telnet-iot-honeypot
A Python telnet honeypot that emulates a shell environment to catch IoT botnet binaries and analyze malware networks.
What is telnet-iot-honeypot?
Telnet IoT honeypot is a Python telnet server that acts as a honeypot to catch IoT malware binaries spreading through insecure default telnet passwords. It emulates a shell environment to interact with botnet connections and automatically analyzes them to map and link different botnet networks. The project helps researchers track and understand IoT malware campaigns by collecting and correlating connection data.
Security researchers, malware analysts, and network administrators interested in studying IoT botnets, capturing malware samples, and analyzing botnet infrastructure.
It provides an automated, client-server based honeypot specifically designed for IoT malware, with built-in analysis to link connections and identify malware families, offering insights into botnet behaviors without complex setup.
