What is SSH Honeypot

Building Honeypots for Industrial Networks using Honeyd and simulating SCADA, DCS, and PLC architectures.

This Program Listens for Incoming SSH Connections

This program, which has a rather unfortunate name, listens for incoming SSH connections. It logs the IP address, username, and password that the client uses.

Understanding a Low-Interaction Honeypot

A low-interaction honeypot is a system that does not permit malware or attackers to log in. It was initially designed to collect basic intelligence on brute force attacks and is not intended for use in production environments.

Common Usage in Attack/Defend CTFs

This tool is frequently utilized in attack/defend Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, in conjunction with sshunt: https://github.com/droberson/sshunt. To set it up, ensure that the necessary headers and development packages are installed for the following libraries: libssh, openssl, libjson-c, and libpcap.

For Linux, execute the following commands

To install the necessary packages, run: apt install libssh-dev libjson-c-dev libpcap-dev libssl-dev To build and run the application, use: make ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ./ssh-honeypot.rsa bin/ssh-honeypot -r ./ssh-honeypot.rsa

For OSX (experimental/unsupported), ensure Xcode is updated

For OSX (experimental/unsupported), make sure that Xcode is up to date. Additionally, install libssh and json-c using Homebrew. To specify the Makefile for OSX, use the following command: make -f MakefileOSX.
