Welcome to my Honeypot project portfolio. This repository demonstrates the design, deployment, and analysis of a cybersecurity honeypot used to detect, log, and study malicious activities in a controlled environment.
A honeypot is a decoy system or service set up to attract cyber attackers. This project simulates vulnerable systems in order to:
- 🛡 Detect and analyze intrusion attempts
- 🧠 Study attacker behavior and tactics
- 🔎 Enhance threat intelligence
- 🧰 Improve defensive strategies
This portfolio includes configuration files, deployment scripts, and analysis reports based on real-world attack data.

git clone https://github.com/D0up4/Honeypot cd honeypot-portfolio Set up the environment Follow the setup guide:
Run the honeypot Depending on the tool (e.g., Docker + Cowrie)
In Command Prompt:
python ssh_honeypot.py And you should see: [+] SSH Honeypot listening on port 22
On attacker side, In Command Prompt: telnet 0.0.0.0 (replace with actual host ip) 22 (or any other port its hosted on)
