but before I do, I figured I'd ask if anyone's aware of any tools/software that covers my basic needs of setting something basic that may alert me if there are any intruders in the network?

Needs:

  1. Fake ssh login that can trigger a script so I can take care of the rest.
  2. Fake network share (cifs/samba) that can trigger a script if anything tries to access it.

Would be great if there are any docker images I can just pull, make some minor edits, and run.

Thanks!

....why would you do this?

[-] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

I plan on making it available inside my own network, not public. This way if someone makes it past my security, I at least have something that might "catch" them in the act and disable my network so I can intervene. Just another security layer.

I have never thought about doing this... But this is actually such a good idea. I'm probably going to set this up myself

If you place this on the inside of your network and it triggers, youre either compromised or a scanner/ person triggered it.

That's the idea I think

one of the best ways to protect your friends is to leave juicy bait that only zero-sum people would try to steal

plus wasting malicious user's time also provides multiple benefits such as reducing the prevalence of spam and DDoS attacks

Do you not feel the itch of curiosity?
