HASH is a framework for creating and launching low interactive honeypots.

The main philosophy of HASH is to be easy to configure and flexible to mimic any software running on HTTP/HTTPs. With the minimum footprint possible to avoid being detected as honeypot.

• Single framework to deploy HTTP/HTTPs based honeypots
• Easily configurable via YAML files
• Built-in honeytraps
• Powerful randomization based on fakerjs to avoid honeypot detection
• Optionally, integration with Datadog to ingest and analyze honeypots logs and HTTP requests through APM

HASH is built using Node.js but it can mimic any web-based language / server based on the configuration. Read the full docs below.

npm install -g hash-honeypot

docker run --rm ghcr.io/datadog/hash help

HASH uses YAML files to configure how it simulate the desired software, The typical structure for the profile folder is the following

|____templates
|     |____resources
|     |     |____index.html
|     |     |____style.css
|     |     |____favicon.ico
|     |____404.yaml
|     |____default.yaml
|____init.yaml

You can build it yourself or you can generate it using generate command

Usage: HASH generate [options] <folder>

Generate honeypot profile

Arguments:
  folder                         path/to the app

Options:
  -t --template <template_name>  base template (default: "default")
  -n --name <honeypot_name>      Honeypot name
  -s --swagger <swagger_file>    Path to swagger file to convert
  -h, --help                     display help for command

Example

hash-honeypot generate myhoneypot --name my-honey-pot --template default

You can also convert swagger files to honeypot directly from the generate command

Example converting swagger file(s) to honeypot

hash-honeypot generate sample-swagger2 -n sample -s ./test-swagger/test-swagger.yaml

Usage: HASH run [options] <folder>

Run HASH

Arguments:
  folder                     path/to the template folder

Options:
  -l, --log <transport>      logging transport (default: "console,file,datadog")
  -f, --log_file <filename>  logging filename (default: "hash.log")
  -h, --help                 display help for command

example

hash-honeypot my-honeypot-profile -l file -f ./logs/hash.log

If you are using Datadog for logs make sure you export the datadog api key export DD_API_KEY=<your-api-key>

You can customize the your honeypot profile as you want

Example request template:

id: sqli-error
info:
    title: 'SQL error honeytrap'
requests:
    - isTrap: false
      expect:
          method: GET
          path: '/author/:Id([0-9]+)'
      reply:
          status: 200
          headers:
              content-type: 'text/html'
          body:
              view: 'author.html'
    - isTrap: true
      expect:
          method: GET
          path: '/author/:Id'
      reply:
          status: 500
          headers:
              content-type: 'text/html'
          body:
              contents: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 2"
