Honeypot

I run a Cowrie honeypot from a digital ocean droplet. I have written about some of the malware I have found downloaded to it, and botnets I have observed. I also have a CSV file that autoupdates, showing daily login attempts. I use python to parse Cowries output into SQLite. To generate the graphs, I use matplotlib.

Graph of SSH Attempts vs Number of Day running

I find it interesting that attacker activity is basically the same amount throughout the day.
