It automatically logs username and password\ntries during brute-force attacks.\n\nThis repository contains two applications, `honeyssh` itself as well as `statsd`\nwhich provides a simple HTTP API to query logon attempts.\n\n## Installation and Usage\n\nInstallation of `honeyssh` requires a working `GoLang` environment:\n\n```bash\ngo install github.com/nethack42/honeyssh\n```\n\nWhen started without a configuration file or commandline parameters, `honeyssh`\nwill start in user/password logging mode. Incoming authentication requests are\nlogged and afterwards rejected with \"wrong password\".\n\n```bash\n$ ./setup_db.sh\n$ nohup ./statsd \u0026\n```\n\n```bash\nsudo ./honeyssh --listen 0.0.0.0:22\n...\nINFO[57] Logon attempt: host=112.99.218.173:51445 version=SSH-2.0-sshlib-0.1 user=\"root\" pass=\"system\"\nINFO[57] Logon attempt: host=112.99.218.173:51445 version=SSH-2.0-sshlib-0.1 user=\"root\" pass=\"raspi\"\nINFO[57] Logon attempt: host=112.99.218.173:51445 version=SSH-2.0-sshlib-0.1 user=\"root\" pass=\"ubnt\"\nINFO[57] Logon attempt: host=112.99.218.173:51445 version=SSH-2.0-sshlib-0.1 user=\"root\" pass=\"00000000\"\n...\n```\n\n\nQuery logon attempts:\n\n```bash\n$ curl http://localhost:4000/stats\n{\n    \"recent_ips\": {\n        \"153.99.182.12\": 102,\n        \"185.110.132.202\": 1,\n        \"185.29.9.169\": 3\n    },\n    \"recent_usernames\": {\n        \"globalflash\": 3,\n        \"root\": 102,\n        \"test\": 1\n    },\n    \"recent_passwords\": {\n        \"!QAZxsw2#EDC\": 1,\n        \"!QAZzaq1\": 1,\n        \"!qa2ws3ed\": 1,\n        \"00\": 1,\n        \"0o9i8u7y\": 1,\n        \"100200\": 1,\n        \"10203040\": 1,\n        \"110120\": 1,\n        \"1111111111\": 1,\n        \"121314\": 1,\n        \"123456789a\": 1,\n        \"123456789a123\": 1,\n        \"123456a?\": 1,\n        \"1234abc\": 1,\n        \"123qwe,.\": 1,\n        \"159159\": 1,\n        \"1qaz2wsx#EDC\": 1,\n        \"1qaz3edc\": 1,\n        \"1qazse4\": 1,\n        \"3.1415\": 1,\n        \"4444444\": 1,\n        \"@dmin\": 1,\n        \"Nopass@elong.com\": 1,\n        \"P@ssword123456\": 1,\n        \"Pass@1234\": 1,\n        \"abc.123\": 1,\n    }\n}\n```\n\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["\u003ca id=\"c8f749888134d57b5fb32382c78ef2d1\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eSSH\u0026\u0026Telnet","Honeypots"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fppacher%2Fhoneyssh","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fppacher%2Fhoneyssh","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fppacher%2Fhoneyssh/lists"}
