BW-Pot (Breakable Web applications honeyPot) is an interactive honeypot system designed to monitor and analyze HTTP/HTTPS attacks by deploying vulnerable web applications as bait. The system creates easily compromised web application environments that attract attackers, allowing security researchers to observe attack patterns and techniques. It includes multiple vulnerable web applications such as WordPress and phpMyAdmin to simulate realistic attack targets. Key features include automatic daily restoration to clean environments, ensuring consistent honeypot states for ongoing monitoring. The system captures comprehensive logs and forwards them to Google BigQuery for centralized storage and analysis. Real-time log integration enables immediate visibility into attack activities. Network traffic analysis capabilities include automatic packet capture file generation, which can be downloaded and analyzed using tools like Wireshark. The system implements automatic log rotation to manage storage efficiently. BW-Pot operates effectively on low-specification servers, requiring only 2GB RAM and 10GB SSD storage. It uses Docker and Docker-Compose for containerized deployment, making installation and management straightforward. The architecture supports integration with Google Cloud Platform for log storage and visualization through BigQuery's web interface. Users can create custom dashboards and execute SQL queries to analyze collected attack data. The system is designed for security researchers, threat hunters, and organizations seeking to understand attack methodologies targeting web applications.
