New Honeypot Framework BaitRoute Misleads Attackers

/ 1 min read

🐝 New Honeypot Framework BaitRoute Aims to Mislead Attackers. A security engineer has developed BaitRoute, a honeypot framework designed to create realistic-looking fake vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs. This tool, which supports multiple programming languages including Go, Python, and JavaScript, allows users to register endpoints that appear vulnerable, thereby misleading vulnerability scanners. BaitRoute includes nearly 100 pre-configured rules and enables the creation of custom rules, providing alerts when decoy vulnerabilities are probed. While it may not be suitable for high-traffic sites, it can be particularly useful for smaller applications to track dedicated attackers and potentially identify insider threats. The framework aims to waste attackers’ time with false positives, enhancing overall security awareness.
