What is threat.gg?

threat.gg is a honeypot-as-a-service platform that lets you deploy decoy services across your infrastructure and monitor real-world attack traffic in real time. Instead of spending weeks configuring and maintaining honeypot software, you install a single lightweight agent on any Linux server and start collecting threat intelligence immediately.

Why We Built It

Traditional honeypot solutions are fragile, hard to manage, and typically require dedicated security engineering resources. Most organizations that would benefit from threat intelligence simply can’t afford the overhead. We built threat.gg to change that — making honeypot deployment as simple as running a single binary.

Supported Protocols

The threat.gg agent emulates high-fidelity services across multiple protocols:

  • SSH — Captures credentials, shell commands, and session recordings
  • PostgreSQL & MySQL — Logs authentication attempts and query payloads
  • HTTP & Kubernetes API — Monitors web-based attacks and API exploitation attempts
  • FTP — Tracks file transfer abuse and credential stuffing
  • Elasticsearch — Detects data exfiltration and cluster takeover attempts
  • LDAP, Telnet, SMB — Covers legacy and enterprise protocol attack surfaces

Every interaction is captured, geolocated, and forwarded to the threat.gg platform where it appears on your dashboard in real time.

Getting Started

Sign up for a free account, deploy the agent on your server, and start watching attacks roll in. The entire setup takes under five minutes. You can explore attack data through the live dashboard, query the REST API, or connect your AI tools via our MCP integration for automated analysis.

We’re just getting started — follow this blog for platform updates, threat intelligence reports, and security research from the data our honeypots collect.
