Honeyd-python
Honeyd-python is a low-interaction honeypot implementation based on the core principles of Honeyd honeypot. The honeypot allows a single host machine to claim unused IP addresses on LAN and simulate a virtual network of honeypots. The virtual honeypots can be configured to emulate the network stack of an operating system from Nmap's OS detection database. Honeyd-python can redirect attacks to remote honeypots via network tunneling. Honeyd-python provides basic attack data statistics on a web server accessible at localhost:8080
.
INSTALLATION
Honeyd-python supports integration into Modern Honey Network, the required files can be located in deploy/
. The honeypot supports Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and CentOS 7 distributions.
In case Modern Honey Network integration is not desired, then
- Install pip2.7:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py
/usr/local/bin/python2.7 ./ez_setup.py install
/usr/local/bin/easy_install-2.7 pip
- Install dependencies (CentOS 7):
wget http://repo.mysql.com/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm
yum -y update
yum -y install git mysql-server mysql-devel python-devel python-setuptools MySQL-python libpcap-devel tkinter tk-devel
- Install dependencies (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS):
apt-get -y install git farpd mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev python-mysqldb libpcap-dev python-tk
- Through pip2.7 install requirements from repository:
pip2.7 install -r requirements.txt
CONFIGURATION
Honeyd-python's logging and tunnel creation can be configured in honeyd/templates/honeyd.cfg
:
[hpfeeds]
; section defines the settings for HPfeeds logging
enabled = { True | False }
; enable or disable HPfeeds logging
host = <HPfeeds-server>
; access location of the HPfeeds broker
port = <integer>
; access port that the HPfeeds broker listens on
timeout = <integer>
; connection socket timeout in seconds
ident = <identification>
; authentication id
secret = <secret>
; authentication secret
channels = [list-of-channels, ]
; list of logging channels
[mysql]
; section defines the settings for MySQL logging
enabled = { True | False }
; enable or disable MySQL logging
host = <mysql-server>
; access location of the MySQL server
port = <integer>
; access port that the MySQL server listens on
db = <database-name>
; name of the database provided for logging
username = <db-login-name>
; username for login to the particular database
passphrase = <db-login-passwd>
; passphrase for login to the particular database
logsocket = { tcp | dev }
; type of the connection socket
logdevice = <path-to-socket>
; path to device socket
[tunnel]
; section defines the tunnel creation for proxy functionality
use_public = { True | False }
; enable or disable the use of public IP address for tunnel interface creation
interface = <interface>
; name of the interface facing the intermediate network
urls = [list-of-urls, ]
; list of URLs used for obtaining public IP address
start_id = <integer>
; starting number for tunnel interface identification
subnet = <CIDR-subnet>
; IP range is used to define the local IPs for the tunnel interfaces
The simulated virtual network can be configured in honeyd/templates/network.xml
:
<network_configuration>
<!--defines the start and end of the configuration file, required element-->
<device_information>
<!--defines the behavior of devices and their assigned IPs, required element, can be empty-->
<device>

<name> STRING </name>
<!--defines the name of the device for easier identification, required element-->
<personality> STRING </personality>
<!--defines the name of the Nmap OS fingerprint the device runs on, required element, STRING has to be an exact match-->
<action tcp="ACTION" udp="ACTION" icmp="ACTION"/>
<!--defines the default bahavior of ports for that device, required element, ACTION can be [open, closed, filtered, block, proxy <ip>:{gre|ipip}]-->
<service_list>
<!--defines more granular configuration of individual ports, optional element-->
<service protocol="PROTO" port="INTEGER" execute="ACTION"/>
<!--PROTO can be [tcp, udp, icmp], ACTION can be [open, closed, filtered, bloxk, proxy <ip>:{gre|ipip}, SCRIPT], SCRIPT can be any command or script that can be invoked from shell-->
</service_list>
<bind_list>
<!--defines the list of IPs the device occupies-->
<bind ip="IP-STRING"/>
<!--IP-STRING has to be in format of a valid IPv4 address-->
</bind_list>

<routing_information>
<!--defines the connections between the routers in the network, required element, can be empty-->
<router ip="IP-STRING" subnet="SUBNET-STRING" entry="BOOLEAN"/>
<!--defines the start and end of a router definition, 'ip' defines the address of the router, 'subnet' defines the address range the router can possibly reach, 'entry' defines the role of the router-->
<!--IP-STRING has to be in a format of a valid IPv4 address, SUBNET-STRING has to be in a format of a valid CIDR subnet notation-->
<connect>IP-STRING</connect>
<!--defines direct connection between individual routers-->
<link>IP-SUBNET</link>
<!--defines a subnet where the router has direct links-->
</router>
</routing_information>

USAGE
Honeyd-python supports the following flags:
- -v, --verbose : Enables logging of debug messages
- -l, --logfile : Set logfile name
- -n, --network : Set network configuration file name
- -c, --config : Set honeypot configuration file name
- -i, --interface : Set interface name for listening
- -a, --address : Claim addresses matching the IP range
- -o, --os-fingerprint : Set nmap-os-db file location
- -m, --mac-prefix : Set nmap-mac-prefixes file location
Example usage of Honeyd-python for the given sample configuration:
- with active traffic interception:
# sudo python2.7 honeyd.py -i enp0s3 -a 10.66.0.0/16
- without active interception traffic has to be routed to the honeypot (currently required for CentOS 7):
# sudo python2.7 honeyd.py -i enp0s3
