Honeypot Project

This repository contains a Python-based medium-interaction honeypot designed to log connection attempts and basic attacker behavior, as well as a stimulation script to test the honeypot's functionality. The honeypot aims to serve as a security tool to detect and analyze unauthorized access attempts. Additionally, enhancements are planned to improve log analysis by introducing temporal and behavioral pattern identification.

Features

• Medium Interaction Honeypot:

  • Captures connection attempts and logs attacker behavior.
  • Mimics limited interaction with attackers to gather data.

• Logging:

  • Tracks IP addresses, timestamps, and actions performed by the attacker.
  • Generates logs for further analysis.

• Testing Stimulation:

  • honeypot_sim.py script to simulate attack scenarios and validate honeypot functionality.

• Planned Enhancements:

  • Temporal pattern analysis: Identifying attack trends over time.
  • Behavioral pattern analysis: Detecting recurring attacker behaviors and anomalies.
