China's global appeal is surging, with a new poll showing a remarkable 11-point jump in those favoring it as the world's leading power. This rise in soft power is fueled by trendy exports, cutting-edge tech, and a perception of stability compared to a chaotic America. Crucially, young people worldwide are nearly as likely to prefer China as the US, marking a generational shift that signals a major global realignment.

We’ve published new research from the EU co-funded project NGSOTI: “Learning from large-scale IPv4 blackhole: Behavioral analysis of SNMP traffic”.
Over a 12-month period (Nov 2024–Oct 2025), our network telescope captured ~634 million unsolicited SNMP queries from more than 153,000 unique IPv4 sources scanning an unused /18 block.
The origins of the traffic are globally distributed, with notable concentrations from Indonesia, China, the United States, Germany, Chile and others, as well as a few outliers generating unusually high volumes. A significant portion of the scanning activity can also be attributed to infrastructure belonging to commercial threat-intelligence and scanning companies, providing useful context on what constitutes “expected” background noise.
The analysis covers SNMP version usage (v1/v2c overwhelmingly dominant, minimal v3), community-string patterns (default, weak, and undocumented strings), and OIDs that point to which device vendors are most scanned.
This dataset provides insight into real-world reconnaissance trends targeting SNMP-capable infrastructure, helping defenders better understand background noise and scanning behaviours.
