Wordpot is a Wordpress honeypot which detects probes for plugins, themes, timthumb and other common files used to fingerprint a wordpress installation.
$ python wordpot.py --help
Usage: wordpot.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--host=HOST Host address
--port=PORT Port address
--title=TITLE Blog Title
--theme=THEME Default theme name
--plugins=PLUGINS Fake installed plugins
--themes=THEMES Fake installed plugins
--ver=VERSION Wordpress version
To configure the honeypot you can edit the config file wordpot.conf
or provide arguments trough the command line interface as shown above.
You can use a wordpress theme as you would in a normal Wordpress installation by putting the theme folder in the static/wp-content/themes/
directory. You might also need to edit the html skeleton which is stored in the templates/
folder and should be named as your theme (e.g. themename.html
) - take a look at twentyeleven.html
to see how it works.
To use the theme start wordpot with the theme option (default value is twentyeleven
):
$ python wordpot --theme=THEMENAME
Templates are built with the Jinja2 template engine.
Wordpot can be expanded with plugins to improve its behaviour or just expand some functionalities.
For example you can write a plugin to mimick a particular vulnerability in a Wordpress plugin or theme.
