SecKC-MHN-Globe by n0xa

Your own cyber-atack realtime map!

This is a project I came across through n0xa’s Instagram. He himself describes it as:

Terminal-based application displaying a rotating 3D ASCII globe with a live dashboard of incoming connection attempts. Connects to HPFeeds (honeypot data feeds) to show real-time attack data from security honeypots worldwide. **https://github.com/n0xa/SecKC-MHN-Globe**

We’ve already discussed **how to set up your own honeypot with DShield, which is essentially a small “trap” designed to lure hackers. This programme is a real-time visualisation tool for cyberattacks captured by honeypots**. Its main purpose is to display, on a 3D globe, where intrusion attempts originate from and where they are directed.

By default, the map shows attacks coming from the SecKC MHN Dashboard, but it is also possible to use the **Internet Storm Centre feed** to access a greater amount of information.
