Honeybits

A simple PoC tool designed to enhance the effectiveness of your traps by spreading breadcrumbs & honeytokens across your production servers and workstations to lure the attacker toward your honeypots.

Author: Adel "0x4D31" Karimi.

The Windows version of this project: honeybits-win

Background

Although honeypots are used by security researchers to study the attackers’ tools, techniques and motives for many years, they still have not been widely accepted and deployed in production environments. One reason is that the traditional implementation of honeypots is static and success is based on an attacker discovering it (which usually requires network scanning)!

Taking a look at the Mitre ATT&CK Matrix, you will see that 'Network Service Scanning' is only one of the many different Post-compromise activities. The more you plant false or misleading information in response to the post-compromise techniques (specially the techniques under ‘credential access’, ‘Discovery’, and ‘Lateral movement’ tactics in ATT&CK matrix), the greater the chance of catching the attackers. Honeybits helps you automate the creation of breadcrumbs/honeytokens on your production Servers and Workstations. These honeytokens or breadcrumbs include:
