HellPot is a honeypot designed to engage and deter non-compliant HTTP bots by providing an infinite stream of data that simulates a real website. It is built on the Heffalump framework and utilizes a Markov engine to generate content from Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy." The honeypot features a TOML configuration file for easy setup and customization, JSON logging for improved tracking and analysis, and is optimized for high performance to handle multiple connections.
To install HellPot, users can clone the repository from GitHub, navigate to the directory, and build it using Make. If no configuration file is present, a default one will be created in the user's home directory. Users can run the binary directly or configure it for more advanced setups. The configuration options include HTTP server settings, logging preferences, and performance tuning.
The repository also provides example configurations for integrating HellPot with Nginx and Apache as reverse proxies. Additionally, it mentions related projects, such as Pandora's Pot, which is inspired by HellPot and developed in Rust. For further details, users can visit the HellPot GitHub page.
