    HoneyDrop is a honeypot appliance designed to detect and alert the presence of threat actors in an AWS VPC.

    Overview

    Open image

    HoneyDrop is a powerful appliance designed to enhance your network's security by setting up decoy services that attract and distract attackers. When deployed within your internal network, it tricks cybercriminals into targeting these fake services instead of your real assets, giving you a crucial edge in detecting and understanding potential threats.

    HoneyDrop logs every interaction with its decoys to AWS CloudWatch, delivering real-time visibility into suspicious activity. Alerts can be sent via Discord, Microsoft Teams, or Slack, enabling rapid response to threats. You can also configure CloudWatch alarms to trigger Lambda functions for automated incident handling.

    Highlights

    • Lure attackers away from high value systems long enough to be identified
    • Instant notifications of honeypot interactions via Slack, Discord and Microsoft Teams
    • Enable automated incident response actions to isolate and quarantine compromised hosts

    Quick and Simple HoneyDrop Configuration and Deployment

    This AWS CloudFormation template deploys HoneyDrop, a configurable honeypot appliance designed to attract and monitor unauthorized access attempts across multiple network protocols. It provisions an EC2 instance with integrated AWS Secrets Manager for managing alerting (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams) and service configuration, and uses IAM roles to securely grant access to required resources.

    Key features:

    • Deploys in your VPC and subnet of choice
    • Supports over a dozen honeypot services including SSH, FTP, HTTP, MySQL, Redis, RDP, Telnet, and more
    • Centralized configuration via CloudFormation parameters and Secrets Manager
    • Auto-updating appliance with structured alerting
    • Includes security group configuration for all enabled protocols
    • Management access via port 2222 with configurable CIDR restrictions

    Ideal for security research, deception environments, or threat intelligence collection in cloud-based networks.

    CloudFormation Template (CFT)

    AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

    Version release notes

    Production-Ready Honeypot Appliance Release

    Streamlined Deployment: All configuration is now handled during the initial CloudFormation deployment, no post-deployment setup required.

    Centralized Alert Management: Alert settings for Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord, as well as service enablement/disablement, are now managed through AWS Secrets Manager.

    Improved Alerting: Alerts are now consistently formatted for better readability.

    Auto-Updating Enabled: The appliance now supports automatic updates to ensure you're always running the latest version.
