Hi,

Im a complete Linux noob and as part of a uni project need to setup HonSSH, I believe I've installed everything correctly and when starting to start honssh I keep getting the subject error.

Been following this guide (but on host rather than virtual env):
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/analyse-your-attackers-vectors-ssh-honey-pot-robert-putt

There is a honssh.cfg file so not really sure what to do. Is this the file its referring to or is there another file in a different location?

Hi @stuartt44

This appears to be a PYTHONPATH issue to me. Try typing pwd whilst in the top level of your HonSSH git clone and then exporting the environment variable with your pwd, then try re-running HonSSH.

e.g.

Roberts-MacBook-Pro:honssh robe8437$ pwd
/Users/robe8437/Documents/Python/projects/honssh
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:honssh robe8437$ export PYTHONPATH=/Users/robe8437/Documents/Python/projects/honssh
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:honssh robe8437$

BTW that article is almost 2 years old now, you might be better off checking out the docs in the wiki in here instead... https://github.com/tnich/honssh/wiki/Deployment-Guide

Best Regards,

Rob

Thanks for answering, I've done that - pythonpath="/root/honssh" and still get the same error. Any other ideas?

I've looked at those pages and they're not really helpful for newbies like myself that have very limited Linux knowledge, I can essentially install stuff and navigate the files, but would have no idea how to install and actually start HonSSH.

Hi @stuartt44

Is your host listening publicly on the internet? I'd be more than happy to SSH in and take a poke at this for you as I am guessing time is of the essence due to it being a university project.

Best Regards,

Rob

Hi @stuartt44

And I have the same problem about the PYTHONPATH.
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/folder/to/honssh" and export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/honssh are not work for me, too. (idk why...)

Anyway, python scripts are easy to debug.

Try to fix bugs

In honssh.tac, add sys.path.append('/path/to/honssh') before loading honssh.config module.

And then, No module named GeoIP occurred in output_handler.py.
pip install GeoIP

key problem, cant find the signature? I forgot the error message.
pip install -U pyopenssl

Hope you can fix the problem and sorry for my poor English.

Modifying honssh.tac works for me.
Thanks!!!
