This project is undergoing a partial rewrite for Python 3 targeting Ubuntu 20.04 as the primary platform.
The last stable commit would be be58cbf8c726c29c4c0f993023688fdbd026ee05 for Ubuntu 18.04, although you may still encounter dependency issues. Please continue to report any bugs found. Pull requests are encouraged!
Modern Honey Network
MHN is a centralized server for management and data collection of honeypots. MHN allows you to deploy sensors quickly and to collect data immediately, viewable from a neat web interface. Honeypot deploy scripts include several common honeypot technologies, including Snort, Cowrie, Dionaea, and glastopf, among others.
For questions regarding troubleshooting your installation, please review the MHN Troubleshooting Guide, search past questions on the modern-honey-network Google Group, or send emails to [email protected].
MHN is a Flask application that exposes an HTTP API that honeypots can use to:
- Download a deploy script
- Connect and register
- Download snort rules
- Send intrusion detection logs
It also allows system administrators to:
- View a list of new attacks
- Manage snort rules: enable, disable, download
- The MHN server is supported on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and Centos 6.9.
- Other versions of Linux may work but are generally not tested or supported.
Note: if you run into trouble during the install, please checkout the troubleshooting guide on the wiki. If you only want to experiment with MHN on some virtual machines, please check out the Getting up and Running with Vagrant guide on the wiki.
Install Git
# on Debian or Ubuntu
$ sudo apt install git -y
Install MHN
$ cd /opt/
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/pwnlandia/mhn.git
$ cd mhn/
Run the following script to complete the installation. While this script runs, you will be prompted for some configuration options. See below for how this looks.
$ sudo ./install.sh

For directions on running MHN behind a web proxy, follow the directions in the wiki.
By default MHN will run without HTTPS, to configure your installation to use SSL certificates directions can be found in the wiki.
Running MHN in docker is not officially supported, but it might work. The container takes a few minutes to start at the first launch to initialize. Splunk, ArcSight and ELK are not yet supported in Docker.
$ docker build -t mhn .
$ docker run -d -p 10000:10000 -p 80:80 -p 3000:3000 -p 8089:8089 \
$ --restart unless-stopped \

MHN was designed to make scalable deployment of honeypots easier. Here are the steps for deploying a honeypot with MHN:
- Login to your MHN server web app.
- Click the "Deploy" link in the upper left hand corner.
- Select a type of honeypot from the drop down menu (e.g. "Ubuntu Dionaea").
- Copy the deployment command.
- Login to a honeypot server and run this command as root.
If the deploy script successfully completes you should see the new sensor listed under your deployed sensor list. For a full list of supported sensors, check the list here: List of Supported Sensors
hpfeeds-logger can be used to integrate MHN with Splunk and ArcSight.
cd /opt/mhn/scripts/
sudo ./install_hpfeeds-logger-splunk.sh
This will log the events as key/value pairs to /var/log/mhn-splunk.log. This log should be monitored by the SplunkUniversalForwarder.
cd /opt/mhn/scripts/
sudo ./install_hpfeeds-logger-arcsight.sh
This will log the events as CEF to /var/log/mhn-arcsight.log
NOTICE This section is out of date. Community data is not collected by Anomali although MHN still attempts to send this data to Anomali servers.
The MHN server reports anonymized attack data back to Anomali, Inc. (formerly
known as ThreatStream). If you are interested in viewing this data, get details
in the
wiki.
This data reporting can be disabled by running the following command from the
MHN server after completing the initial installation steps outlined above:
/opt/mhn/scripts/disable_collector.sh
MHN is an open source project that relies on community involvement. Please check out our troubleshooting guide on the wiki. We will also lend a hand, if needed. Find us at: [email protected].
MHN was originally created by Anomali, Inc.
MHN leverages and extends upon several awesome projects by the Honeynet project. Please show them your support by way of donation.
