A simple SSH honeypot designed to detect and study attacker behavior, built as a beginner cybersecurity project.

WARNING: This is a learning tool. Only deploy in isolated environments you own or have explicit permission to monitor. Never use on production networks.

• Purpose: Learn about network security by studying real attacker techniques
• Technology: Python sockets, multi-threading, logging
• Features: Fake SSH server, connection logging, attacker interaction analysis

• honeypot.py - Main honeypot script
• analyzer.py - Log analysis tool (optional)
• honeypot.log - Detailed activity logs (generated)
• connections.log - Connection summaries (generated)
