PhoneyC is a honeypot client that simulates vulnerable web browsers to detect and analyze malicious web content and exploits. The tool integrates with libemu to provide emulation capabilities for analyzing shellcode and malicious JavaScript. It operates by mimicking browser behavior to trigger malicious content on websites, allowing security researchers to capture and study attack vectors. PhoneyC requires libemu as a dependency, which must be obtained via Git and compiled according to the reference documentation. The build process supports custom Python versions through the PHONEYC_PYTHON environment variable. Installation can be performed without root privileges using standard make commands in the modules directory. However, certain Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, and Gentoo may require root privileges for specific build configurations. The tool serves as a client-side honeypot, enabling researchers to proactively discover malicious websites and analyze browser-based attacks in a controlled environment.
