HASH : Harnessing HTTP Agnostic Software Honeypots For Enhanced Cybersecurity

The main philosophy of HASH is to be easy to configure and flexible to mimic any software running on HTTP/HTTPs. With the minimum footprint possible to avoid being detected as honeypot.

Features

  • Single framework to deploy HTTP/HTTPs based honeypots
  • Easily configurable via YAML files
  • Built-in honeytraps
  • Powerful randomization based on fakerjs to avoid honeypot detection
  • Optionally, integration with Datadog to ingest and analyze honeypots logs and HTTP requests through APM

Getting Started

HASH is built using Node.js but it can mimic any web-based language / server based on the configuration. Read the full docs below.

Installation

You can Install it via NPM

npm install -g hash-honeypot

Or you can use it directly from docker

docker run --rm ghcr.io/datadog/hash help

Usage

Generate Honeypot Profile

HASH uses YAML files to configure how it simulate the desired software, The typical structure for the profile folder is the following

|____templates
|     |____resources
|     |     |____index.html
|     |     |____style.css
|     |     |____favicon.ico
|     |____404.yaml
|     |____default.yaml
|____init.yaml
