 So on my last pf sense videos, I'd noticed just you know, I've known it's going on for a while But I was really looking at again I should say is just how many people are banging away at port 22 now that's obviously the SSH port and I have it Closed off because all my servers run behind a VPN, but while browsing reddit. I did run across this project here. I Guess you want to pronounce it SSH? Esami The idea is a it's an SSH honeypot a fake SSH server that runs I Do you like that? He does this claimer might contain bugs That's one of the reasons it's running in a private environment virtualized and on a separate network for this But it's pretty easy to install the only things you need is a bunch of or any Linux distribution that you can install go on I'm running a bunch of 1604 is just what I happen to have so we're gonna run a apt get whoops sudo So to install that we go sudo apt get install Go-ling I got to spell that right say yes, it's gonna go ahead and saw the go-ling real quick Because this is particular tools written in go Now I'm gonna make dear any right in my home folder here just to make a go folder So I have something right of all and then I have to run export Because you have to export your go path and set the path in here I should add it to the profile but for demo purposes we're just gonna do this I don't feel like going through the whole setup of go for now So now if you want to get it we can just use this here, so we're gonna go get github Then we have to install get another dependency because we're pulling things off github With the get tool then we want to go get the SSHS me It's gonna download it into the go folder that we set up previously. So CD go CD been so it should be in here And here's the tool Now we're gonna run a dash H So you can see there's a couple things you can change the logging type. It's pretty basic right now I'm hoping it keeps developing it to make a little better But one thing we do have to do is change the listen string because by default when you start it and I'll show you When you're running it it wants to bind to that address the local host address not the IP address So we're look at the IP of this computer Three dot one four two, so do a dash help and see we got a change the listen address string Now you can also do things like Set your own SSH key bindings and things like that so you can choose your own Fingerprint on here. It even says that using a temporary host key created Permanent one and passing over to host key. You can do that in a few other things But let's just show you how it actually works now. I'm gonna drag another System over here So I'm on my computer And we're going to SSH in to root at 1 9 2 and 6 8 3 4 2 Say yes So you can see It's logging everything. I do down here. So it recognizes my local IP puts it over here And copies it in so I know what IP address it came from I can know what commands are being typed It's logging them all and I'm gonna move this off screen So you can just watch how the logging goes get this out of the way, too So right here password authentication except it accepts any password. I just put Thomas. My name is the password user is root I can it displays which version of SSH There's no payload or anything. So here's the channel request. It says the terminal colors language environment shell and what command I'm typing so Type in top if I try to go in Etsy, it's logging all the different channel inputs received now What I'm getting on my end is really nothing. I'm typing commands But nothing's really happening So but anything I type here is being logged. Now, this is just kind of fun because you can go through and start watching This is kind of neat because it's logging into terminal changes But you can start watching what commands are being used by attackers connecting to the port Go ahead and close it and now it tells me the session was terminated But it's just kind of fun It's a way to get you started with honey potting and so you can go You know, I want to understand how things are connecting and that's what this does It sets up listening on there and you're listening to what the requests are so you can start seeing what people are trying to do And this is actually how they discovered the dirty cow was by looking for Things coming on there. They set up honey pots They listen for them and the attackers attack those ports and bring in the data and this is how you sort that out So I just want to run over that real quick. I thought it was kind of novel It's a neat little tool that I hope he keeps developing There's a handful of other ones out there But this one just seemed really simple and some of them have a lot of settings to get through to get him figured This one really simple compiled and go and I'm hoping a project that he takes it further check them out on github Thanks, I'll leave a link in the comments in the description And as always if you like the content here, please like and subscribe.
