Building an analytics UI from web honeypot logs

I built this from web honeypot logs because the raw output is mostly noise, and the useful part is buried in repetition, timing, and source clusters. The trick is to stop the dashboard turning into a trash fire, and let the patterns speak for themselves.

Older clients after root CA rotation

Older clients rarely fail politely after an SSL.com root certificate rotation, and I have seen enough broken TLS to stop trusting “it works on my laptop”. The real problem is usually old trust stores or pinning to a dead hierarchy, which is tedious, predictable, and easy to miss.

Cognito federated login before user persistence

AWS Cognito’s awkward bit is not token issuance, it is timing. If `AWS Cognito PreSignUp_ExternalProvider` is not doing the real gatekeeping, you are already in cleanup territory, and I have no interest in calling that a control.

AWS Cognito PreSignUp_ExternalProvider and federated account creation

Federated sign-in in Cognito is less tidy than people assume. If you put the check in the wrong trigger, AWS Cognito PreSignUp_ExternalProvider can still let a user record land before anyone else gets a say, and that is the bit worth fixing.
