's provision their CPE with a .cfg or similar.

>peanuts
No kidding. I have a few personal services running on Internet-facing servers and they get hammered 24/7.
One of my projects is written in Rails and I had left the server on the default verbosity during development. It accumulated several GB of systemd/journald logs in a matter of weeks.
50 packets a day sounds like a dream.

#6I know tftp is still in wide use, I wonder if there's things out there looking for stuff that's less common like NNTP, finger servers, etc

Man, besides being slow; I really miss those days.
I could say I was "into computers" and it meant something. Eternal September ruined it.

Eternal september is more of a concept than a real thing; you had to have seen that by now; almost everything gets ruined when there's no discriminating force.

#9I like the prompt injection attempt on the footer:

This reminds me of Slashdot commenters back in the day that tried to include words like "bomb" in their signatures in the hopes of flagging some government system. I am glad that people haven't gotten tired of this sort of tomfoolery and have adapted it for a modern world :)

If I'm not mistaken, it's not a prompt injection attempt, but a training data pollution, in order to prepare for a prompt injection later :) great idea
