## Introduction The `shodan_honeyscore` module utilizes the [Shodan](https://www.shodan.io/) API to determine whether or not a server is a honeypot. When setting the module options, we aren't directly requesting `TARGET`, we are requesting the Shodan API to analyze `TARGET` and return a honeyscore from 0.0 to 1.0. 0.0 being `not a honeypot` and 1.0 being a `honeypot`. The original website for the honeypot system can be found here: https://honeyscore.shodan.io/. #### NOTE: In order for this module to function properly, a Shodan API key is needed. You can register for a free account here: https://account.shodan.io/register ## Verification Steps 1. Start `msfconsole` 2. Do: `use auxiliary/gather/shodan_honeyscore` 3. Do: `set TARGET ` 4. Do: `set SHODAN_APIKEY ` 5. Do: `run` 6. If the API is up, you should receive a score from 0.0 to 1.0. (1.0 being a honeypot) ## Options **TARGET** The remote host to request the API to scan. **SHODAN_APIKEY** This is the API key you receive when signing up for a Shodan account. It should be a 32 character string of random letters and numbers. ## Scenarios Running the module against a real system (in this case, the Google DNS server): ``` msf > use auxiliary/gather/shodan_honeyscore msf auxiliary(shodan_honeyscore) > options Module options (auxiliary/gather/shodan_honeyscore): Name Current Setting Required Description ---- --------------- -------- ----------- SHODAN_APIKEY yes The SHODAN API key TARGET yes The target to get the score of msf auxiliary(shodan_honeyscore) > set TARGET 8.8.8.8 TARGET => 8.8.8.8 msf auxiliary(shodan_honeyscore) > set SHODAN_APIKEY [redacted] SHODAN_APIKEY => [redacted] msf auxiliary(shodan_honeyscore) > run [*] Scanning 8.8.8.8 [-] 8.8.8.8 is not a honeypot [*] 8.8.8.8 honeyscore: 0.0/1.0 [*] Auxiliary module execution completed ```
