Deploy a Honeypot

Once you've setup a server to host a honeypot (see instructions here if you haven't yet setup a host), you can now deploy a honeypot. Click [Deploy Honeypot] on the sidebar to open the Honeypot Deployment page as shown below:

Select Honeypot Type

Currently, 5 types of honeypots are available to deploy via STINGAR: Amum, Conpot, Cowrie, Dionaea & Rdphoney. On this Deploy Honeypot page, a card appears for each one that briefly describes the honeypot and displays the number of instances you currently have running. Click the button for the honeypot you want to deploy. In this example, we are deploying a Cowrie honeypot, so when we click on [Deploy a Cowrie Honeypot], the following screen should appear:

Select Host

In the left pane select the server that will host this honeypot. (If only one host has been created in STINGAR, it will be selected by default.) Information about that host will display below the host dropdown entry.

Configure Honeypot

The right pane displays the configurable settings for the given honeypot type. The settis are pre-populated with default values which you may change.

Deploy Honeypot

Once you have identified the host, assigned tags and are satisfied with the configuration settings for this honeypot, press [Deploy Honeypot] in the lower left to initiate the deployment process.

Once pressed, a page summarizing this deployment will appear. A log table at the bottom of the page keeps a running update about the process as it progresses, logging each step as it completes. If an error is encountered and the honeypot fails to deploy, the cause of the problem will be reported under the 'errors' column of this deployment log table.
