Dataforge Honeypot
Know the moment someone is probing your network. Place decoy systems on your LAN that look like real targets—but your team never uses them. When an attacker scans or connects, you get an alert so your team can investigate and respond before they reach your real servers.
What is a honeypot?
A honeypot is a decoy system placed on your network that looks like a real target—servers, workstations, or services your team never actually uses. Because legitimate users don't touch them, any connection or scan is a strong signal that someone is probing your network. Honeypots give you early warning without waiting for an attacker to reach production systems.
Why does it matter?
Attackers often move laterally inside a network after an initial breach, scanning for vulnerable systems. Traditional perimeter tools may miss this internal activity. Honeypots on your LAN catch probing and lateral movement the moment it happens—before attackers reach your real servers, databases, or file shares.
How Dataforge Honeypot works
Internal attackers probe decoy systems inside your LAN. Activity is reported to a central director, reviewed in the web portal, and alerts notify operators by email or Telegram—no portal log-diving required.
- Register a device in the portal.
- Set up a decoy on a VM or physical system on your LAN.
- Monitor activity in the portal and respond to alerts.
Who is it for?
Security professionals
Get early warning of internal reconnaissance and lateral movement. Use honeypot alerts as a starting point for investigation, containment, and incident response.
IT and operations teams
Receive email or Telegram alerts when something suspicious happens on the LAN instead of relying on periodic log reviews. Feed alerts into your existing ticketing or response process.
Leaders and business owners
Know that internal probing is being detected—without building and maintaining decoy infrastructure yourself.
