Open Honeypot Data

This is currently a proof-of-concept.

  • Current number of honeypot severs: 6
  • Server Locations: globally, different VPS providers
  • IP Protocol: IPv4-only for now
  • Times: UTC

The goals:

  • gathering information about common attacks
  • sharing data
  • learning to automate

Honeypot Types

SSH

Data is percent-encoded (like an URL) to provide the information lossless and fully reversible as all kind of special characters are getting entered into the login field.. Spaces are %20. This adds one step, but makes it easier to see differences and run reports. Use something like Cyberchef to decode it in your browser.

  • harvesting of credentials used in brute force attempts
  • honeypot listening on default port TCP/22
  • low interactive, harvest credentials, no shell

It is productive, but I have to process the data.
