HoneyGO - WORK IN PROGRESS

HoneyGO is a lightweight, low-interaction SSH honeypot written in Go. It simulates an SSH server to collect and analyze brute force attacks and unauthorized access attempts.

Key Features

• Simulates SSH login prompts and logs credentials
• Captures attack patterns and common brute-force sources
• Configurable server banner to mimic different SSH implementations
• Detailed logging of all connection attempts and authentication data
• Basic analysis of attack patterns
• Optionally forwards attackers to a real honeypot (e.g., Cowrie)

Security Considerations

• Run HoneyGO with the principle of least privilege
• Consider using a separate user account for the honeypot
• Do not run the honeypot on production systems
• Regularly review and analyze the collected data
