Log4Pot is a specialized honeypot designed to detect and capture exploitation attempts targeting the Log4Shell vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228). The tool operates by listening on various network ports for incoming Log4Shell exploitation attempts. It analyzes both request lines and headers to identify potential exploitation patterns associated with the vulnerability. When exploitation attempts are detected, Log4Pot captures the attack data and can recursively download exploit payloads for further analysis. This capability allows security teams to understand the nature and scope of attacks targeting their infrastructure. The honeypot supports flexible logging configurations, offering output to both local files and Azure blob storage for centralized log management. This dual logging approach enables integration with existing security monitoring infrastructure. Installation requires Poetry for dependency management, though the tool can run with basic functionality without external dependencies. Configuration is handled through a log4pot.conf file where users can customize various operational parameters. For deployment scenarios, Log4Pot can be integrated with iptables rules to redirect specific network traffic to the honeypot, enabling broader network coverage for Log4Shell detection efforts.
