Pasithea

A low-interaction honeypot that logs IP addresses, usernames, and passwords used by clients connecting via SSH, primarily used for gathering intelligence on brute force attacks.

Pasithea includes a built-in install script to facilitate easy installations on Ubuntu machines. 1. To run the install script, use the following commands: $ cd PasitheaHoneypot/src $ sudo ./install.sh

The script will now execute the apt-get application manager to install the necessary dependencies. You will eventually be asked to enter the port number on which you want Pasithea to operate. Please provide the port number you wish to use for configuring the APIhp. If you prefer to use the default port, just press Enter to select 8080 .

The install script will automatically compile the Java code for you and generate a separate script that will run the server. 3. Run the server! First, you need to make the new script executable by using the following command: $ sudo chmod +x runAPIrest.sh

/runAPIrest.sh Once Pasithea has been successfully deployed, any interactions with the API Honeypot will be recorded in a log file named API.log, which is located in the src folder. The log entries will be delimited by the '~' character. If you want to run Pasithea in the background, consider using screen! To ensure Pasithea starts automatically on boot, add the path to your runAPIrest.sh file in your /etc/rc.local file. † NOTE: This installation script will attempt to install the necessary dependencies for Pasithea as we proceed.
