The honeypot shell that traps you in a conversation with an LLM pretending to be a shell.

Experimental

This project creates a 'honeypot shell' that traps attackers in a conversation with an AI pretending to be a real system's command line. It takes an incoming SSH connection from a potential intruder and presents them with a fake shell interface powered by a large language model. This tool is for cybersecurity professionals and system administrators looking to deceive and observe unauthorized access attempts without risking real systems.

No commits in the last 6 months.

Use this if you want to lure attackers into a controlled, simulated environment to study their methods or waste their time, rather than letting them interact with actual critical infrastructure.

Not ideal if you need a fully functional, high-performance interactive shell or are looking for a defensive tool that actively blocks or remediates threats rather than just observing them.
