An open-source honeypot framework for NoSQL databases that simulates servers to detect and log attacks.
NoSQL-Honeypot-Framework (NoPo) is an open-source security framework that creates honeypots for NoSQL databases to detect and log attack attempts. It simulates database servers like Redis to deceive attackers and capture their activities. The tool helps security researchers analyze threats targeting NoSQL infrastructure.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and system administrators who need to monitor and analyze attacks on NoSQL database deployments.
It provides the first dedicated honeypot solution for NoSQL databases, offering protocol simulation and logging capabilities that help organizations understand emerging threats in non-relational database environments.

As the first framework designed specifically for NoSQL databases, it fills a niche in security research by targeting emerging threats in non-relational databases, as highlighted in the README.
Simulates server behavior according to protocol specifications, making the honeypot appear authentic to attackers and improving deception effectiveness, as noted in the key features.
Allows deployment with custom configuration files, enabling users to tailor the honeypot setup to their specific needs, as demonstrated in the usage examples with the '-config' option.
Logs commands and sessions to files, providing detailed data for analyzing attack patterns and understanding attacker behavior, which is a core feature for security monitoring.
Currently only supports Redis, as stated in the README, which restricts its usefulness for monitoring attacks on other popular NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Cassandra.
Requires Python 2.6.x or 2.7.x, which are deprecated and no longer receive security updates, posing compatibility and security risks in modern environments.
The framework is under development and prone to bugs, as explicitly noted in the README, making it unreliable for critical or production deployments.
