I think I screwed up ….

Yesterday I was doing a few vulnhub ctf’s while I had some downtime at work.

I stepped a way to use the bathroom, and got side tracked with work stuff…

I came back and my ADD kicked in and I was messing about and found a scam website.

I got their ip and wrote it down.

I ran Whois and found out they were being hosted on go daddy.

And turned them in to go daddy’s abuse email….

Fast forward about an hour, I was going back to my vulnhub and was trying to reconnect via ssh, and put in the wrong IP address. I put in the one I wrote down earlier (again ADD).

I attempted to log in like 4 times wondering why I couldn’t get back in….

Fast forward about 20 minutes and my entire network loses all internet connectivity from the ISP, I’m afraid that my failed ssh attempts were picked up by my ISP and they shut it off.

In which case I could be facing charges and will most likely lose my job….

But it was an honest mistake and I don’t know how big I messed up just yet…

Any advice?

PS I was not using a VPN because I was just doing a CTF… my bad.
