Release Notes / Changelog

T-Pot 24.04.1 brings significant updates and exciting new honeypot additions, especially the LLM-based honeypots Beelzebub and Galah!

New Features

Beelzebub (SSH) and Galah (HTTP) are the first LLM-based honeypots included in T-Pot (requires Ollama installation or a ChatGPT subscription).
Go-Pot a HTTP tarpit designed to maximize bot misery by slowly feeding them an infinite stream of fake secrets.
Honeyaml a configurable API server honeypot even supporting JWT-based HTTP bearer/token authentication.
H0neytr4p a HTTP/S honeypot capable of emulating vulnerabilities using configurable traps.
Miniprint a medium-interaction printer honeypot.

Updates

Honeypots were updated to their latest pushed code and / or releases.
Editions have been re-introduced. You can now additionally choose to install T-Pot as Mini, LLM and Tarpit edition.
Attack Map has been updated to 2.2.6 including support for all new honeypots.
Elastic Stack has been upgrade to 8.16.1.
Cyberchef has been updated to the latest release.
Elasticvue has been updated to 1.1.0.
Suricata has been updated to 7.0.7, now supporting JA4 hashes.
Most honeypots now use PyInstaller (for Python) and Scratch (for Go) to minimize Docker image sizes.
All new honeypots have been integrated with Kibana, featuring dedicated dashboards and visualizations.
Github Container Registry is now the default container registry for the T-Pot configuration file .env.
Compatibility tested with Alma 9.5, Fedora 41, Rocky 9.5, and Ubuntu 24.04.1, with updated supported ISO links.
Docker images now use Alpine 3.20 or Scratch wherever possible.
Updates for 24.04.1 images will be provided continuously through Docker image updates.
Ddospot has been moved from the Hive / Sensor installation to the Tarpit installation.

Breaking Changes

NGINX

The container no longer runs in host mode, requiring changes to the docker-compose.yml and related services.
To avoid confusion and downtime, the 24.04.1 tag for Docker images has been introduced.
Important: Actively update T-Pot as described in the README.
Deprecation Notice: The 24.04 tagged images will no longer be maintained and will be removed by 2025-01-31.

Suricata

Capture filters have been updated to exclude broadcast, multicast, NetBIOS, IGMP, and MDNS traffic.

T-Pot 24.04.0

Release Notes / Changelog

T-Pot 24.04.0 marks probably the largest change in the history of the project. While most of the changes have been made to the underlying platform some changes will be standing out in particular - a T-Pot ISO image will no longer be provided with the benefit that T-Pot will now run on multiple Linux distributions (Alma Linux, Debian, Fedora, OpenSuse, Raspbian, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu), Raspberry Pi (optimized) and macOS / Windows (limited).

New Features

Distributed Installation is now using NGINX reverse proxy instead of SSH to transmit HIVE_SENSOR logs to HIVE
deploy.sh, will make the deployment of sensor much easier and will automatically take care of the configuration. You only have to install the T-Pot sensor.
T-Pot Init is the foundation for running T-Pot on multiple Linux distributions and will also ensure to restart containers with failed healthchecks using autoheal
T-Pot Installer is now mostly Ansible based providing a universal playbook for the most common Linux distributions
T-Pot Uninstaller allows to uninstall T-Pot, while not recommended for general usage, this comes in handy for testing purposes
T-Pot Customizer (compose/customizer.py) is here to assist you in the creation of a customized docker-compose.yml
T-Pot Landing Page has been redesigned and simplified
Kibana Dashboards, Objects fully refreshed in favor of Lens based objects
Wordpot is added as new addition to the available honeypots within T-Pot and will run on tcp/8080 by default.
Raspberry Pi is now supported using a dedicated mobile.yml (why this is called mobile will be revealed soon!)
GeoIP Attack Map is now aware of connects / disconnects and thus eliminating required reloads
Docker, where possible, will now be installed directly from the Docker repositories to avoid any incompatibilities
.env now provides a single configuration file for the T-Pot related settings
genuser.sh can now be used to add new users to the T-Pot Landing Page as part of the T-Pot configuration file (.env)

Updates

Honeypots and tools were updated to their latest pushed code and / or releases
Where possible Docker Images will now use Alpine 3.19
Updates will be provided continuously through Docker Images updates

Breaking Changes

There is no option to migrate a previous installation to T-Pot 24.04.0, you can try to transfer the old data folder to the new T-Pot installation, but a working environment depends on too many other factors outside of our control and a new installation is simply faster.
Most of the support scripts were moved into the T-Pot Init image and are no longer available directly on the host.
Cockpit is no longer available as part of T-Pot itself. However, where supported, you can simply install the cockpit package.
