  • Hackers don’t poke around themselves, generally. They use bots and scripts to collect info and then return in person to pry open targets they want or find interesting.

    Op is tarpitting with a stream, which is a telltale sign of a honeypot, nothing else behaves that way. So a bot crawling for content? Fine. A bot collecting info for suitable targets? Might get the attention of the person looking. And once you have a hacker’s attention, you might be in trouble if they’re competent and start pressing buttons.

    You really have to know what you’re doing to understand where in the stack an attacker is going pull levers, which is as individual as people themselves.




  • One is sas6gb/s and the other is sas12gb/s, as someone else pointed out.

    You will be hard-pressed to make those drives make use of sas12g. I have them and I’ve beaten them up with various workloads, but I could not justify their use beside sata3. Cost-for-cost, even accounting for the better SAS ncq and smart data, spinning rust at those transfer speeds only make sense if you have the demand of many hundred users or more, which homelab almost certainly isn’t.

    The reason not to get them is that they draw substantially more power per disk than sata3 disks.
