Version 2 is under development. Please switch to the v2 branch, build, and run with -h.
SSHHiPot
High-interaction SSH honeypot (ok, it's really a logging ssh proxy).
Still more or less a work-in-progress. Feel free to go install this
repository if you'd like to try it. Run it with -h to see more options. In
particular, logging is kinda rough.
One of these days there'll be better documentation, really.
The general idea is that sshlowpot runs somewhere between the attacker and the
real SSH server such that the attacker logs into the honeypot, and the honeypot
logs into the server.
Contact
At this stage in its development, it's probably easier to find me on Freenode
than anything, though reading the source is another option. It's not that
painful. I can usually be found as magisterquis in #devious on freenode.
Installation
go install github.com/magisterquis/sshhipot
If you don't have go available, feel free to ask me (or someone who does) for
compiled binaries. They can be made for a bunch of different platforms.
Config
Most of the options should be useable as-is. The ones I expect will need to
be configured:
Option, Use
-------, ----
-ck, SSH identity file (i.e. id_rsa) to use to authenticate to the server.
-cs, Server's address. Can be loopback, even.
-cu, Ok, maybe root wasn't a great default. test is probably better.
-p, Try 123456 or something more common than hunter2. Also see the -pf flag.
-sf, Fingerprint of real server's Host Key (retreivable with ssh-keyscan hostname 2>/dev/null, ssh-keygen -lf -)
Please note by default the server listens on port 2222. You'll have to use
pf or iptables or whatever other firewall to redirect the port. It's probably
a really bad idea to run it as root. Don't do that.
There is a general log which goes to stdout. More granular logs go in a
directory named conns by default (-d flag). At the moment, the granular
logs also go to stderr.
Contributions
Yes, please.
Windows
It's in Go, so, probably? Send me a pull request if it doesn't work.
