AMT Honeypot
A Go-based honeypot that mimics Intel's AMT management service to detect and log exploitation attempts targeting the CVE-2017-5689 firmware vulnerability.
AMT Honeypot Description
AMT Honeypot is a specialized honeypot designed to detect exploitation attempts targeting Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) firmware vulnerability CVE-2017-5689. The tool replicates the behavior of Intel's AMT management service by serving content pulled from a HP machine to attackers who successfully exploit the vulnerability. This allows security teams to monitor and analyze attack patterns against this specific Intel firmware flaw. Built using Go programming language, the honeypot can be compiled with the `go build` command and executed using `./amthoneypot [logfile.txt]`. It supports persistent execution through the `nohup ./amthoneypot logfile.txt &` command for continuous monitoring. The tool logs exploitation attempts to specified log files, enabling security professionals to track when attackers attempt to leverage the CVE-2017-5689 vulnerability. However, it currently lacks templating capabilities for dynamic or randomized content generation and has limited error checking functionality. AMT Honeypot serves as a detection mechanism for organizations looking to identify potential threats targeting Intel AMT infrastructure and gather intelligence on attack methodologies related to this specific vulnerability.
