    Yeah we had a discussion about it a month or so back.

    They don't tell you it on this map (they do on their site), but those hack attempts are hitting Norse honeypots with sensors that report back.

    Still makes an interesting thing to watch though.

    Yeah, that's in their blog somewhere. This is basically just for data. But it's fun to watch. :)

    The little lines shooting back and forth?


    Of course they are. Data doesn't move that slowly, and it lags behind the live attacks which are listed in a table below. The colors are also different each time you load it. The Live Attacks table is the same between my browser windows.

    This is also heavily taxing the browser, which means things will not run as fast with two vs. one, nor will there be a perfect sync in framerate.

    Nice map and think the differences in data are likely attributable to as Adryn said data lag and the fact that we would start a new page on the site at a different time point, and that could give a different map as don't think its as dynamic to change the map from the time point you started on. I started three and all different but at different time points, but the attacks seem to be from same locations, different colours in map and that could look different to folk, but be the same attack location.

    Could be very wrong though...
