COWRIE HONEYPOT INSTALLATION, CONFIGURATION AND SSH ATTACK LOGGING PROCESS

This article covers the process of installing the Cowrie honeypot system on the Linux operating system, initial configuration, and recording of cyberattacks targeting the SSH service. In the course of the study, the architecture, configuration files, as well as log-entry generation mechanisms of the Cowrie software were analyzed. It also looked at the ways in which log data can be collected, analyzed, and used to ensure cybersecurity as a result of brute force and dictionary attacks. The results obtained showed that the Cowrie honeypot system is an effective tool for early detection and analysis of attacks on real-world networks.
