Sometimes you just want a simple honeypot that collects credentials, nothing more. Heralding is that honeypot! Currently the following protocols are supported: ftp, telnet, ssh, http, https, pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps, smtp, vnc, postgresql and socks5.
You need Python 3.7.0 or higher.

log_session.json
This log file contains all available information for a given activity to the honeypot. This included timestamp, authentication attempts and protocol specific information (auxiliary data) - and a bunch of other information. Be aware that the log entry for a specific session will appear in the log file after the session has ended. The format is jsonlines.

This log file contains entries for all connections to the honeypot. The data includes timestamp, duration, IP information and the number of authentication attempts. Be aware that the log entry for a specific session will appear in the log file after the session has ended.

This log file contains information for all authentication attempts where it was possible to log a username and plaintext password. Log entries will appear in this file as soon as the password has been transmitted.

Otherwise, the basic installation instructions are below.
To install the latest stable (well, semi-stable) version, use pip:
pip install heraldingMake sure that requirements and pip is installed. Simple way to do this on a Debian-based OS is:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev sudo pip install -r requirements.txtAnd finally start the honeypot:
mkdir tmp cd tmp sudo heralding1.Checkout the code:
cd ~ git clone https://github.com/johnnykv/heralding.git cd heralding2.Build new Docker image and run it (Http localhost expose example of port 80 to localhost:8080):
sudo docker build -t heralding . sudo docker run -p 8080:80 heraldingVisit your application in a browser at http://localhost:8080
3.Check the log files:
sudo docker psWe need to copy the CONTAINER ID of our heralding image. Looking like 0beb67f1e92c.
sudo docker exec -it 0beb67f1e92c bashAnd now you are in the work directory, you can read the log files by typing cat and the name of the file. Example:
cat log_auth.csvWant a seperate pcap for each heralding session? Sure, take a look at the Curisoum project. Make sure to enable Curisoum in Heralding.yml!
The project uses Chromium code style, please make sure to follow this before submitting. You can use tools like yapf to autoformat - the config file can be found at the root of the repo (.style.yapf).
