Methodology: HoneyAgents UHBS lab

Status: Informative
UHBS: 4.2.2
Upstream commit: 43d4114fe8b235c1646571f7bc50bacc7a32533a

Protocol survey

Surface In compose? Live decoy? UHBS plugin Graded?
Cowrie SSH :2222 yes yes ssh Yes
Cowrie Telnet :2223 port published no (stock defaults) telnet No
nginx → Apache yes protected app http No — not a honeypot
AutoGen yes LLM agent No — needs OpenAI; not a listen decoy

Environment notes

  • Image: cowrie/cowrie:latest (exact compose honeypot service)
  • Host map: 127.0.0.1:13222 → container :2222
  • Safety: UHBS_AIRGAP_ATTESTED=1; Module D C=100 → δ_C=1.0 on these runs
  • Full stack (deny-list agent) not required for UHQS decoy scores

Limitations

  • Grades the Cowrie component HoneyAgents embeds, not AutoGen report quality
  • Module C partial without STIX/OTel mounts
  • Evaluation proof only — not certification
