HoneyUp¶
Status: Informative · evaluation proof
Upstream: https://github.com/LogoiLab/honeyup
Runtime: Rust upload honeypot (honeyup:uhbs-lab)
Uploader honeypot mimicking weak /uploads PHP endpoints to collect malware and spray-and-pray upload attempts.
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.
Protocol survey¶
| Surface | UHBS plugin? | Graded? | Quick | Full |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
