# Project Status



This project is undergoing a partial rewrite for Python 3 targeting Ubuntu 20.04 as the primary platform.

The last stable commit would be `be58cbf8c726c29c4c0f993023688fdbd026ee05` for Ubuntu 18.04, although you may still encounter dependency issues. Please continue to report any bugs found. Pull requests are encouraged!

====================



MHN is a centralized server for management and data collection of honeypots. MHN

allows you to deploy sensors quickly and to collect data immediately, viewable

from a neat web interface. Honeypot deploy scripts include several common

honeypot technologies, including [Snort](https://snort.org/),

[Cowrie](https://www.cowrie.org/),

[Dionaea](https://dionaea.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), and

[glastopf](https://github.com/mushorg/glastopf), among others.



For questions regarding troubleshooting your installation, please review the

[MHN Troubleshooting

Guide](https://github.com/pwnlandia/mhn/wiki/MHN-Troubleshooting-Guide),

search past questions on the [modern-honey-network Google

Group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/modern-honey-network), or send

emails to .



## Features



MHN is a Flask application that exposes an HTTP API that honeypots can use to:

- Download a deploy script

- Connect and register

- Download snort rules

- Send intrusion detection logs



It also allows system administrators to:

- View a list of new attacks

- Manage snort rules: enable, disable, download



## Installation



- The MHN server is supported on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and Centos 6.9.  

- Other versions of Linux may work but are generally not tested or supported.



Note: if you run into trouble during the install, please checkout the [troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/Pwnlandia/MHN/wiki/MHN-Troubleshooting-Guide) on the wiki.  If you only want to experiment with MHN on some virtual machines, please check out the [Getting up and Running with Vagrant](https://github.com/Pwnlandia/mhn/wiki/Getting-up-and-running-using-Vagrant) guide on the wiki.



Install Git



    # on Debian or Ubuntu

    $ sudo apt install git -y

    

Install MHN

    

    $ cd /opt/

    $ sudo git clone https://github.com/pwnlandia/mhn.git

    $ cd mhn/



Run the following script to complete the installation.  While this script runs,

you will be prompted for some configuration options.  See below for how this

looks.



    $ sudo ./install.sh

### Running



If the installation scripts ran successfully, you should have a number of

services running on your MHN server.  See below for checking these.



    user@precise64:/opt/mhn/scripts$ sudo /etc/init.d/nginx status

     * nginx is running

    user@precise64:/opt/mhn/scripts$ sudo /etc/init.d/supervisor status

### Running MHN Behind a Proxy



For directions on running MHN behind a web proxy, follow the directions in the

[wiki.](https://github.com/pwnlandia/mhn/wiki/Running-MHN-Behind-a-Web-Proxy)



### Running MHN Over HTTPS



By default MHN will run without HTTPS, to configure your installation to use SSL

certificates directions can be found in the [wiki.](https://github.com/pwnlandia/mhn/wiki/Running-MHN-Over-HTTPS)



### Running MHN with Docker (not maintained)



Running MHN in docker is not officially supported, but it might work.

The container takes a few minutes to start at the first launch to initialize.

Splunk, ArcSight and ELK are not yet supported in Docker.



#### Build it



	$ docker build -t mhn .



#### Run it



    $ docker run -d -p 10000:10000 -p 80:80 -p 3000:3000 -p 8089:8089 \

    $ --restart unless-stopped \

    $ --name mhn \

    $ -e SUPERUSER_EMAIL=root@localhost \

    $ -e SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=password \

    $ -e SERVER_BASE_URL="http://mhn" \

    $ -e HONEYMAP_URL="http://mhn:3000" \

    $ mhn

	

#### Environment variables



	SUPERUSER_EMAIL

	SUPERUSER_PASSWORD

	SERVER_BASE_URL

	HONEYMAP_URL

	DEBUG_MODE

	SMTP_HOST

	SMTP_PORT

	SMTP_TLS

	SMTP_SSL

	SMTP_USERNAME

	SMTP_PASSWORD

## Deploying honeypots with MHN



MHN was designed to make scalable deployment of honeypots easier.  Here are the

steps for deploying a honeypot with MHN:



1. Login to your MHN server web app.

2. Click the "Deploy" link in the upper left hand corner.

3. Select a type of honeypot from the drop down menu (e.g. "Ubuntu Dionaea").

4. Copy the deployment command.

5. Login to a honeypot server and run this command as root.



If the deploy script successfully completes you should see the new sensor listed

under your deployed sensor list. For a full list of supported sensors, check the list here: [List of Supported Sensors](https://github.com/pwnlandia/mhn/wiki/List-of-Supported-Sensors)



## Integration with Splunk and ArcSight



hpfeeds-logger can be used to integrate MHN with Splunk and ArcSight.



#### Splunk



    cd /opt/mhn/scripts/

    sudo ./install_hpfeeds-logger-splunk.sh



This will log the events as key/value pairs to /var/log/mhn-splunk.log.  This

log should be monitored by the SplunkUniversalForwarder.



#### Arcsight



    cd /opt/mhn/scripts/

    sudo ./install_hpfeeds-logger-arcsight.sh



This will log the events as CEF to /var/log/mhn-arcsight.log



## Data	

*NOTICE* **This section is out of date. Community data is not collected by Anomali although MHN still attempts to send this data to Anomali servers.**	



The MHN server reports anonymized attack data back to Anomali, Inc. (formerly	

known as ThreatStream). If you are interested in viewing this data, get details	

in the	

[wiki](https://github.com/Pwnlandia/mhn/wiki/Getting-Access-to-the-MHN-Community-Data).	

This data reporting can be disabled by running the following command from the	

MHN server after completing the initial installation steps outlined above:	

`/opt/mhn/scripts/disable_collector.sh`
