Hi tusksm! It's honeypot season! Really cool project, I've been working on a honeypot project of my own right now called `honeyprompt` (https://github.com/alectrocute/honeyprompt) that utilizes LLMs to craft responses and supports multiple protocols. Having a public sink presentation layer like honeypotlive.cc was one of my next todos.

Yeah I have an SSH daemon running on the default port at funky.nondeterministic.computer for people to hit, but it's mostly bots, which is no fun.

Is this the GTA 4 trailer?! /s

It’s too bad that ssh doesn’t carry sound. A MIDI-style rendition of the song would really tie it all together.

What do you mean my SSH Login username can't be <script>alert('lol');

Its always wild seeing the sheer volume of background noice on public IPs. Fun project.

Very cool! Adding a client geo would be nice (even if its not very accurate)

For the sake of interest you could try to expose periodically rotated keyed hashes of IPs and credentials instead of the raw values. It would still let people correlate events within a limited time window

You know what extra data would be cool? If you hit `curl https://ip.guide/{src_ip}` and got back the ASN and country etc and added a leaderboard. In my own experiments in this area I've been gobsmacked by how much malicious traffic comes from Azure.

I'm currently fighting this battle.

As of this morning:

  80% of malicious traffic comes from Azure.
  10% from Digital Ocean.
  5% from AWS.
  5% from GCP.

Closer to 95% if you count Teams.

Mine is very similar, but with DO and AWS swapped around.

Watching the first few minutes was more educational than I expected.
