CTI & blue-team reading

This page is the protocol-level proof hub for qeeqbox-honeypots on telnet. Prefer the full run over quick for operational decisions. Numbers without the verbatim SCORECARD (or report.json) are not trustworthy citations.

Module interpretation (this protocol)

Module Score Analyst reading
A — Protocol Fidelity 30.0 Protocol speak / banner-handshake quality for keeping automated clients engaged.
B — Behavioral Realism 42.5 Post-connect realism (auth/session). Low often means credential-only or reject-by-design. CTI: treat primarily as auth/connection intelligence.
C — Telemetry Quality 55.0 How much useful telemetry the graded lab exposed to UHBS — not your SIEM maturity. Blue team: plan explicit log shipping; do not assume UHBS C equals production visibility.
D — Safety & Containment (C) 75.0 Containment/Safety Gate. Below threshold collapses UHQS via δ_C. Check δ_C carefully.
E — Scalability & Latency 100.0 Latency vs profile P95. Low can mean timeouts, tarpits, or slow handlers.
F — Static Code Audit 69.0 Static audit of the lab source tree — hygiene signal, not a full CVE program.
δ_C 0.5625 Safety Gate multiplier applied to composite UHQS.
  • CTI: use Module A/B to judge engagement depth (scanner noise vs post-auth TTPs). Low B usually means credential/connection intelligence, not interactive malware staging.
  • Blue team: verify Safety Gate (Module D / δ_C) before Internet exposure; wire SIEM shipping yourself — Module C is harness visibility, not your pipeline.
  • Replication: commands live in the product tutorial; environment limits in the methodology.
