I have a server in my pantry hosting some stuff, including an anonymous ftp server. I get a bot that uploads fake screensavers once in a while, and one time someone on 4chan made a million empty directories in it before I turned it off for 30 minutes and they got bored. I might be naive about getting hacked, but it's been up for 5 or 6 years now and nothing bad has happened. Edit: actually closer to 12 years total now, wtf I'm aging? | ||||||||

Yeah, this was roughly my experience too when I ran a little Pi server for fun. If you check the access logs you’ll see a bunch of automated low-effort bot attempts at directory traversal and the like. But nothing serious. Generally there has to be an ROI for someone to really want to go after you. | ||||||||

> I get a bot that uploads fake screensavers once in a while You're lucky it's that and not CSAM, a friend of mine had that happen and that took a lot of resources to properly clean up without him getting v& in the process. |
