Oh hi Ben. Interesting to read about attackers using CT log to find out which sites are new in order to try to login to admin pages first. Didn't know about this before, creative use of a CT log.

Nice, thanks. What are the different options (log streams?) you can select? I read the info box but it isn’t super clear. I figure the numbers are a year - how come there are 2027 ones with data being populated ? And how come something like ‘Argon2025h2’ also has data from ‘1h’ ago? I would expect data only on the 2026h1 - or are these some kind of shards but with weird year naming ?

This is fascinating; thank you for building it. (I also enjoyed watching the flurry of visitors as soon as my Let's Encrypt certificate got assigned. It's a Dark Forest out there!)

a lot of them are related to check24.de
