This repo contains data of various honeypots mostly gathered with awsome t-pot! . Want to know what malicious actors are up to? Do you believe data is the only source of truth? There you have it. Put on your sherlock hat and find the crime. This repo contains three months of data from 12/19 to 2/20.
- Security researchers
- Malware analysts
- Threat intelligence companies
- Universities
- Data scientists
- Anyone else interested
This research was a side project mainly motivated by understanding the current state of attacks in the wild.But as an individual, I have minimal resources and time so, I can't afford to scale and maintain, so I decide to take the servers down and share the data with the community. ♥
Here is the list of honeypots and analyzers used during this experiment.
- adbhoney
- cowrie
- dionaea
- elasticpot
- heralding
- medpot
- p0f
- suricata
- tanner
Each honeypot has a log folder. Most of the logs are JSON or SQLite. Some honeypots contain other data, such as sample files.
As mentioned, some honeypots also collect files, for example, adbhoney and cowrie. You can find file archives in the root directory of each honeypot.

You can use VirusTotal API for bulkscan.
Like T-pot you can use elastic stack and kiabana dashboard .
Kibana lets you visualize your Elasticsearch data and navigate the Elastic Stack so you can do anything from tracking query load to understanding the way requests flow through your apps.
It will do a fantastic job of making sense of these data, but at the same time, these data are too detail-oriented, so for the best results, you can have to role your-own analyzer.
For example, here is what I wrote to extract possible web application exploits from Suricata logs it uses pandas to read large JSON files then filter the data frame with an entry contain HTTP next. It will check if there is a file in url.

import pandas as pd
import json
def list_to_dict(lst):
it = iter(lst)
dic_result = dict(zip(it, it))
return dic_result
results = []
df = pd.read_json('/data/suricata/log/eve.json',lines=True)
filtered_df = df[df['http'].notnull()]
f = pd.DataFrame(filtered_df['http'])
for i in f.iterrows():
if "url" in i[1].to_dict()['http']:
if i[1].to_dict()['http']['url'] != "/":
results.append(i[1].to_dict()['http'])
sorted_results = [sorted(d.items()) for d in results]
unique_results = list(map(json.loads,set(map(json.dumps, sorted_results))))
with open("/suricata_http_paths.json" , "w") as suricata_out_http:
for item in unique_results:
concat_list = [j for i in item for j in i]
suricata_out_http.writelines( str( json.dumps(list_to_dict(concat_list) )))The output is a cleaned JSON file. Here is an example of an exciting line.
{"hostname": "http_content_type": "text/html", "http_method": "GET", "http_port": 80, "http_user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36", "length": 3348, "protocol": "HTTP/1.1", "status": 404, "url": "/index.php?s=/Index/\\think\\app/invokefunction&function=call_user_func_array&vars[0]=md5&vars[1][]=HelloThinkPHP"}
As we see, we successfully extracted an exploit for thinkphp.
There are too much data and endless possibility of extraction and analysis, but here are a few things that come into my mind when I want to draw a conclusion.
- The number of malicious packets transferred a day is unbeliveble.
- Fortunately, a big chunk of malicious actors are script kiddies, but somehow they still score in 2020
- Very first computer attacks like brute forces are still a thing in 2020 when it comes to protocols like VNC and SQL SERVER.
- Mixing security, machine learning, and data science can bring "real" next-generation defense results.
- Add a pull request and share your logstash.
- Share it with whomever you belive can use it
- Do the extra work and share your findings with community ♥
