Heralding-Credentials catching honeypot.

About

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 and postgresql.
You need Python 3.5.0 or higher.

Viewing the collected data

Heralding logs relevant data in two files, log_session.csv and log_auth.csv.
log_session.csv
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 fil after the session has ended.

log_auth.csv
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.

Installing Heralding

For step by step instructions on how to install and run heralding in a Python virtual environment using Ubuntu, see this guide. Otherwise, the basic installation instructions are below.
To install the latest stable (well, semi-stable) version, use pip:

pip install heralding

Make 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.txtri

And finally start the honeypot:

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
sudo heralding
