3 Honeypots

(Another) Day in the Life of an OpenCanary Honeypot

🚨 My 3 OpenCanary honeypots are thriving! 🚨

These little traps are proving to be very popular—if Internet attention were a contest, they’d have lots of friends. 😎

I’ve been keeping a close eye on them via Splunk, and some of the dashboards have been remodeled for an even cleaner view. The daily summary now includes a detailed breakdown of which countries are generating the most traffic, giving me great visibility into global scanning activity.

All honeypot hits are sent securely to Splunk HEC over Tailscale, and we’re seeing hundreds of thousands of events every single day. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the kinds of activity happening out there, and the dashboards make it easy to digest at a glance.

Cybersecurity hobbyists, pen-testers, or anyone interested in real-world Internet traffic—these honeypots are a playground of insights.
