What this decoy is

Uploader honeypot mimicking weak /uploads PHP endpoints to collect malware and spray-and-pray upload attempts. Graded with the UHBS http plugin against a Docker lab on 127.0.0.1:18091.

HTTP yes (http) yes 50.91 / D 50.91 / D

Named product is evaluation proof only — not a UHBS endorsement.

For CTI analysts

  • File-upload TTPs and staging payloads dropped by automated upload scanners.
  • Compare Module A/B when judging engagement depth versus credential-only sinks.

Primary signals you can expect (when logging is wired): HTTP paths, User-Agents, credential or upload attempts visible to the lab harness.

For blue teams / detection engineering

  • Isolate uploaded blobs; lab uses placeholder canary env vars — rotate and never reuse production AWS keys in compose.
  • Wire explicit log shipping; UHBS Module C reflects harness visibility, not SIEM maturity.

Trust & limitations

  • Evaluation proof under UHBS 4.2.2 — not certification or vendor ranking.
  • Prefer full/ artifacts over quick/ for operational decisions.
  • Re-run via TUTORIAL.md; environment notes in METHODOLOGY.md.
