A protocol-agnostic, low-interaction honeypot that intercepts and logs network traffic to analyze malicious activities.
Glutton is a low-interaction honeypot that intercepts network traffic across multiple protocols to log and analyze malicious activities. It uses iptables and TPROXY to redirect traffic to protocol handlers, helping security teams detect attacks and study threat behavior. The tool is designed to be lightweight and extensible for various network security scenarios.
Security researchers, network administrators, and cybersecurity professionals who need to monitor and analyze malicious network traffic in controlled environments.
Developers choose Glutton for its protocol-agnostic design, allowing it to intercept and log traffic across any protocol without being tied to specific services. Its use of iptables and TPROXY provides efficient traffic redirection, making it a flexible and low-resource solution for honeypot deployments.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses iptables and TPROXY to redirect all network traffic, allowing it to handle any protocol without being tied to specific services, as highlighted in the README.
Low-interaction design minimizes CPU and memory usage, making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments or for running multiple instances.
Supports custom protocol handlers, enabling users to add new services and adapt to emerging threats, which is emphasized in the documentation for extension.
Captures and logs all network interactions for detailed analysis of attack patterns, aiding security researchers in studying malicious activities.
Requires root access and advanced knowledge of iptables and TPROXY configuration, which can be a barrier for users without network administration experience.
As a low-interaction honeypot, it only simulates basic responses, potentially missing sophisticated attacks that require full service interaction for deep analysis.
Out-of-the-box handlers are basic, and extensive customization is needed for advanced simulations, which may increase development overhead compared to more turnkey solutions.
