A Honeypot for Intel's AMT Firmware Vulnerability CVE-2017-5689
This document explains a honeypot that has been specifically created to address the Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) firmware vulnerability known as CVE-2017-5689. The honeypot acts as a decoy system, designed to attract and analyze potential attacks aimed at exploiting this vulnerability. This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of the threat and aids in developing effective mitigation strategies.
It mimics the functionality of Intel's AMT management service
It replicates the functionality of Intel's AMT management service and provides content obtained from an HP machine to an attacker if the exploitation is successful.
Building and Running the Application
To build the application, use the command `go build`. After building, you can run it with the command `./amthoneypot [logfile.txt]`.
It also supports persistent execution with nohup command
It also supports persistent execution by using the command `nohup ./amthoneypot logfile.txt &`. However, it does not offer templating features to generate dynamic or random content, and it lacks error checking mechanisms.
This tool is effective for identifying and preventing specific attacks
This tool is effective for identifying and preventing attacks that target the vulnerability found in Intel's AMT firmware, specifically CVE-2017-5689.
