Artillery is a combination of a honeypot, monitoring tool, and alerting system. Eventually this will evolve into a hardening monitoring platform as well to detect insecure configurations from nix systems. It's relatively simple, run ./setup.py and hit yes, this will install Artillery in /var/artillery and edit your /etc/init.d/rc.local to start artillery on boot up.
Features
-
It sets up multiple common ports that are attacked. If someone connects to these ports, it blacklists them forever (to remove blacklisted ip's, remove them from
/var/artillery/banlist.txt) -
It monitors what folders you specify, by default it checks
/var/wwwand/etcfor modifications. -
It monitors the SSH logs and looks for brute force attempts.
-
It will email you when attacks occur and let you know what the attack was.
Be sure to edit the /var/artillery/config to turn on mail delivery, brute force attempt customizations, and what folders to monitor.
