Mario: Hello! I’m Mario, nice to meet you, Happy hacking 🖤

Overview

Beelzebub is an advanced honeypot framework designed to provide a highly secure environment for detecting and analyzing cyber attacks. It offers a low code approach for easy implementation and uses AI to mimic the behavior of a high-interaction honeypot.

Examples

To better understand the capabilities of Beelzebub, you can explore our example repository: mariocandela/beelzebub-example

Quick Start

We provide two quick start options for build and run Beelzebub: using Docker Compose or the Go compiler.

Using Docker Compose

  1. Build the Docker images:

    $ docker-compose build

  2. Start Beelzebub in detached mode:

    $ docker-compose up -d

Using Go Compiler

  1. Download the necessary Go modules:

    $ go mod download

  2. Build the Beelzebub executable:

    $ go build

  3. Run Beelzebub:

    $ ./beelzebub

Deploy on kubernetes cluster using helm

  1. Install helm

  2. Deploy beelzebub:

    $ helm install beelzebub ./beelzebub-chart

  3. Next release

    $ helm upgrade beelzebub ./beelzebub-chart

Testing

We provide two types of tests: unit tests and integration tests.

Unit Tests

To run unit tests:

$ make test.unit

Integration Tests

To run integration tests:

$ make test.integration

Key Features

Beelzebub offers a wide range of features to enhance your honeypot environment:

  • OpenAI Generative Pre-trained Transformer act as Linux virtualization
  • SSH Honeypot
  • HTTP Honeypot
  • TCP Honeypot
  • Prometheus openmetrics integration
  • Docker integration
  • RabbitMQ integration
  • kubernetes

Example Configuration

Beelzebub allows easy configuration for different services and ports. Simply create a new file for each service/port within the /configurations/services directory.

To execute Beelzebub with your custom path, use the following command:

$ ./beelzebub --confCore ./configurations/beelzebub.yaml --confServices ./configurations/services/

Here are some example configurations for different honeypot scenarios:
