## The Responder Honeypot

This application detects active instances of [Responder](https://github.com/lgandx/Responder) by taking advantage of the fact that __Responder will respond to any DNS query__. Respotter uses LLMNR, mDNS, and NBNS protocols to search for a bogus hostname that does not exist (default: Loremipsumdolorsitamet). If any of the requests get a response back, then it means Responder is probably running on your network.

Respotter can send webhooks to Slack, Teams, or Discord. It also supports sending events to a syslog server to be ingested by a SIEM. Webhooks alerts are rate limited to 1 alert per IP per hour.

## Quick start

```bash
docker run --rm --net=host ghcr.io/lawndoc/respotter
```

*Note: `--net=host` is required due to privileged socket usage when crafting request packets*

## Demo

## Vulnerable host identification

Respotter will also listen for LLMNR, mDNS, and NBNS queries that originate from other hosts. Queries from other hosts will raise an alert, warning that the host may be susceptible to credential theft from Responder. Webhook alerts for vulnerable hosts are rate limited to 1 alert per IP:Protocol per day.

Respotter does NOT attempt to poison responses to sniffed queries. Poisoning responses isn't opsec-safe for the honeypot, and may cause issues with the client. Use Responder to identify accounts that are vulnerable to poisoning once a vulnerable host has been discovered by Respotter.

## Other notes

Tools that are similar to Responder such as [Inveigh](https://github.com/Kevin-Robertson/Inveigh) can also be detected because they perform similar spoofing attacks. See [LLMNR/NTB-NS Poisoning](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1557/001/) on Mitre ATT&CK for more details.
