What is Python-Honeypot?
OWASP Honeypot is an open-source Python framework for creating honeypots and honeynets, which are deceptive systems designed to attract and monitor cyber attacks. It automates the deployment of services like FTP, HTTP, and SSH with weak credentials to lure attackers, allowing security teams to study their tactics and improve defenses.
Security researchers, penetration testers, and IT administrators who need to detect and analyze network intrusions in a safe, controlled environment.
Developers choose OWASP Honeypot for its modular, Docker-based architecture that simplifies setup and isolation, along with integrated logging and visualization tools for real-time attack monitoring without risking production data.
