Simple HTTPS Honeypot Server

Introduction

The Simple HTTPS Honeypot Server is a cybersecurity tool aimed at emulating a secure web server (HTTPS) to monitor and analyze encrypted web traffic. It uses Python and the Twisted framework to simulate a secure server environment, complete with self-signed SSL certificates. This server is crucial for understanding HTTPS vulnerabilities and potential intrusion methods.

Features

• HTTPS Server Emulation: Mimics a secure web server to log HTTPS requests.
• Self-Signed SSL Certificates: Generates self-signed SSL certificates to mimic secure connections.
• Resource Inlining: Downloads and adjusts external resources like CSS, JS, and images for realistic emulation.
• Extensive Logging: Records all HTTPS requests, including headers, client IP, and requested paths.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Instant insights into HTTPS traffic for suspicious activity detection.
• Educational Resource: Great for studying web security in encrypted environments.

Beta Version Notice

• Beta Version: This script is currently in beta. It may not fully support all websites or web services. Contributions and pull requests are welcome!

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Twisted Python library
• BeautifulSoup4 Python library
• Requests Python library
• Cryptography Python library

Installation

Set up the HTTPS honeypot server with these steps:

git clone https://github.com/0xNslabs/https-honeypot.git
cd https-honeypot
pip install twisted beautifulsoup4 requests cryptography

Usage

Run the server with the necessary arguments for host, port, SSL configuration, and target URL:

python3 https.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 443 --url "https://example.com" --ssl_country "US" --ssl_state "CA" --ssl_locality "San Francisco" --ssl_org "NeroTeam Security Labs" --domain_name "localhost"

Logging

Logs are saved in https_honeypot.log, containing detailed records of HTTPS requests and interactions.
