The Honey Bear Hard Hat...
...is a hard hat with fuzzy ears, a built-in battery, and an interactive touch screen that shows a bear's face as people from anywhere in world connect to him. You can see how many people are connected, what commands they are running, if they have triggered any surprises, and you can even poke his nose...but watch out! As more and more people connect, the bear starts to glitch and go a little crazy.
Created by Hydrox, you can find the Honey Bear Hard Hat at hacker conventions such as DEFCON along with other members of the Hard Hat Brigade.
NOTE: This site and project are currently in beta testing. The GitHub links to the source and other materials may not be live at this time.
FAQ
What is a honey pot?
A honey pot is a security resource whose value lies in being probed, attacked, or compromised. It is a trap set to detect, deflect, or in some manner counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems.
What is SSH?
SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. The most common application of SSH is for remote login to computer systems by users.
Why does it look like a bear?
Bears are cute! I'm a big fan of the hacker/cyberpunk aesthetic, but I thought it would be fun to make my next project with the exact opposite aesthetic.
Is it open source?
Yes! The Honey Bear Honey Pot app is fully open source. Check out the repo on GitHub, and I'd love any help if there's interest in improving the app!
Do you have to run it on a hard hat?
No, but it is fun if you do!
The app is built to be cross platform and it will run on macOS, Linux, Windows, and yes, a hard hat. You can also run it without the animated bear GUI, but that is also much less fun.
How did you build it?
I will have a blog post including a video about the project soon!
This section will be updated as soon as it's ready.
Is it really a honey pot?
It sure is! It's not as full featured as other more estabished projects, but you can stand it up, people can access it and it tracks their commands. The "shell" is entirely simulated via the app so that no commands can be run on the host.
If you have suggestions, thoughts, or questions about the project, I'd love to chat and make the project better!
Try it!
When it's online, you can connect to the hard hat via SSH. If you know how to do that on your device, you can connect via:
> ssh honeybear.hydrox.fun
If you don't know how or even not sure what SSH is and just want to try it, you can play around on the hard hat right here on this site!
Tips:
- Type something! Throw commands at it and see what you can figure out.
- To read a text file, try:
cat [filename]
- To see what files are in the current directory, try:
ls
- To look in a different directory, try: cd [directory] Ex:
cd /root/.workspace/.garbage
- Have fun!
