Methodology: nosqlpot UHBS lab

UHBS: 4.2.2 · Graded redis Low-Interaction decoy.
Quick 42.37 / F, full 40.08 / F.

Analyst trust notes

  • Role: Python 2 Twisted fake Redis (NoPo) with fakeredis-backed command handling; legacy stack pinned for reproducible lab builds.
  • Evidence primary sources: full/SCORECARD.txt, full/report.json, this methodology, and the tutorial commands.
  • Air-gap / Safety: lab runs used UHBS_AIRGAP_ATTESTED=1; still isolate honeypot networks in real deployments.
  • Not in scope: UHBS does not certify detection content packs, MITRE mappings, or production SIEM pipelines.
  • Reading guide: READING-UHQS.md

Environment & containment

Labs use Docker network uhbs-lab with 127.0.0.1 host binds only. Module F uses source_root pointing at the cloned upstream tree under .local/labs/nosqlpot.

Evidence hierarchy

  1. full/SCORECARD.txt (human-readable proof)
  2. full/report.json (machine-readable)
  3. This methodology (class, protocol scope, known limits)
  4. Tutorial commands (replication)

Quick runs are for iteration speed. Prefer full when publishing or comparing products.

What UHBS does not claim

Not a vulnerability assessment of every dependency CVE, not a guarantee of Internet engagement volume, not a SIEM content pack, and not an endorsement of the named open-source project.
