Modern Honey Network

Multi-snort and honeypot sensor management, uses a network of VMs, small footprint SNORT installations, stealthy dionaeas, and a centralized server for management.

For questions regarding installation please review the MHN Troubleshooting Guide. Search past questions on the modern-honey-network Google Group. Or send emails to [email protected].

HONEYPOT

Deployed sensors with intrusion detection software installed: Snort, Kippo, Conpot, and Dionaea.

MANAGEMENT SERVER

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 systems administrators to:

  • View a list of new attacks
  • Manage snort rules: enable, disable, download

INSTALLING SERVER (tested Ubuntu 12.0.4.3 x86_64)

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.

$ cd /opt/
$ sudo apt-get install git -y
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/threatstream/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

$ cd $MHN_HOME
$ source env/bin/activate
$ cd server
$ python manual_password_reset.py 
Enter email address: YOUR_USER@YOUR_SITE.com
Enter new password: 
Enter new password (again):

Deploying honeypots with MHN

MHN was designed to make scalable deployment of honeypots easier. Here are the steps for deploying a honeypot with MHN:

  1. Login to your MHN server web app.
  2. Click the "Deploy" link in the upper left hand corner.
  3. Select a type of honeypot from the drop down menu (e.g. "Ubuntu 12.04 Dionaea").
  4. Copy the deployment command.
  5. Login to a honeypot server and run this command as root.
  6. That's it!

Integration with Splunk and ArcSight

hpfeeds-logger can be used to integrate MHN with Splunk and ArcSight. Installation below.

Splunk

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 SplunkUniveralForwarder.

Arcsight

cd /opt/mhn/scripts/
sudo ./install_hpfeeds-logger-arcsight.sh

This will log the events as CEF to /var/log/mhn-arcsight.log

Data

The MHN server reports anonymized attack data back to ThreatStream. If you are interested in this data please contact: [email protected]. 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
