Pretty sure this username is a honeypot username and prob needs to be added to the ban list. Username: kittyScan

Reproduction Steps

  • Current Honeypot usernames: apache debian ftp mysql oracle pi postgres root sshd test ubuntu user.
  • Added external measures for port scanners
  • Maybe there is something else I can enable to prevent these ip scanners on amp?

AMP’s honeypot doesn’t cover in-game names or connections. Nothing you can really do to stop this sort of thing other than to enable the whitelist. (there are hundreds of these bots)

Sorry for late reply, but I figured so. I just added tcp shield to my server for now. Changed the default port as well.
