So, related to this post, I did some more analysis by letting a listener run for almost a day.
Here’s what I got:
Credentials
These are the top n results. The first number is the number of times that combo was used.

Summary
I’m not sure what we can infer from the top, say, five credentials are being used. Perhaps that there are more of them. Perhaps that there are more vulnerable versions of the devices that those creds are associated with. Maybe nothing. It’s something I’ll probably look at closer when I have time.
As for the countries, the top countries are interesting, the Ukraine and lots of Asia, then Brazil and Turkey. Russia and the United States ranked lower than I would have imagined.
Anyway, just wanted to post some stats. Will do more analysis later.
