HellPot
HellPot is an endless honeypot designed to trap and exhaust malicious HTTP bots that ignore robots.txt files. The tool sends an infinite stream of data to connecting clients, using content generated by a Markov engine that processes text from "The Birth of Tragedy" by Friedrich Nietzsche. This approach creates responses that appear legitimate enough to keep bots engaged while consuming their resources. Key features include: - TOML-based configuration system - JSON logging capabilities - Built on fasthttp for performance optimization - Markov engine for content generation - Designed to trap bots that disregard robots.txt The honeypot operates by presenting what appears to be a real website to automated clients, causing them to remain connected while receiving an endless data stream. This technique aims to waste bot resources and potentially cause them to crash or disconnect. HellPot is built with Go and uses Go modules for dependency management. The project includes a GNU Makefile for simplified building and requires Go version 1.17 or higher for compilation.
