ARACHNE // PERIMETER OBSERVATORY
The internet keeps poking the box.
A deliberately fake collection of web application surfaces living on a Raspberry Pi in its own little corner of the network. Automated scanners provide the entertainment. Arachne provides the telemetry.

What the spiders found
These numbers are aggregated from Arachne's local telemetry database. Nothing below exposes source IPs, submitted credentials, request paths, or other identifying request data.
In other words: you get the interesting bits. The scanners don't get free intelligence.

ABOUT ARACHNE
Cardboard façades. Real telemetry.
Arachne is not a real CMS, authentication service, or administration platform.
It presents believable public-facing surfaces that automated scanners might reasonably encounter and records how they interact with them.
