cowrie is an extended fork of the medium interaction honeypot kippo.
This repository contains the necessary files to create a dockerized version of cowrie.
The Dockerfile contains the blueprint for the dockerized cowrie and will be used to setup the docker image.
The cowrie.cfg is tailored to fit the Onion Decoy environment.
The setup.sql is also tailored to fit the Onion Decoy environment.
The supervisord.conf is used to start cowrie under supervision of supervisord.
Using systemd, copy the systemd/cowrie.service to /etc/systemd/system/cowrie.service and start using
systemctl enable cowrie
systemctl start cowrie
This will make sure that the docker container is started with the appropriate permissions and port mappings. Further, it autostarts during boot.
By default all data will be stored in /data/cowrie/ until the honeypot service will be restarted which is by default every 24 hours. If you want to keep data persistently simply edit the service file, find the line that contains clean.sh and set the option from off to on. Be advised to establish some sort of log management if you wish to do so.
