A basic SSH honeypot built with Python and containerised in Docker. Part of my blog post: How to build an SSH honeypot in Python and Docker - Part 1.
Uses the Paramiko Python SSH protocol library.
Setup port forwarding (e.g. from 22 to 2222)
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 22 -j REDIRECT --to-port 2222
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f server.key
docker build -t basic_honeypot .
docker run -v ${PWD}:/usr/src/app -p 2222:2222 basic_honeypot
Logs are recorded in the auto-generated ssh_honeypot.log file
