honeydet is a signature-based honeypot detection tool written in Golang that identifies honeypots through multi-step, high-interaction analysis. The tool operates on the principle that honeypots generate unique and identifying responses when presented with specifically crafted requests. It supports multiple deployment modes including web server, command line interface, and web API. Key technical capabilities include: - Multi-threaded scanning architecture for performance optimization - Signature-based detection supporting TCP and UDP protocols - Multi-step detection workflows with hex, string, and regex pattern matching - SQL backend for persistent scan storage and management - Web interface for scan management and result visualization - Shodan API integration for enriching scan data with host information The signature database continues to expand through fuzzing methodologies, reverse engineering techniques, and comparative analysis between legitimate services and their honeypot counterparts. The signature format supports extensibility for additional protocols including specialized industrial protocols like DICOM and Modbus. Performance characteristics include rapid scanning capabilities, with /24 network single port scans completing in approximately one second. The tool supports both single target and multiple target scanning operations.
