Telnet IoT Honeypot

A Python-based telnet server that functions as a honeypot specifically designed to attract and capture IoT malware. The tool emulates a shell environment to deceive attackers and botnet operators into connecting and attempting to deploy malicious binaries. It operates using a client/server architecture that allows for distributed deployment and centralized monitoring. The honeypot automatically captures and analyzes botnet binaries that are downloaded or executed during attack attempts. This enables security researchers and organizations to study IoT malware behavior, attack patterns, and payload characteristics. The system logs connection attempts, commands executed by attackers, and any malicious files transferred during the session. This data collection helps in understanding current IoT threat landscapes and developing appropriate countermeasures.
