This project consists of two files: honeypot and server.py. The honeypot file starts a server using server.py on a random available port and exposes it to the internet using ngrok.
Before running the honeypot script, you'll need to install the ngrok tool. You can download it from the ngrok website.
- Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where the
honeypotfile is located. - Make the
honeypotscript executable by typing:
chmod +x honeypot- Run
./honeypot.
The server will be available on the URL provided by ngrok.
The honeypot script defines two functions: pick_port() and start_server(). pick_port() chooses a random available port using lsof, and start_server() starts the server by running server.py on the selected port.
The server.py file defines a start_server() function which binds to the localhost on the specified port and listens for incoming requests. When a request is received, the server sends a 200 OK response and closes the connection.
