FakeSSH

A dockerized honeypot SSH server written in Go to log login attempts. Password authentications always fail so no terminal access is given to the attacker.

Quick Start

go install github.com/fffaraz/fakessh@latest
fakessh [optional-log-directory]

OR

docker run -it --rm -p 22:22 fffaraz/fakessh

OR

docker run -d --restart=always -p 22:22 --name fakessh fffaraz/fakessh
docker logs -f fakessh
