NAME

       thpot - Tiny honeypot to setup simple (and fake) services

SYNOPSIS

       thpot [service name]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the thpot command.  This manual page
       was written for the Debian distribution because  the  original  program
       does  not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in the GNU
       Info format; see below.

       thpot is a program that enables you to fake services by configuring  it
       to  be  executed  through  either  xinetd or inetd.  All the connection
       attempts  and  sessions  to  simulated  services   are   logged   under
       /var/log/thpot.

OPTIONS

       This  program  takes as argument the name of the service which is being
       simulated, it can be anyone of shell, ftp, http, mssql, smtp,  pop3  or
       ssh.  If  the service name is none of these a null response is returned
       (but the session is logged)

FILES

       /var/log/thpot
              Location  of  the  connections  attempts  and  sessions  to  the
              honeypot services.
