How to deploy an SSH honeypot to AWS Lightsail VPS 6 min read In this blog post we'll deploy the honeypot we made in the previous post ( How to build an SSH honeypot in Python and Docker - Part 2) to Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lightsail VPS. SSH honeypots exist in different categories, high, medium and low interaction. Think of it as a tool for cyber counter-espionage.

I've read through the RFC for SSH to get an understanding of how SSH session are initiated. The bit I'm stuck on is creating the initial SSH connection. The idea is: client connects to honeypot via SSH, honeypot then understands and responds to pre-defined commands (e.g. I generated a new fs.pickle but did not get any different resultĪttached are the errors logged in kippo.log I'm aiming for a low interaction honeypot (similar to Kippo). Running Kippo in Raspberry PI, I succeed to get logs and the graphs produced, but the attacker does not get any ssh prompt, producing the following error:
