Strengths
  • Zero dependencies, works on Workers, Deno, Bun, Node, Next.js, Hono, Express
  • Pixel-perfect WordPress 6.7.2 login page that captures submitted credentials
  • Slow-drip fake .env and .git files that take ~80 seconds to download
Weaknesses
  • JavaScript servers only — no Python, Go, or Ruby middleware adapters
  • No built-in analytics dashboard to visualize trapped bot activity over time

Endlessh Fisher – Turn SSH tarpit bots into collectible fish

It turns trapped SSH bots into collectible fish with species tied to trap duration, a live aquarium view, achievements, leaderboards and a read-only REST API — a delightful gamification of honeypot telemetry. Nice practical details too: privacy-friendly default hashing, optional on-click IP lookups (Shodan/AbuseIPDB), and a Docker Compose entrypoint that runs migrations and seeds automatically; just remember this is purely a visualization layer — you still need endlessh-go and InfluxDB.
