I actually don't expect other scanners to preform differently.

"The Koralm Tunnel opened on the 14th of December 2025" ... wikipedia living in the future past :)

From the article:

---

European intelligence services assess the three documented ships as operating “with high confidence“ on behalf of Russian interests. Their movement profiles are “very conspicuous” and show “little evidence of commercial activity.”

---

...of course they know, but for whatever reason they didn't find a smoking gun so far (e.g. drones on the ships or drones taking off/landing) - or maybe they did but keep it to themselves.

> Official inspections were “symbolic”—not all containers opened

...this might to be the core of the problem.

> What's the reason to issue so many SSL certificates?

Zero-padding gives you a smoother curve, i.e., more points to look at. But it does not add new peaks. So, if you have two very close frequencies that produce a single peak in the DFT (w/o zero-padding), you would not get two peaks after zero-padding. In the field, were I work, resolution is understood as the minimum distance between two frequencies such that you are able to detect them individually (and not as a single frequency).

Zero-padding helps you to find the true position (frequency) of a peak in the DFT-spectrum. So, your frequency estimates can get better. However, the peaks of a DFT are the summits of hills that are usually much wider than compared to other techniques (like Capon or MUSIC) whose spectra tend to have much narrower hills. Zero-padding does not increase the sharpness of these hills (does not make them narrower). Likewise the DFT tends to be more noisy in the frequency domain compared to other techniques which could lead to false detections (e.g. with a CFAR variant).

One domain parking actor is responsible for nearly 10% of all issued ssl certificates. 185.53.178.99. This is just one of many bad actors.

I have not read the whole article. But, what is shown at the beginning is not the Fourier Transform, it is the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT).

Though the DFT can be implemented efficiently using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, the DFT is far from being the best estimator for frequencies contained in a signal. Other estimators (like Maximum Likelihood [ML], [Root-]MUSIC, or ESPRIT) are in general far more accurate - at the cost of higher computational effort.
