Argos is a honeypot system that sets up cowrie on a system.
It is highly recommended to create an email account with smtp access specifically for this reporter.
curl https://gitlab.com/Cyb3r-Jak3/Argos/-/raw/master/setup.sh -o setup.sh
curl https://gitlab.com/Cyb3r-Jak3/Argos/-/raw/master/report.dist.ini -o report.dist.ini # Leave the dist
# Edit report.dist.ini with smtp creds
chmod +x ./setup
./setupAfter the setup script has completed then you will have an output.txt file which will list the new SSH port and the password for cowrie user.
Make sure that you are able to connect with SSH before you continue.
And cowrie is running you can attempt to login to your server using ssh root@<server>.
If desired there is the ability to customize the cowrie configuration to your liking where you want in cowrie.cfg. There are some options that should not be changed and they are:
- sqlite3 logging module
- listen_endpoints.
If you want to make changes then after pulling the setup script run with the argument --setup and it will pull all the files needed for setup without setting anything up.
