Honeygrove is a modular honeypot based on Python that builds upon Broker and the Twisted Framework.

System Requirements

Honeygrove currently requires Python 3.5+ and was tested on Ubuntu 16.4, Debian 9.1 and ArchLinux. However it should work on other distributions that provide a compatible Python distribution. If Broker is not available, the honeypot itself can be used without it. Currently there is no possibility to communicate with the management-console or the monitoring stack without Broker.

Quickstart Guide

• Clone the repository or download and unzip it
• Optional: Setup a virtualenv to contain the required dependencies

  $ python3 -m venv .venv
  $ source .venv/bin/activate

• Install the required python dependencies

  $ pip3 install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

• Optional: Install broker and the python bindings to communicate with a CIM
• Create the honeygrove main directory and some required subdirectories

  $ mkdir -p /var/honeygrove/{logs,resources/{quarantine,honeytoken_files}}

• Copy the provided example resources to the main directory

  $ cp -a resources /var/honeygrove

• Edit the configuration file to fit your needs

  $ $EDITOR honeygrove/config.py

• Start honeygrove and verify everything works as expected

  $ sudo python3 -m honeygrove

Honeygrove is intended to be used with a Cyber Incident Monitor (CIM) (honeygrove-cim) and can additionally be controlled through a management console (honeygrove-console) that communicates with honeygrove via broker.
