HoneyBot – Capture, Upload And Analyze Network Traffic

HoneyBot 1 packettotal

HoneyBot is a set of scripts and libraries for capturing and analyzing packet captures with PacketTotal.com. Currently this library provides three scripts:

  • capture-and-analyze.py – Capture on an interface for some period of time, and upload capture for analysis.
  • upload-and-analyze.py – Upload and analyze multiple packet captures to PacketTotal.com.
  • trigger-and-analyze.py – Listen for unknown connections, and begin capturing when one is made. Captures are automatically uploaded and analyzed.

Warning

Any packet capture uploaded to becomes publicly available upon completed analysis.

Limitations

  • Only .pcap and .pcapng files supported.
  • 6 MB analysis max.

Use Cases

  1. Set your honeypot up to stream network traffic directly to PacketTotal.com for analysis.
  2. Analyze a personal repository of malicious PCAPs.
  3. Determine the benignity of hundreds of packet captures.
  4. Automate analyzing (and sharing) honeypot packet captures.
  5. Automate preliminary malware analysis/triage.
